Dear designers, we feel you. We’d buy you a drink, or some takeout, or some lunch if we could. You do so much to make everything look and communicate a little bit more cooler. Only you folks can combine that perfect hue and that perfect type (not font!) with the right kerning and weight, and put them all together in one perfect layout and package to make the design gods weep sweet tears of ambrosia.
Sadly, a lot of people don’t seem to appreciate all hat hard work you put in. And oh no. The Clients.
That’s why #DesignerProblems is a thing, and one we wholeheartedly welcome. Heed ye well, future clients; let these tweets serve as your Do’s and Don’ts.
Because you never know when you’ll need one.
Things I get asked at work: "Do we have a picture of the Hamburglar?"#DesignerProblems

Multitasking is your life.
In a perfect world, the cmd would be the same to "place" an image in both @Illustrator and in @InDesign

If only we could bill the client for the chiropractor sessions, too.
I've begun to accept the fact that my profession will eventually lead to partial blindness and a hunch back. #designerproblems

I think I designed flyers in my dreams last night… A designer's work is never done. #designerproblems #designdreams #graphicdesign

Adobe should add an educational feature where using the Magic Wand causes Photoshop to crash. Oh wait, it already does. #designerproblems

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?
After I spend all day editing photos, when I look around I feel like I can edit things with my hands in real life. #designerproblems

Aaah CreativeCloud. We meet again.

“Hunger? What’s that? Oh, right, it’s that hell in my belly I’ve been supressing for the past three hours with my 15th cup of coffee, NBD.”
Being a designer is mostly convincing yourself you can get one more thing done before you have lunch. #graphicdesign #designerproblems

“That kerning! That weight! It’s a thing of beauty!” *Cries staring at the sunset*
Sometimes I get emotional over fonts #designerproblems

When your wallet cries for a very good reason.
Must resist all urges to buy 100 fonts and 100 texture and brush packs. #designerproblems

And oh, clients.
#designerproblems I envy mathematicians. When they say 2+2 equals 4, I'm sure their clients don't say, "I think it looks better if 2+2=5".

AHAHAHAHAH No.

Oh, I’ll give you “miserable”, alright.

It. Just. Doesn’t. Work, That. Way.
Company asks for a playful, socialmedia-esque design and than changes everything to greyscale. #designerproblems pic.twitter.com/heukLRl3ok

Cry into your wasabi.
That intense regret when you start eating at a restaurant and realize that the menu cover is in Comic Sans.#designerproblems #typography

At the end of the day, you can take comfort in your kids colorful things, too.
You know you're a designer when… you have to arrange your daughter bath toys in colour order! #designerproblems pic.twitter.com/pzwP4hnjXL
