For designers
Beautifully kerned. Spelt wrong.
You set the client’s copy exactly as they sent it, typos and all, and somehow it’s still your mistake. Final Eyes reads the finished artwork, words in the pictures included, and hands you a numbered list of amends.
The problem
You’re looking at the layout, not the letters. By the third round of amends you’ve stopped reading the copy at all: you’re checking the grid, the crop and whether the logo has moved again.
The copy arrived in an email, a Word file and a voice note. Some of it was pasted from a chatbot. Nobody proofread it, because everyone assumed the designer would.
A typo on a screen is a fix. A typo on 5,000 printed leaflets is a reprint, and an awkward conversation about who pays for it.
How Final Eyes helps
- Reads the artwork, not just the text. Exported PDFs, flattened images and pages where the type has been outlined. Headlines on banners, prices on packaging and the small print at the bottom.
- Checks the details that cost a reprint. A day that doesn’t match its date, opening times that can’t be right, a web address that won’t work, a phone number with a digit missing, a QR code that goes somewhere else.
- Checks the client’s colours. Add each client’s palette to their house style, and Final Eyes points out flat colours in the artwork that aren’t on it.
- Finds what was never meant to be there. “Headline goes here”, “[Client name]”, “£XX” and the “Certainly! Here’s a revised version” someone pasted in.
- Hands you amends, not opinions. Every suggestion gets a code (A1, A2, A3), a place on the page and a short reason. Approve or dismiss each one, then send the list or a marked-up proof back to the client.
- Leaves the design alone. It doesn’t flag all caps, stylised spellings or a slogan written as a fragment, and it never touches your file.
An example
A designer finishes a poster for a summer fair on Friday afternoon. Before it goes to print, they drop the PDF into Final Eyes. It flags “Saturday 14 June” when the 14th is a Sunday, the sponsor’s name spelt two ways, and a QR code that goes to a different address from the one printed under it. Three amends, A1 to A3, a marked-up proof back to the client, and the poster prints on Monday as planned.
Which plan
Working on your own, Solo is made for one person. A studio with a few designers sharing the checks is better on Starter or Team. See pricing.
