25 Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer

(In no particular order)

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.

2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.

3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.

4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.

5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.

6. You consider meals interruptions.

7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.

8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.

9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.

10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.

11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.

12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.

13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)

14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.

15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.

16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)

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.

18. You’ve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasn’t part of the deal.

19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.

20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)

21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.

22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.

23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.

24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.

25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.

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. :)

- Hmm, nope.

6. You consider meals interruptions.
- And sleep.

- 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".

Great List!!!!

I am guilty of most on the list!!

HAHA

"16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)"

But the client is always right!

Those are more like montras then anything else lol, I'm guilty of DAMN NEAR everything....

EXECPT I do NOT have a fucking short temper and any motherfucker who says otherwise I will fucking kil..... err yeah, as I was saying no short temper here, at lest when it comes to designing.... now my electric sander, well thats another sad sad story.

-Loki-

#4 holy crap that is me lol.... i still type with two fingers (aka "pecking") but i think i'm up to like 30 wpm doing it

LOL, I figured I was the only one who was still doing that, well THREE if you count my spacebar finger, as for how many WPM, hell I dunno, I type fast as fuck with just the two fingers, and most times I don't even have to look at the keyboard, but gods know my spelling is fucking horrid lol

-Loki-

I'm still a 2 finger typer also and it's been like 17 years that's I've been using a computer. haha

wow!! 13 here haha. and i keep telling myself i'd be "so much better" if i would just take a typing class because i'd get plenty of practice and then i could do my PHP or actionscript at lightning speed :upsidedow

hahaha guilty :)
number is so true

If you install Photoshop first and forget to install MS word in your work station

I feel that I'm quick enough with 2 fingers plus if I used all of my fingers I would make at least 8 times the amount of typos. lol
