While browsing through design blogs, I came across this humorous list of “25 Reaons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer.”

The ones I thought applied best to me are listed below.

• You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
• You consider meals interruptions.
• You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving. 
• You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
• You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
• When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
• You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
• You’ve actually $paid for a font.
• You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
• You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.

Enjoy!
