What Designers See Vs. What Everyone Else Sees

Nice! 7 years ago

Designers DO see what others don't, but it's the meta that others wouldn't give a shit about anyway if pointed out to them. 7 years ago

Love this. Especially the one about Photoshop quitting... and the one with the restaurant menu! 7 years ago

Am I the only one that doesn't use a mac? 7 years ago

Also, that Comic Sans / Papyrus combo made my Monday THAT much worse. Thank you for that. A holes . ( ^-^) 7 years ago

I opened my email, and my Monday gift was there - marketing guy emails me saying he loves my work but I should use a "redder red" to an already beautiful bright red headline...really? I almost started chewing tin foil, then I saw this article and made me laugh.. life is good again :) 7 years ago

I'm completely lost on the restaurant menu / fire exit connection... 7 years ago

Took me a moment too Robert; I got stuck on the not quite perfectly tilted plate with everything ligned up on horizontals and verticals... then saw the comic sans, then saw the papyrus... ya, double gross. 7 years ago

I don't see much of that, does that mean I am not a graphic designer? 7 years ago

Photoshop quit unexpectedly!!! too funny and brutally true 7 years ago

LOL! GREAT! I, too, love the PS/cars crashing. That's funny! They all are! I know people see things differently, but, I'm not sure what it is, right or left-brain dominance, whatever. I once saw a series of paintings at a street fair/art festival. Every painting was of some sail boat or another, but, they were all in fog! That can't happen! If you have wind for your sails, there is not any fog. It can't settle in with wind blowing. I noticed that because it is 'impossible', I suppose, and have learned to be 'realistic' with stuff I do, like shading and such. Great READ! 7 years ago

Lovin' this post! And the Comic Sans one? I just experienced that one, to wit: "Can we use Comic Sans? I always liked that font" Cue the fire exit stage right please!!! 7 years ago

The last one, hahaha!! 7 years ago

being 'just' a human that rejects the thought of being just or first and foremost one entity (designer, writer/author, fotographer, coffeelover, artist or whatever) i'd like to add that every person sees the world through his/her passion and therefore always and necessarily sees and adds elements of her/his world to the construction of that same world. i'm remembering this statement of a typographer who said something like "other people look at people, i look at letters". that's what interest and passion do. also i'm thinking of Ludwig Wittgenstein who said "Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt" (> The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.) One could add: that's also the case with interest and passion: the less passion the more you don't see or: less passion less world. that being said: i love this place and it's capability to enrich one's mind (i.e. world). happy working! 7 years ago
