I was reading the starred comments from our chat room and found them so hilarious I thought I might reproduce them here.
This is what The Ink Spot is talking about (unofficial name for the thread: "S**t Designers Say")
- "I project more confidence in font-identification than I usually do in real life" ...
- "You won't be able to google your own address without landing on this question that's how potent it will be" ...
- "Possible conspiracy: Adobe controls the development of Inkscape and purposefully makes it lousy to promote Illustrator" ...
- "That is how I would do it, whether or not that is the best way is not something you should ask me" ...
- "If Joonas dies do we split his reputation?" ...
- "There's a Paul Valery quote that goes, 'An artist never finishes his work, he merely abandons it'" ...
- "I burnt my onions looking at your font" ...
- "Amazing how far we've come with gummy bear technology" ...
- "I remember my days as a prepress I made the mistake and whispered sweet nothings to the plate maker that wasnt working and my boss saw me.. that was ackwardness for about a week" ...
- "Yeah...people say "good is the enemy of great" but I think perfect is the enemy of either of 'em" ...
- "I know I'm a terrible designer :) I can put into form what you describe. But when I get clients who tell me "Go wild! Design your heart out!" I'm like uuuuhmmmmmmm yeah lemme go hit up Fotolia" ...
- "Anyone ever hear if candle smells actually play a role in productivity?" ...
- "Every design I've ever seen on dribble just looks like pretentious trend following" ...
- "Everyone is part of some stereotype. We can't control that because its the perception of others not our own" ...
- "I powerlift my mouse every day" ...
And my favorite one:
- "Roses will bloom without stop until they kill themselves." ...
