My designer doesn’t read feedback edits unless they pertain to design.

Many projects they will just not add in the edits unless I go into the doc & highlight where all the changes are (I get it can get confusing so I do this on complicated copy edit jobs, but when it’s just a single copy edit I have to do the same). I get pinged by AE asking why copy edits weren’t made & I will then dm the designer & go through all the edits. Is there a good way to go about this without sounding like a jerk?

“My” designer :/

Truly nothing wrong with the 'my' in this instance. Resume normal activities. Nothing to see here.

Designers can’t read. That’s why they have a copy partner.

Who has the time?! I’ve got pixels to push, text boxes to align, and charts to adjust

Your words are just another shape

Designers do a ton of the heavy lifting on the back end, as copywriters this is our way of taking some of the burden on the front end. I've felt the same way before, but I'm not the one stuck versioning assets or dealing with files at the end of the project. It all evens out.

Always highlight them. Or, better yet, ask them to make as much as possible editable in your shared deck.

Devils advocate as an art person…sometimes comments can seem conversational or can be filtered accidentally depending on routing software. It might be helpful to call out “art action” or “action”. You could also reach out to them and ask if there’s a better way for you to mark up changes that should be incorporated (it should really be coming as an ask from art but still). Sometimes we zone out :)

There’s a good way to go about this and it starts with you stop referring to this person as “your” designer.

We get paired together on most jobs. They call me their copywriter? Their title is graphic designer. I’m not really seeing the issue? We say that to each other all the time. Is there something wrong with that?

Background: The designer & I are the same age but they have worked here 2yr longer than me.

Unless you want to learn adobe, my suggestion is just highlight your changes in the copy doc
