{ Halloween Costume Ideas for Designers }

It's that time of year again when children go door to door begging for teeth rotting goodies. For a kid this is the best day of the year but when your an adult it can become depressing. The pressure to have an amazing costumes can be overwhelming especially if your a designer. People aspect you to have a great and creative costumes. That's were I can come in handy, here are some different ideas for a graphic designer who wants to dress up and celebrate this time of the year.

{1} You could go as the World Wide Web. For this costume all you really need is fishing lure and some kind of Internet content that you can post on the "web" you make out of the lure.



{2} You could go as graphic designer zombie. For this costume all you need is face paint, fake blood, riped hipster clothes, and either a Macbook or a sketch pad. Just make your self look like a zombie and walk around criticizing every piece of design that you see.



{3} Go as a QR code. For this costume all you have to do is create a QR code , print it out and tape it on to a plain white or black t-shirt, bonus if the code actually works with a QR scanner.



{4} You could go as a sponsored post. All you need for this is a square frame and a marker. Just write sponsor post on the bottom of the frame and put on a shirt your already own that has a brand on in. Put the frame around the shirt and start collecting the complements. { Sorry no picture }


{5} You could go as the cover of your favorite magazine, for example Times. All you need for this costume is the red boarder and the Times font. And before you know your on the cover of Times.

                                     


{6} You could go as a Roy Lichtenstein painting. For this painting all you need is face paint and polka dot outfit and a lot of patiences to complete the process.
                           


{7} You could go as a Instagram photo. For this costume all you need to do is print a large outline of the Instragram cut a hole in the middle and walk around showcasing your yourself.

                            


{8} You can go a designers true nightmare which would be Error 404. For this costume all you need is a sharpie and a white t-shirt. All you have to do is write Error 404 and then Costume Not Found underneath it. This is a great last minute costume for all kinds of computer nerds everywhere.

                                        


{9} You can go as a Photoshop file. For this all you need is a light blue placard against a navy background, and if you like you can make the logo tool out of painted wire. This is a perfect costume for the creative and lazy designer.

                                      


{10} And the last costume is to go as an over worked,and tired graphic designer who is trying their best. With all the stress of Halloween its okay to just go as yourself, because being a designer sometimes can be the scares thing you can think of.

                          


                      Happy Halloween !!!
