50 Reasons Not to Date a Graphic Designer

Laughed my arse off when I saw this, it's so true!
"50 reasons not to date a graphic designer" see it here. (Thanks a bourbon for silva)


An insight into the kind of person I am:
1. They are very weird people.
9. They fuck up all the tables with their cutters.
10. They rather study the paisley pattern on your outfit than listen to what you have to say.
19. They hate Comic Sans with the same passion they love Helvetica.
25. Everything becomes something other than what it really is: cards as tickets, cards as …
27. Do not know how to dress without consulting the Pantone book.
28. They hate Excel.
33. Museums are their second home.
35. They can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
37. They can´t cook a normal dish, they always have to experiment with new ingredients.
45. They see ordinary objects and laugh.
47. They see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
48. They dream of the day nobody will make a single change to their designs.

The Sketchbook Project 2012

I'm in!
Signed up last week to the The Sketchbook Project 2012, see my Profile here.

Just waiting for my sketchbook to arrive so I can crack on!
I'm quite excited, it's been such a long time since I actually did any art. Being a graphic designer is just not the same as pencil to paper. I'll keep you posted with snippets from the sketchbook... once it arrives, just got to be patient!
