no this is a managerial decision. close is a simple concept (like 'bigly money') that the managerial class can understand. so they put it close

Maybe they're being honest? That's what happens to avocados when you put them in those plastic bags.

The product is a vacuum sealing machine. Since oxidization is the reason avocados turn brown, storing one with very little air should help a lot.

Also why wouldn't you put the avocado between the words. Looks weird off to the side like that.

They could place the avocado in the middle, so that it is close to both while still being "correct"

As someone who's had to design graphics with a manager backseat driving, yes.

Are you sure you want 300 characters on a business card? It wont be legible. Yes, I know it looks big on the screen, it's called zo... oh okay. And a boat in the background? But it's for an event without boats. Yep. Okay. It represents freedom and people will understand? There's your boat.

A month later someone posts a worst business card top ten list for likes and everyone blames the designer.

You can't get a good vacuum seal with a regular ziplock bag.

Food will last longer properly sealed.

I've never needed to keep an avocado long enough to require vacuum sealing, but if keeping food fresher longer is important to you, a vacuum sealer will do better than a ziplock.

i mean you can get a pretty decent vacuum by just sucking the air out of a regular plastic bag, twisting up the loose end, and putting a separate clip on it. Plus that's way more reusable.
