Clarification

By NoReinsGirl

• MicroHell Publisher is not a design tool. It is for hacks who think Comic Sans is cute and blinking links rawk.
• Microsoft Paint.... I will dismiss you from a design conversation when I hear this out of your mouth.
• Show me how to make Adobe Illustrator walk on water and I'm pretty much yours for the taking.
• Adobe Design Standard CS3 is a package much like Microsoft Office is a package.
• Adobe Design Standard is not a program.
• InDesign is far superior to Publisher.
• Do not, under any circumstance, pronounce Apples' operating system - "Aus", it is "Oh-Ess".
• Your dicking around with Photoshop Elements does not make you a Photoshop CS3 expert. Hell, I've used it for 15+ years and I'm *still* not an expert at it. Never will be.
• Telling me the importance of why you are using the same font to create commonality and consistency throughout a presentation is like telling a fish how to swim.
• No, yellow font against a white background is not "cutting edge".
• Neither is "techno" style fonts.
• Keep it simple.
• Keep it clean.
• Don't follow trends. Make them.
• Use smart quotes. Please.
• I am a designer and not a fucking magician.
• Excel is not a format I ever want to see used for a logo. Again.
• Microsoft Word is not a design tool. Neither is Powerpoint.
