i came across this 'write up' while bloghopping. its closely related to design students, architecture to be exact. :)
If you are architecture student you've probably experienced:
-the taste of wood glue
-changes in your vocabulary : homework to project, ball to sphere, etc
-you don't understand how somebody can spend less than $20 at the supplies store
-you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?"
-your friends and you don't have the same concept of work "oh, well do it right before class"
-you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends
-you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks
-no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this? or “why don’t you change this here? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok?
-you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week
-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework?
-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink
-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people
-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project
-someone once called you “lazy"? and you wanted them murdered
-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!!
-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model
-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost
-you have the modern mark : a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse
-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?
-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc
-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized
-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom?? “who designed this menu?? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]?
-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one
and and. i have my own.
-we designers, dont talk. we draw.
-we dont read instructions
-khayal alot. but not smoking. to some!
- fashionably late. so if u guys wanna date a designer, make sure u bring something to entertain urself while waiting. ;P
thats all i can think of right now. feel free to add more.
waddya think?? agree? or disagree? :D
