{ Designer Secrets }

When it comes to designers we are just like everyone else, we may have a few corks that make us different. Much like everyone else we have are own secrets that we may not admit to at first. Here are some sercets that any kind of designers will never tell you, unless we have a blog and need to come up with a post.

{1} They regular get crushes on stock imagery people. I mean when you spend all day looking at them how can you not.



{2} They always notice bad kerning, and it has been know to ruin their whole day.



{3} They're allowed to be more OCD than the rest of us. I mean have you ever tried to work in pixels, when you do give me a call.



{4} They don't believe clients who say, "I'll know it when I see it". Sometimes the client can be your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time.



{5} They judge your email formatting. Really as long as you don't use comic sans and the return line doesn't say send from my iPhone you should be fine


{6} In fact, they judge everyone and everything formatting. Along with textures and colors and styles and leading and kerning and so on .....



{7} They know certain fonts should be avoided and deleted from your computer. But they also know that every rules has an exception, like how comic sans can only be used by eight year old girls.



{8} They see the world in color models. CMYK and RGB till you D-I-E.



{9} They already think the logo is too big. How dare you suggest they make it bigger.



{10} They will un-friend you if you have a low-res photo as your profile picture. If you can't take a good photo then we were never friends in the first place.



{11} They buy things based on the package design. I don't even like that kind of wine but the packaging is so beautiful.


{12} They've definitely though about what the rasterize layer actually means at least once.



{13} They understand art, but they also understand the hustle. You have to work 9 to 5 to stay alive.



{14} And at the end of the day, they just want to make stuff.  Creating things that deserve to be seen by the world, be it a sandcastle, a sandwich or even an amazing logo design.
