“Designers Humor” Is A Place Online Where Designers Go For A Good Laugh, Here Are 50 Of Their Best Pics
Being a designer can be both fulfilling and tiring, as this work not only requires creativity and imagination but also attention to detail, good communication, and problem-solving skills. People who have chosen this profession (just like any other worker) have their inside jokes and common annoyances that are always interesting and funny to know about, even if you’re not part of the design industry yourself.
In today’s article, we have collected the best memes “by a designer for designers”, as shared by this Twitter page, “Designers humor”. From jokes about payments to the light mockery of ridiculous requests, we believe that these images might brighten up your day and give you a glimpse of the humor within the design community. Are you a designer yourself? Then this post might be very relatable to you. Share your thoughts in the comments, and upvote your favorite memes!

Parship, a dating app, is working in a way like that: all your pictures are blurred by default, YOU decide when the other can see them clearly. This app have some little game (like question/answer, see what you have in common, etc.), you can decide if the "price" of game is unblurred picture.s For i.e: if your match and you have 3/5, then unblurred my pictures... It was cool and funny

I had this idea for a dating app. It's like adult friend finder. But it's for adults to find friends. It's hard to meet people after 40 to just be friends. All my friends are coworkers, and there's stuff you don't discuss with coworkers.

The "conversation" " "DTF?" "Depends, are you into donkeys and exercise balls?" "Do you mean actual donkeys or like donkey punches?" "Both but no fatties. Fatties are gross!" "Okay but I'm a little bit thicc". "That's cool. As long as your donkey isn't fat." "Nah, I keep him skinny so he doesn't pop the exercise balls". "Cool! Where you wanna meet? And... queue the cleared up photo. TLDR: People are going to be who they are regardless of the app. If someone is going to swipe left based solely on your looks then they probably did you a favor.

AOL, Prodigy, and Compuserve allowed for deep conversations (truth or lies, who knows?) without photos. The internet in the day of text only was very different.
“Designers humor” joined Twitter in 2013 and now has more than 995k followers with its Instagram account combined! The page introduces itself as “the largest design meme account on the internet,” and we have no reason to doubt that. As the socials are run by a designer themselves, "Designers humor" has become a beloved source of humor and inspiration for designers and creatives around the world.
Even if you’re not from the design industry yourself, we believe these posts might resonate with you, as they often touch on universal themes and experiences that we all can relate to.

except no actual designer would ever touch word. Ever. not even for word processing, that's called indesign.
3 Owls In A Coat 2 years ago (edited)
Oh no 😅 apparently I am not an “actual designer” then lol, I use InDesign a lot for creating layouts/wireframes but if I just need a word processor to make a text document I absolutely use Word 😅 (or even my iPhone notes app in a pinch lol, it’s technically a word processor in a pinch) InDesign is not actually made or optimized for easy word processing, it’s a layout design application. You can make some really beautiful text layouts with it for sure, and I’ve used it before to design a book page layout, but if you’re just trying to create a nice text document, you’re possibly just making it needlessly complicated by trying to go through ID. (I create all the official sales forms & paperwork for my job and I use Word for that, if you know what you’re doing you can actually make beautiful PDF documents in Word 🙂 plus we Word nerds know how to very easily solve all the normal layout issues that people complain about in these memes with Word (including moving elements without accidentally starting a war in a foreign country! Or messing with image aspect ratios without sirens in the distance!) so it’s honestly a breeze to design documents in for me, in tandem with a touch of photoshop/ai - but it can be a weirdly complicated program and not everyone can use it to the fullest without training - just like InDesign!). (Also to add, I just asked my mentor, and he says he’s never heard of a designer using InDesign for normal word processing, he himself actually writes copy in Word and then brings the text over to InDesign or Ai or Ps.) Every designer is different though so if some of you love using ID as a word processor then please keep rockin it :) but don’t forget the mantra: work smarter, not harder! Using the right tools for the right job will always save you time and effort :) especially in this industry where time is money lol

We believe that every worker has faced some challenges that made them think of their life choices. Looking at these memes, it’s clear that we all experience difficulties, regardless of our profession. The most important thing is that obstacles do not stop us from pursuing our goals and dreams. And in the face of hardships, it always helps to maintain a positive attitude. Additionally, laughing at your problems might also be a good way to let off some steam.

Bored Panda contacted Kristina Leonardi, a holistic career coach, personal growth expert, speaker, and author of Say It To Make It: Affirmations to Empower the Heart, Mind, Spirit and Soul, to gain a deeper understanding about the challenges that people encounter in their workplace and discover effective strategies to overcome them. She shared that it can help to review all the choices that lead people to becoming a designer, for example, and then take some time to analyze the frustrations that they are encountering.
“For instance, is it just client management or the actual designing part, because perhaps there just needs to be some outsourcing of the things that you don’t like or are not good at, or you might be able to use your design skills in another way. As a holistic career coach, when I talk to my clients, I do a whole life/work history and can really connect the dots to see what sparks their passion and why they chose what they chose and if it still makes sense at this point in their life.”

And it's always in that nice red that literally no one has ever wanted in the history of time.
As individuals navigate their careers, it is inevitable to encounter some obstacles along the way. It can be a difficult project or a challenging boss and can significantly affect one’s job satisfaction and general well-being. Some setbacks can be severe enough to prompt an individual to experience burnout or even to leave their job. Kristina Leonardi explained that everyone is on a path of growth and evolution and sometimes a job or career has served its purpose and it’s time to move on; “so pay attention to what life is showing you or how it might be signaling it’s time to do something else. Because by letting go of the old, you could find yourself in a whole other field or world and life that really lights you up. It takes a lot of courage to change and move into the unknown, so folks would rather suffer in the familiar.”

Just saiyan, if you're paying someone for your friggin thumbnail, you better be mr.beast or something. Poor youtubers should learn videography, video editing, sound recording, sound mixing, every social medias algorithms, accounting, and editing thumbnails. As the bare minimum.
In today's fast-paced and demanding work environment, stress can be a common experience for many people in design and other industries. According to Kristina Leonardi, the use of memes can be a great stress relief most of the time. “It shows that people understand your pain and are going through similar things and there is a sense of relief and not feeling so alone in that.” If laughing off your problems doesn’t help, Leonardi shared that it is important to remember to breathe. “Taking time for a few deep breaths every hour can bring you back into your body, lower your stress and allow you to refocus from a more present space. Taking breaks and getting fresh air and short walks are also really helpful, especially for designers who are generally tied to a computer all day.”

Sometimes it is crucial to seek professional help to achieve personal growth. However, some people might hold misconceptions about getting professional assistance to help them navigate workplace challenges. Kristina Leonardi shared that a common misconception would be thinking that changing their job is going to make people happier. “Sometimes that is the case, sometimes it’s not, and sometimes if they leave their job, they are bringing themselves to the next place and the same challenges will be there because they are the common denominator (i.e. same boyfriend, different name), so the change is required within them or in their lifestyle or in other parts of their life, which could often mitigate some of the workplace challenges.”

I created a gif of what the loading bar would look like for their approval and sent them the link to view it. They call me the next day livid because they said it wasn't working. I go and check it and it's working fine so I'm trying to troubleshoot why the gif isn't working, trying to see if it's their browser, etc etc. Nothing. Then, after being called sweetheart by the male client like 30 times and being talked to like I was dumb, his wife lets it slip that she feels like I need to discount the service for the amount of paper they've gone through testing it. I'm like...what? Turns out the gif was fine, they were printing out and didn't understand why it wasn't moving. I'm like...because this isn't Hogwarts. They didn't apologize or even act embarrassed.

The people you’re referring to just don’t know how to use Word properly then :) there’s honestly a really easy solution! A good, experienced designer will definitely know how to make a beautiful PDF in Word :) (🙋♀️)

Not sure what type of file you are referring to, but when this happens to me in word I check that the 'scale under size and position (right click or on picture tab at top) and make sure 'lock aspect ratio' and 'relative to original picture size' are ticked. It prevents warping from minimising/enlarging.

Nope. And it hits even harder when you open it the next day.

if you're doing this, you should go back and re-train. Designing should be about re-iteration, not seeing work as failure.

To be honest, that designer probably photoshopped that JLO photo, that's why they're so tired!

Well, to be completely honest (jealous) she's completely rich, has a personal trainer, personal chef, pro makeup & hair people, a person to buy her clothes, answer her mail, pay her bills, watch her kids, clean her house(s) and probably a dozen other things we "regular folk" don't even realize. I'd look that f*cking good too.

Hot take: f**k helvetica. It's a bland sans serif with no personality. It's better than arial but not by much. (For those wondering, I'm keen on Montserrat and Akira as far as sans fonts go) anyway sorry I have opinion on this stuff and some are a little er, "out there".

HEY. Canva can actually be a good tool. I used to be embarrassed about occasionally using it (so much faster than PS or AI sometimes) until I admitted it to my very-experienced mentor and he said “aw nah I sometimes make my backgrounds in Canva and then bring them into illustrator to finish.” I think new designers think they have to ONLY use super professional complicated tools to be a “real” designer, while actual experienced designers tend to just roll with the “work smarter, not harder” philosophy.

I’m actually, at this very moment, whipping up a quick hiring ad for social media for my work on Canva while I’m also designing a mail flyer in Illustrator :p

I did when I could. The problem was when I couldn't remember what my names meant.

The last time I used canva was less than ten minutes to make a card for my mother's birthday. To my shame, I almost forgot to make a card. My mother was happy and praised how talented I am and I was like uh, umm, yes...😶

My favorite is creating a brilliant, time comsuming (probably gonna win an award) graphic . Then tossing in two 5 minute afterthoughts so they think they have options. And they pick one of the afterthoughts.

Lol, I’m a cake designer and I feel this way often too with clients. I love it when they say they want something “super easy” and it’s a multi tiered wedding cake covered in gumpaste/sugar flowers and intricate details, 10 different flavors and fillings that will take hours and expect it for basically free. They see cake shows on tv where people put cakes together in 30 min and think it’s real life- it’s so easy! Majority of people just don’t have a clue.

If there's anything this has taught me is that I should keep using Not Adobe for my designs for the sake of my own sanity (tbh I don't really feel like I need it, I like the software I use now a lot)

I'd love to get photoshop to use it as a drawing platform but with all the horror stories of it getting basically taken away from people I might as well pirate it..
