DESIGN HUMOR

We have a little over a month and a half left in the fall semester. We all have projects due and they  are piling up quickly. Our jobs always seem to demand the most from us when we have the most going on in life. We have a lot on our plate and not enough hours in the day. School + work + homework +life = an exhausted advanced graphic design student.

So...for this week's blog, I thought it would be fun  to post images of design humor to lighten the load! Your task is to find (or create) then post a hilarious flyer, comic strip, poster, statement, e-card, picture, animation, or ANYTHING related to graphic design. Feel free to include a story of your experience with the image. Maybe we can relate to something you post or perhaps we've had a frustrating experience with a statement- the goal is to identify an experience and laugh it off. After all, life's too short :o)

Enjoy!




I've had to post many signs, created by a previous boss, using Comic Sans. Non-designers think it's a cute, friendly font and I agree...but it has no place in a professional environment! This image says it all.



No matter how hard you try to look away, you can't help but return to the poster to mentally fix the errors. They MUST be fixed!

 I've had this happen... a lot. I assume clients know to just attach an image in an email; but apparently not everyone knows how to do that. They think the proper way is to include it in the Word file along with the copy. Who knew?! Now I make sure to tell them to send the original image by itself. The Rock's facial expression in the last srip probably mirrored my own at that moment!

I love your post--fun! I too have had people "attach" images by inserting them in Word files.
