This Catholic poster might be the most unfortunate design fail ever
Briefly

A recent poster by Gonzaga University students for the Lives of the Saints event showcasing St. Francis Xavier unexpectedly drew attention due to design flaws. The initials 'S.F.X' combined with an awkward graphic placement led to a humorous interpretation that caught the eye of Reddit users. While some find it an unfortunate mistake, others argue it successfully draws attention to the event. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for design oversight and the potential for humorous outcomes in creative projects.
Given the JPII Fellowship's exclusivity, I'd say this is a hilarious happy accident rather than a stab at virality (although I do hope it has inadvertently upped attendance at Lives of the Saints).
Taking to the r/graphic_design subreddit users weighed in on the hilarious misstep, with one Redditor writing "I dunno. Think they nailed it. I'm gonna give ol' Francis a Google now.'
One Redditor chimed in "Ah but it gets your attention! I'd call it a successful design," highlighting the unintended effectiveness of the poster.
The creative formula hit a hitch when faced with the initials 'S.F.X' and an unfortunately placed St. Francis, resulting in an amusing interpretation.
