Being a designer totally kicks butt! You become so engrossed in this profession that you fail to notice the awesomeness in it; which (other) people think is totally insignificant. Well, it is time to educate them and let them know why we are the real deal.
To be honest, I think I’ve learned a lot in the process of living the life of a designer. I’m sure you understand when I say this. So, I decided to gather a few peculiar behaviors of today’s designer. This may sound funny to many, but i guarantee this is true to the last nerve 🙂
Before I became a designer (or so I think), i used to find these behaviors hysterical but now I realize the more time I spent being a designer, the clearer it became. Anyway, I just thought I’d share a few of my thoughts on this. It is a weekend post, so have a good laugh 🙂
You know you are a Designer when…..
1. You (kinda)worship Paul Rand, Dieter Rams or Milton Glaser.
2. You can give a big lecture on the differences between ART and DESIGN.
3. You see Apple products and you are like “OMG… IT’S SHINY!!!”
4. Your desk is (mostly) clean and you like to keep it as simple as possible.
5. Your blood pressure increases drastically when you see someone using the Comic Sans font.
6. You HATE Comic Sans (just to be really sure!)
7. You like Helvetica but you think it is absolutely unnecessary to use it everywhere.
8. Just by the mere sight of Drop Shadow, Lens Flare and Bevel effect, you get a nervous breakdown.
9. You take nearly 15 minutes to experiment and decide on the perfect color palette.
10. GIF Images and scrolling texts make you go absolutely mad.
11. You pay (very)close attention to the tiniest of details and don’t want to make even the simplest of mistakes.
12. You see a typeface in a Logo and you go, “What if…..”
13. You (at least)know what HTML/CSS stands for.
14. If you lay your eyes on a board sign, you immediately start to wonder, “Is that Helvetica or Arial?”
15. You get excited when a non-designer asks you to explain your works and eventually get bugged trying to make him understand.
16. You have subscribed to nearly 50 RSS feeds.
17. You get the heebie jeebies when you hear someone say IE.
18. You know all the shortcuts by heart and can work in Photoshop blindfolded.
19. Your Bookmark collection is begging for mercy.
20. You get seriously MAD when someone uses Typeface and Font interchangeably.
