Arthur Park November 10, 2010 at 23:36 hah. lots in common. i read comics too. Reply a bourbon for silvia November 11, 2010 at 12:03 And now you have a MAC.. now you are hooked! Reply Arthur Park November 11, 2010 at 12:10 Well, you dont read much comics, do you? Two salesmen and one woman pushed ten mac-products my way, like preachers selling the ten commandments (and the Gospel of Jesus) but I only needed this cheap one that is easy to write on. It is possible to get great deals on the old Mac Air, the one without flash-memory.

Kerstin April 14, 2011 at 23:55 I would add - They want to retouch everything e.g. if the pattern of the cobblestone is out of alignment they ask for the clone stamp - If they make mistakes (even) off the job they scream -Z! - They mess up your apartment with sample stuff like paper bags, labels, - They also hate word and corel draw - They unfold any complex cardboard box to analyse how its produced - They are unbeatable in twisting their fingers (4-finger-shortcut) - They describe colors in cymk like 100/60/0/75 which is dark blue - Theyre never bored (even if theyre alone) cause theres always creative stuff in their head - They are often afflicted with typewriters cramp - They cant take a look at photos without grumbling about yellow teeth - They always have a car behind them honking like crazy while they unhurriedly analyse the roadside billboards Reply

Sarang April 15, 2011 at 07:53 LOL. . . I like the points, they are true, but I dont think graphic designers are intentional. and many people like graphic designers views in their life. because graphic designers can think different. They are not lay man. but i loved the feedback from various people. good work Reply

icp-pinoy April 15, 2011 at 10:29 Oh dear. Shall I have to rewrite my blogs? All along I thought everyone else enjoyed scrutinizing the menu design, the wall dcor, even the napkin, original floor tiles and signage in restaurants. Now whats wrong with asking peoples opinions about a design and following what you want anyway?
50 reasons not to date a graphic designer a bourbon for silvia And doesnt anyone like Miro anymore? Hehehe. Reply
Siopao-Kun April 15, 2011 at 14:02 1. They are very weird people. 5. They drink and eat all kinds of weird shit just because they like the packaging. 11. They will fill your house with magazines and whatever is out there that has drawings. 15. They idolize people who nobody knows and speak of them as if they were his colleagues. 17. They ask your opinion about everything but they do whatever they want. 19. They hate Comic Sans with the same passion they love Helvetica. 25. Everything becomes something other than what it really is: cards as tickets, cards as 32. On vacation they will take you to countries that you do not know exist and have no beach. 35. They cant go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design. 36. They listen to music you have never heard of. 44. You will never understand their gifts. 45. They see ordinary objects and laugh. 47. They see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix. 50. They are always sleepy because they work 24/7. TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOLzz hahahahah Reply

Seixas April 15, 2011 at 19:05 Depends on what kind of designer youre talking about, some points are very true, but I would add -They are usually internally laughing about you because of your ignorance and terrible ideas. -They get mad when they ask for a hi res picture and they get a picture pasted in word. -They get mad when they ask for a vector logo and they get an animated gif. -They know that a lot of clients cant afford their services. -Theyre always surrounded by hot models. -They get a lot of money from your pocket making stuff that takes 5 minutes or less. -They can get in a single project, the money you will earn in a year. Reply a bourbon for silvia April 18, 2011 at 15:07 OMG! OMG!!! THESE were absolutely a great addition!!! 2-They get mad when they ask for a hi res picture and they get a picture pasted in word. OMD!! :d

geaux2girl April 17, 2011 at 16:20 I love this!!! I have done GD for over 20 years now and this list pretty much describes me. My bf says I am the coolest dork hes ever met. He would also add how he has to hide his magazines from me, and that he would like to look at a billboard as just a billboard and not have to discuss layout, colors or fonts. He also wishes he would never hear the term true black again.
