1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
- I also play "Name that Font" in my Day-To-Day
2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
- I don't usually get pissed, I just blow it up and remake it larger using the small one as a template.
3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
- Huh? She was saying something?
4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
- Home Row Baby! Also, I create shortcuts that run other shortcut patterns.
5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
- Hmm, nope.
6. You consider meals interruptions.
- And sleep.
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
- There is never a "Final" there is only "I'm sick of doing this one now. NEXT!"
8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
- I just buy a new one.
9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
- I gave up explaining anything to anyone. They just don't "Get It".
10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
- I took the 0,0,255; #0000FF; 88,77,0 0 pill.
11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
- I keep my socks on my desk, so it's all good.
12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.
- I remember that day vividly.
13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
- And tech brushes.
14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
- Yup
15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.
- I've paid for many fonts.
16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
- 7 times out of 10
17. The amount of words you’ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you’ve read in novels.
- Who uses burned discs anymore?
18. You’ve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasn’t part of the deal.
- Yep. Then I proceeded to merge styles, and a few layers, so it's not the original "source".
19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
- Who has time for concerts?
20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)
- I'm a PC.
21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
- Fun night out on the town? Fun is sitting trying to make a mathmatically perfect spiral in Photoshop from scratch.
22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.
- 7 times out of 10
23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
- IMPACT!
24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.
- If only Windows could load them all!
25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.
- More like 10 years ago.
