I had to laugh. I almost walked into this bus stop advertisement. Can you see what's wrong with it?
There are so many schools teaching graphic design and 'visual communications' these days and yet simple errors, like the relationship between text and image, are often overlooked. The team that designed and proofed this ad should have noticed that the names of the actors are clearly misplaced. Kate is on the left, Leonardo is on the right. I had to remark "school boy error!".

Here's a few i found doing a quick scan

I have an explanation for the supposed logic used here. I think it's in order of fame/importance from left to right?
