So, if you are in the design trade you will no doubt come across those day-to-day pet hates, which mainly come in the form of supplied artwork and images!! Working as a Graphic Designer I have come across alot of these, below are a few examples. Do you agree? Are there any you would add to the list!??
• Using Comic Sans font
• Force justifying paragraphs
• Supplying web image for printing
• Supplying what you think is 'suitable artwork' in Powerpoint or Word
Interestingly, if you search on the net for 'You know your a Graphic Designer when...' you get some funny results:
You know you're a Graphic Designer when:
- Seeing someone use Lens Flare or Comic Sans affects your blood-pressure
- Looking at a menu make you go “hmmm, ITC Baskerville italic” rather than “mmmm, lunch!”
- Apple+Z is the first thing that goes through your mind if you drop and break something.
- Your significant other/ friends have threatened to never speak to you again if you point out one more font to them.
- Your hand is permanently stuck in the shape of a mouse
- You organize your CD collection according to the Pantone chart.
Ok, so slightly mocking the graphic designers of this world but im sure you will find them just as amusing as me and if you have any to add please feel free....
