Are you obsessive compulsive about design?

Posted 14 April 2007, by Aaron

As I’ll be far too busy watching Manchester United thump Watford in the FA Cup semi-final to write a lengthy article today, just a quick link.

The guys over at Bittbox have compiled 25 reasons why you might be a hardcore graphic/web designer. If you want to while away five minutes and have a laugh whilst you’re at it, head over and check it out. Five of my favourites are:

• You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
• You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
• You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
• You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
• You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your girlfriend’s blouse than listen to what she has to say. (Hope she’s not reading…)

If you’ve not come across it before, Bittbox is a pretty cool site with lots of Adobe Illustrator tutorials and free buttons and brushes (etc) to download. I recommend giving them a visit.

Thanks to Brown Baron and Scot for the previous posts’ comments. Always appreciated.
