Are you Hardcore?
I wouldn’t normally do this, but this article (found on Digg) “25 Reasons you Might be a Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer” is totally worth a short post. Here’s some highlights. The article took me by surprise when I started realizing all these things were so true!
- You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
- You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
- You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
- You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.
- You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
I implore you to digg this article here. Any designer should be able to read this and laugh.
Try the DuggMirror link because the site will most likely fall.
