SO YOU'RE DATING A DESIGNER?

The Australian creative studio Yoke recently released this entertaining series of images to inform individuls exactly what it is they are signing up for by dating a designer. Highlighting both the good and bad, Yoke is undeniably spot-on with this dater's guide and the quirky descriptions only add to the hilarity.

Grab your significant other and get ready for some good laughs. Here are a few favorites...

They are always right. You may think it will be fun to re-decorate your living room with the help of your designer partner, but you’re wrong. It’s not fun. Not unless you are familiar with pantones, rules of aesthetics and tungsten lighting. Forget mixing your Mexicali rug with a French provincial coffee table, it’s just not going to happen. It goes against the theme, babe.

They don’t keep office hours. Some days it may seem like they spend hours sourcing GoT memes and sending you links to puppies falling asleep, while other nights you go to bed alone and are woken at 12 am by cold computer hands. It all comes down to good versus evil clients and deadlines. But you can’t say they aren’t proud of their work, you’d be hard pressed to find a designer willing to hand in something sub-par just to make it home in time for Survivor.

They speak another language. It’s called ‘Adobe’, and you will never understand it.

They freaking love fonts. If your designer is unusually happy today it’s probably because they just stumbled across a bunch of boutique fonts. And they are freaking out. At one stage they may even try to make you watch a documentary on Helvetica. This is normally the point in the relationship where you re-evaluate your life choices.
