Carlos Felipe de la Torre Is there something wrong with me if three of them kind of describe me? :( :P Sep 9, 2015
Ashley Morton Haha no kidding. Like seriously...I totally don't have a beard. :glare: But the drawing one though...I admit I sketch and brainstorm a lot. :hangs head: I'm sorry for upholding stereotypes, guys. And a lot of the time I actually can fix their computer. :embarassed blank nod: Andddd I'm honestly not even sure whether I'm socially awkward. I mean, I definitely am but for some reason I keep choosing to be social. Which is probably where the awkward part comes in. :more slow nod: But the rest...nope. :best attempt at reassuring smile: Sep 10, 2015
Erin M. At the other end of the spectrum...all designers are free of charge for friends and family :/ Sep 10, 2015
Enk I can least imagine why someone would think so for most of them.. but Designers being socially awkward? Seriously? Sep 14, 2015
subira mombo Hehehe.. think somethings wrong with me... i do tend to sketch alot... abit of an introvert #sociallyawkward.. and tend to like black... Sep 14, 2015
Colleen Seal Maes Hmmm ... I do use a Mac, I love black, I am socially awkward, and I do help co-workers with computer issues when I can. Does this mean my "Designer Card" will be revoked? ;) Sep 15, 2015
Rhoda Fajardo I also wear black. I fix my friends' computers sometimes. However, I don't charge way too much, nor own a mac, nor suck at coding. Sep 15, 2015
Rick Wetzel Almost 25 years ago 99% of design work was done on the MAC. When I retired form the Navy, I had spent the last 8 years doing graphics on the PC (not an easy task). In the real world everyone was using MACs, so I went to school to learn the Apple way. When I graduated from school, my first job was on the PC, surprise! These days 99% of what you used to accomplish on the MAC can be done on the PC and the PC is a lot cheaper than the MAC. And lets face it, like it or not all you MAC heads out there, today's MACs are really PCs running the Apple OS. Sep 21, 2015
Marcella Simeoni I really, for a second, thought I read Joshua Jackson. Yes, I had a problem with Dawson's Creek. Sep 23, 2015
Amy Click draw all day = check use macs = check socially awkward = check But, I wear skinny jeans, utility boots, plaid shirts, hoodies and fitted baseball caps.... it's my uniform. And I CAN code (or at least find errors in bad code!) ;) Oct 31, 2015
Ashley Cee I thought the stereotype was that all designers can code, I have gotten multiple inquiries (sometimes from the same clients), about coding their websites even though it clearly states i don't do that on my website. Nov 30, 2015
Rob Lacy Never heard the socially awkward one...I was always under the impression that being a designer was a "cool" job to most other people. Are we not? Now I don't know what to think. Also I don't use a mac. I hate that stereotype. Jan 7, 2016
Simon Stratford The worse stereotype is people thinking you will work for free. After all, you can whip up a design in no time. Try doing that next time you get your car serviced and see what they say. May 17, 2017
