Pixel Perfect Feedback
Designer: Scrollers - the up and down arrows should be consistently 7 pixels from the top and bottom dotted lines and 5 pixels from the right hand side dotted line. Im not sure about there current placement, can you check this?
Designer: Mainnav - check the leading there should be 5 pixels between the nav text/items currently there is 6 pixels.
Designer: Subnav - check the distance between the vert divider dotted line and the sub nav text/items - should be 14 pixels its 16 pixels at the moment.
Designer: Subnav - check the leading there should be 2 pixels between the nav text/items currently there is 4 pixels. There should be 11 pixels from Cap height to Cap height.

Producer: I'm not sure the client will like you changing their corporate colors
Designer: I think it works

Designer: I think the client would like to see more options
Producer: But the presentation is in 2 hrs and I can't show this
Designer: Let's not make a decision now. No need to stress.
The "White Space" Argument
Client: You seem to have missed elements in the wireframes in your designs
Designer: Yeah I sacrificed them to make sure we had enough white space
Client: White space? I need a search bar though
Designer: I'm sorry not sure you heard me right I said "white space" was at risk
