Graphic design is one of those things that everybody sees, yet many don’t notice. But as a graphic design student, you can look at a simple poster, sign or label and can only imagine how many hours of manpower rest between images. Here are 24 things all graphic design majors can agree with—ESPECIALLY our hate of Comic Sans:
1. You’re number one fear is your
computer crashing and losing everything.
2. And you cringe when you see people
not saving their projects on an external hard drive.
3. You have a teacher that has taught
you more than all of your other professors combined.
4. And you would kiss the ground they
walk on if it were socially acceptable.
5. You will low key fight someone who
thinks Apple is better than PC.
6. You have spent many a night in
your campus’s computer lab.
7. And have done some
crazy/questionable things after hours.
8. You have a student squad that are your supporters, confidants and critics.
9. And the majority of messages you
send are about what to do when you've hit a wall.
10. Once learned about the glory of
Helvetica, you saw it everywhere.
11. You sometimes just download fonts for fun.
12. And you also agree that finding
the font that finally brings a
project together is nearly orgasmic.
13. The overuse of Comics Sans puts you on your deathbed.
14. And the price of purchasing the
Adobe Creative Cloud Suite nearly put you in an early grave.
15. Your appreciation for good
packaging has increased hundredfold.
16. And GREAT packaging will stop you
dead in your tracks.
17. You mostly buy magazines for their
layout and design inspiration.
18. And you kinda feel like an
annoying
hipster when your art and design tastes are a tad more “advanced” than
the average Joe.
19. But sometimes you just have to
speak up when someone uses Papyrus or Brush Script.
20. You most likely have a high
affinity for stationary.
21. And have a few brands that you
would travel to the ends of the earth for.
22. You follow graphic designers on
social media the way others follow the Kardashian clan.
23. You revel in how big and badass your portfolio
has gotten since your Freshman year.
24. And you have found that your work
gets better as the night gets older.
