10 Reasons you might be a hardcore Graphic Designer.

1. You have an amazingly huge collection of fonts, but always use best 25 out of them.
2. You’ve actually paid hell of money to online photo selling website.
3. You’ve deliberately over quoted a design project because you can sniff out a bad client from miles away.
4. You can’t go to a restaurant without criticising their menu design.
5. You see CMYK and RGB like mother sees her baby.
6. You’ve hit your shoulder with a passer by because you were looking at font on a billboard.
7. You can use keyboard shortcuts in CorelDRAW at the speed of light.
8. You were almost there to get extensive grip on "whats new" in latest release of Adobe Photoshop, and arrived the new version.
9. You consider other design jobs an interruption in your favourite project.
10. You’ve given up renaming the folders as “final”.

Complimentary Day Pass

I participated in Shelter’s Newsletter Name Competition a few weeks ago. They decided to keep the name as "Shelter this week" / "Shelter this month" to keep with the simple theme of the newsletter itself.

To show their appreciation for my effort, Shelter has offered a Complimentary Day Pass one can use on next visit to Shelter (valid until the end of January 2010). I am stucked with my office chores. Any one out there who would like to go? Interested folks send me a message? So that i can arrange.

Please note the timings Shelter is open:

Saturday to Thursday: 9am to 10pm
Friday: 4pm to 10pm (cafe closed)

The difference between a Graphic Artist and Designer.

Graphic Artist:
The one who expresses their selves through a medium.

Designer:
A person who devises a particular course of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

I believe those are great designers blended with both dimensions.
