12 Things All Graphic Designers Know To Be True
Megan Ann Graphic Design

If you are a graphic designer or a graphic design student you will totally understand this infographic!


1. You hate Comic Sans the same way you love Helvetica.

If you use Comic Sans I CAN NOT be friends with you. And when in doubt use Helvectica!


2. You have a passion for communicating with others through powerful images.

This is one of the greatest things about being a artist in general. You get to make art that people could look at to get inspired or become emotional. Art is such a powerful thing, as well as design.


3. You hate excel but love illustrator.

I do not think I could explain my HATRED towards excel. It is so difficult to use and do things! There is too many numbers just give me Illustrator and I will make some graphs. Thank you very much!


4. You can’t go into a restaurant without judging the menu design.

I can not go in to a restaurant without judging the whole restaurant. From logo design, menu design to even the decor. When a restaurant has a nice design sense I feel better about eating there!


5. You spend all day brain storming.

I have spent many days brain storming and sketching for a big project. Sometimes I won't even use any of my ideas because by the next day I hate it already!


6. You dream of the day no one will make changes to your design.

This will never happen! From teachers, to art directors, to your clients everyone will change SOMETHING about your design.


7. You see CMYK and RGB like neo sees the matrix.

No explanation for this.


8. Your beer and wine choices are based on label design.

If I want to try something new I always get really cool beer labeled bottles so I can put them in my collection!


9. You own nothing but Apple products.

I HATE ANDROID SO MUCH!


10. You drink too much caffeine.

There is no such things as too much caffeine. I love my coffee and redbull.


11. Your table is messed up from cutting on them all the time.

My desk has little scratches all over it and at school there are so many scratches on some tables. Especially in the graphic design room.


12. You are always sleepy because you work 24/7.

This is the one I can relate to the most. I could get so much sleep but still feel so tired all day everyday.


If any graphic designers understand let me know! I am always wanting to know who feels the same way as me. Check out my behance at https://www.behance.net/mdusenberry!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
