[Design] Re: screenshots with callouts for details

[Mimi Yin]

Yes, I've done screenshots with callouts before. For some reason, I'm 
having a hard time figuring out a good way to do callouts for this. I 
think it's because it's hard to simultaneously call out what's wrong in 
the current UI AND represent how it should look in the ideal UI. But I 
will try to cobble something together and maybe with feedback from the 
developers, we can iterate towards a better system.

Thanks Alec, Mimi
