Talk about how well the original iPod packaging is, or how much Comic Sans sucks in class.

You try to teach your three year old the importance of composition and color schemes while she scribbles with her crayons (it doesn't work by the way)

I can absolutely relate to that one--I keep trying to steer my 2-1/2 year old daughter in her scribbles. She's already showing promise--staying inside the lines (for the most part).

Whenever I'm at my desk at night, she climbs on my lap and says "Color Lightning McQueen Race Car", so we go to the Pixar website to the Cars coloring book and she "colors" with my Wacom Pad. Makes me so proud! : )

Haha thats awesome, yeah I think if i had any kids I'd try and get them into some sort of areas of design as well.

OMG my daughter loves to play with the wacom pen! She tells me what colors she wants and really likes fun brushes like the butterflies, birds, and stars. I like to tweak the brush and have it scatter the butterflies ndn such in all different colors.

Awwww so cute!

You know you're a graphic designer when you start saying:

"I'll get the tickets, you get the popkern"

"That used to be my favourite colour, but I now prefer 009ACD"

"Oh my god. Did you see that billboard? Helvetica Neue would have worked so much better with that dress."

"Command-Z! Undo dammit!" immediately after spilling something in the kitchen.

Your fridge becomes your canvas.

It crazy how instinctive undo becomes . . . like when I accidentally sent an e-mail forgetting the attachment last night. "Why can't you bring it back? Whyyyyy?"

Command-Z needs power in more aspects of life. Undo for president!

Very true! I always wish I could use CMD-F when searching for something in the garage

I liked the one with the word "final'. I guess that's the best choice. There's always something that could be retouched, improved etc.That's the fun of designing. You can never finish a design completely... Come to think about it, I used "Final" in one of my designs not to long ago.. Feeling down here
