Isn’t the amount of proofreading work you do in the office that heavy? When reviewing the drawings of designers who are a bit careless, don’t you feel the urge to say, \"Never mind, I’ll redraw them for you\"?
Standardization of corporate design management systems!
The proofreader’s role in the unit, compared to that of the squad leader or platoon leader, is not only to lead the troops but also to charge forward armed with a gun just like a soldier. Otherwise, just proofreading those tasks isn’t enough to make a living; a significant amount of time still needs to be spent as a designer. So it is common to see such a situation: in Project A, Person A acts as the designer while Person B does the proofreading; whereas in Project B, Person B is the designer and Person A does the proofreading. When roles are swapped, responsibilities also change. Of course, they won’t fight with each other or cover for one another’s mistakes, after all, they are all responsible for the quality of the design.
