Some Days.

Some days, I actually enjoy going into work (well, once I get over the waking up early and driving through traffic part). But then there are those days, where I develope an eye twitch and people around me become little annoying mono-toned minions. I mean I pride myself on the fact that since I was young I've always taken a liking to art and design. From the age of 10 I started creating my own cards and banners for family functions all while using that silly little paint program all computers had back then. So, naturally I went to school for design and happily went on my way to become a graphic designer.

THEN .. enter the real world. Why must everyone think they are designers? Or think that it is an easy "fun" job. Maybe today is just one of those days that little things bother me, but the phrase "Make this pretty," brings an added eye roll or eye twitch. Today's comment, however, is "I'm more picky can you make this cover look more 'designy' .. like can the photos be blendy?" What exactly is that supposed to mean?? So now, today is my day to completely turn off my brain and put together a henious piece that I will hide in the shadows for .. just so that I don't have to be associated with it.

The life of a designer. Below is a video a friend sent me, cheered me up a bit. And yes, we do get asked this questions alot.
