Think about your day. Did you have some issues? Did things work out just fine, or did you face-palm a few times because of senseless client requests, infuriating software crashes or even a disheartening creative block<\/a>? We’re willing to bet that you’ve had those moments where your forehead has slapped your desk in frustration on more than one occasion. #Designerproblems are a definitely a thing<\/em> and we’ve all been there.\nThat’s why we wrote up our first #designerproblems post<\/a> back last year, and now, ~365 days later, we’ve got a whole new roundup of 40 more designers complaining about their issues. Having any funny #designerproblems yourself? You might want to tweet it, and maybe we’ll use it next time.\n
