You Know You’re a Graphic Designer When…

Check out the complete list at Creative Curio

From the list I took out the ones that’s sooo me,LOL i bet my family, friends and co-works will strongly agree with:

- You are completely immune to subliminal advertising.
- You refuse to purchase products that have poorly designed packaging.
- You buy dog food based on the bag’s use of color and typography.
- You critique every piece of design you see without realizing it (ex: “That is a horrible Photoshop mask!” or “I wouldn’t use that color scheme. A softer blue would do just nicely.”)
- You have an appreciation for everything unique
- You’re in the sun and you look around for a Drop Shadow to sit under.
- You can’t stand having photos in your albums that are not color corrected.
- Seeing someone use Lens Flare and Comic Sans adversely affects your blood-pressure. (ahahahha)
- You maintain a grid system for your refrigerator magnets. (just a little)
- You organize your CD collection according to the Pantone chart. (I do with color PostIts)
- You sit at work for eight hours straight just looking at your monitor, waiting for a spark of inspiration that doesn’t come. ( add to that: Google Reader helps )
- you look at the clock and see it’s about midnight and think ‘I’ll go to bed now’… and you actually go to bed about 2 am.
- You’re up ‘til 5 am because you came up with the best idea ever while brushing your teeth. (ahaha YEAH!)
- You can name more than 200 fonts in under five minutes. (and yet can’t spell any of them right!)
- You know Lorem Ipsum by heart. ( add: your boss knows Lorem Ipsum by heart)
- Looking at a restaurant menu make you go “hmmm, ITC Baskerville italic”
- You spend $200 on a font for your personal website because “it’s the only one where the lower-case g is just right…”
- You use words about fonts you dislike that other normal people reserve for fascist dictators and serial killers.
- Cmd+Z is the first thing that goes through your mind if you break something.
- You know the difference between fuchsia, magenta, and maroon.

Ahaha I leave you all this noon with laughter.
