1. Go to dinner in a restaurant and critique the design of the menu...
2. Rewind TIVO on commercials to admire the typography of a commercial advertisement...
3. Try to convince your wife, son, friends the and value in watching the documentary "Helvetica" even though they have no desire too..

Those are mine...

I downloaded it, and felt really bad about it because the owners said on Typophile that they where a bit frustrated about the pirates and people who had put it on google video.

For me, sometimes I look at people and picture them in vector form. I look at all kinds of things and plan out how I would vector them.

True
Maybe even more when you not just think it, but truly wish for it to work! XD

You also know you are a graphic designer when you admire the gradients of a sunset

What's wrong with Courier??
I think it's an extremely well designed typeface.
