Top 10 Reasons You know you're a Hardcore Graphic Designer:

- You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
- You?d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend?s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
- You?ve actually $paid for a font.
- You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can?t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
- You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
- When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
- The amount of words you?ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you?ve read in novels.
- You?ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
