found it while perusing the web and decided to share. i'm sure many of you can relate.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Hah, that's cute. I've never seen that before. I don't think those are that realistic though. Haha... I'm sure most designers don't go around critiquing things and ignoring life to pay attention to design-related issues

[*StanleyThePanda*]

hahahaha That is awesome. Here are some of the ones that apply to me :

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

4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Holy crrrrrap.
This page speaks my mind.

Lol, btw, I was at the mall today and all I was mostly doing was trying to memorize the art design concepts on the Ecko and Quiksilver shirts.

Ones that relate to me as well:

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard. (Except I don't have a car, I just notice fonts and stuff too)

6. You consider meals interruptions.

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

19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it. (Not a ticket though)

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 would apply to me also, if I drove.
But I do look at fonts. like this one time me and my sister were driving down the road and I saw this sign that had Pharmacy on it, and I was like "I HAVE THAT FONT!" hahaha My sister got quite a kick out of that.
but yeah, I do that A LOT. And get made fun of.. a lot.

I do that too! 'cept its on different stuff, not always shirts. Just random stuff I see.

i'm a compulsive font pointer-outer. if i see one i know, i have to name it and bring it to the attention of everyone else around me. my friends always make fun of me or stare at me awkwardly whenever i point it out.

[phoenixpyre]

;_;

about 20 of those fit me :(

[Mulder]

thats hilarious!

these are the ones that fit me:

4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
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 don't drive but i bumped into someone once lol)

4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.(i don't use shortcuts for anything... but it applies to me the other way around)

7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving. (< learned my lesson when i forgot to save the psd file)
14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
