i guess my this particular entry wont relate anything or anybody unless u are a designer or design influenced person like me.
Anyways, while i was researching about inspirations for logotypes, i pondered into http://typophile.com/node/14186 and ive read up an interesting entry about this particular guy who wanna do his research for marketing materials to discover what the most common perceptions are with regards to designers/creatives- aesthetics, dress code (or lack there of), body language, interaction, sleep patterns, attitude toward life, politics, clients, the law, etc... narrowed down to the stereotypes that are most commonly percieved by the public at large. Hence, he quoted designers in these such:
Designers Feel: Superior, Egotistic, Passionate, hate when less creative folks get paid more then themselves, etc...
Designers Desire: Sexual partner to position themselves as letterforms during intercourse-like Eastern Indian’s have The Karma Sutra, etc..
Designers Wear: black turtlenecks, have cool glasses, have tattoos of letterforms instead of names of loved ones....
Designer Think:
???
Seriously, i think this guys is kinda looking for trouble by putting this kinda post in a design forum.
no doubt that many designers responded to this thread.
it's really funny about how the kinda of different designer reacted - either typographers or graphic designers. And after reading them, you actually found out how they've live and etc. i do find some links and relations in some of the designers to me. :)
to think of it, i used to wear black but i dont wear turtle neck ( as i used to be a vry punkish and heavy- metal person but now im vry colourful! still love the same music thou) and have quirky glasses but wear only at home. But ive no choice as i bought the wrong specs. And NO TATTOOS. hahah.. and under the "Designers Desire"- i think is total crap.
try to read up, it's total humour and self-entertaining. eh, i think only designers will appreciates.
XD
btw, i love this part that is posted by a guy in typophile nicked : Character
"In general I would say:
Designer love: beautifull things, to be trendsetters, to be innovative, to talk to fellow-creatives about what they do, to make the world a better and more beautifull place and to get paid while doing that.
Designers hate: stereotypes (unless they can use it for their work), not being understood, financial arguments with the client, rainy days and advertising agencies."
That's all designs-elites !
loves for colours and inspiration ! :)
