You know you're a Web designer if...
Monday October 27, 2008
Admit it, how many of these scenarios apply to you? My husband would add "if you watched the movie 'Helvetica' with great interest, then you're a Web designer." He started watching it with me, but finally walked out in disgust muttering something about movies about font faces just being wrong. I was wishing IE6 would go extinct like 2 years before it came out! And I yelled at my mom when she wasn't going to download Firefox to her new computer. I also successfully convinced my father in law to switch to Mac (haven't convinced my mom yet... but I'm working on it). When I was using vi to write all my HTML, I constantly found :wq in my Word documents. And now I get frustrated when my spreadsheet doesn't come with design view.

*lol* Shocking but true - there are quite many of these scenarios that apply to me Oo
Once, I was cleaning my bathroom and dropped a bottle of nail polish onto the floor. Red stains everywhere… Ctrl+Z was the first thing that came to my mind.
Another time a friend (on-air designer at a tv studio) and I wanted to meet at a café we did not recall the name of - but we both knew that it was written in Arnold Boecklin. So it was no problem at all meeting there
I’m a PC person myself but I have also strongly encouraged others to use Firefox or a non IE browser, even though Firefox is my browser of choice now I have to say it’s nice to see IE starting to clean up it’s act.
To add my two cents, I would say you know you’re a web designer if you often view page source.
Interesting article
