9 annoying things graphic designers do

Not everyone is able to tolerate certain hobbies. Especially when it comes to singular behaviors that threaten our patience to the point of taking it to unsuspected limits. Do you have a designer friend? If so, you will know what I'm talking about.

The truth is that the designer can be weird of c ****. No? Read and try to understand some of these customs that they say are common among our colleagues.

Buy something because it has a nice packaging: Good packaging is an invaluable reason to buy a product. It doesn't matter if you are a graphic designer, single and your mother is experiencing menopause, if you like the packaging of a compress box… you will buy it!

Criticize the restaurant's menu design every time you eat out: You are going to eat with your best friend, you are telling him about your problems. Your boyfriend has left you, you have been fired, you have been run over by a car ... It will not matter the magnitude of your tragedy, he will probably answer you something like «Comic Sans? Seriously?"

Download all the pretty fonts you see: You may not actually use all of them throughout your entire career, and worst of all, you know. Surely there are more fonts on the computer of a graphic designer than in Google Fonts.

Listen to music you've never heard of: Don't feel bad saying you've never heard of Avant Garde, no matter how much your designer friend looks at you as if you've just committed sacrilege.

They make your Instagram photos look like trash: (Most of them are, let's be honest).

Criticize every ad you see: If you thought that their criticism was limited to the poorly laminated letter from the corner joint in your neighborhood, I'm sorry to disappoint you. In fact, it will constantly attack any advertising campaign that it finds within its reach.

It will close your website if it is "old school" although the truth is that surely you ask him to make you a new one in exchange for ... pipes?

He gets angry if he asks for a high resolution photo and you paste it into a Word: This is absolutely normal right?

He prefers well-designed book covers: It sounds absolutely normal, but it stops at the precise moment you decide to do without Veronika Decides to Die or similar because the cover does not transmit good vibrations.
