I am not a Graphic Designer, but like Tinki, I have (in her words) "bolded (with colour) whatever the artsy side of me agrees with."

1. They are very weird people. (Will it be weird if I don't bold this one because I don't think that I'm at all weird?)

2. There are billions of them in the world, like colors on the screen of your computer.

3. They will analyse conversations in layers. (HAHA. See if you can figure out what that 'HAHA' means.)

4. You will spend the day assembling furniture from IKEA.

5. They drink and eat all kinds of weird crap just because they like the packaging. (We'd BUY weird/mundane stuff too if we like the packaging.)

6. They hate each other.

7. You’ll come out the last out of the movies because you have to see the full list of credits. (Family and friends who aren't in the creative industry have given me pitiful stares and long sighs whenever I do this, which is every single time I catch a movie.)

8. They can't change a light bulb or without making a sketch.

9. They screw up all the tables with their cutters. (And, floors too.)

10. They rather study the paisley pattern on your outfit than listen to what you have to say.

11. They will fill your house with magazines and whatever is out there that has drawings.

12. You never know if it is really an original or a copy. (We're sneaky. And, we're good at it.)

13. They make collages with your photos.

14. They do not know how to add and subtract, they just understand letters. (SAYS WHO?! I've always gotten an A for Maths!)

15. They idolize people who nobody knows and speak of them as if they were their colleagues.

16. They take pictures almost daily and all are cut in weird shapes.

17. They ask your opinion about everything but they do whatever they want. (At the very least, thank us for taking the effort to make you feel included and involved in our decision-making process.)

18. Everything is left justified, right or center unless they arrive late. (What can I say - I am naturally late. That condition has improved of late.)

19. They hate Comic Sans with the same passion they love Helvetica.

20. They use iPhone for everything, because everyone has one.

21. You can not decorate the house without consulting them.

22. They steal street signs.

23. Always carry their hands painted with something.

24. They buy dolls unfinished for them to paint.

25. Everything becomes something other than what it really is: cards as tickets, cards as….

26. When arguing, you will be nicknamed like the OSX spinning wheel (not affectionately)

27. They do not know how to dress without consulting the Pantone book.

28. They hate Excel. (With a vengeance.)

29. They read comics.

30. They want to save the world only with a poster.

31. They will spend the day brainstorming. (And, no one ever gets this. The brilliant ideas that are brought to the table during discussion, they don't JUST HAPPEN. Hours of thought have been put in prior to that.)

32. On vacation they will take you to countries that you do not know exist and have no beach.

33. Museums are their second home.

34. They know more positions than the Kamasutra.

35. They can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design. (Guilty as charged. And most of the time, we don't do it in secret, we say it out loud.)

36. They listen to music you have never heard of.

37. They can't cook a normal dish, they always have to experiment with new ingredients.

38. They read rare books: Stories of children, Semiotics...

39. When you are going to tell you something, everyone has read it in their Facebook and Twitter. (Or, on their blog, if they have one.)

40. They have own iPods before you knew they existed.

41. The orgasm they remember is when they heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia.

42. They have their own shops just for them and there are the most expensive in the city.

43. They want to spend all the money in the Apple Store.

44. You will never understand their gifts.

45. They see ordinary objects and laugh. (HAHAHAHAHA.)

46. You wake up in the middle of the night hearing them screaming “When is the deadline?” (Nah. I've only woken up in the middle of the night to jot down or sketch ideas, or to write.)

47. They see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.

48. They dream of the day nobody will make a single change to their designs. (Hear hear.)

49. They rather pay for a font than for a special birthday gift.

50. They are always sleepy because they work 24/7. (And, it is not because we like to be up at odd hours of the day. Refer to numbers 31 and 46. Or, you can read about it {here}, {here} and {here}.)
