You May be a Design Redneck…
By Lois Knight
I am an avid Jeff Foxworthy fan and have been since early in his career when he defined just what a redneck was. I am happy to report; I am a true redneck in good standing. But as a graphic designer I have noticed a few things that some of us do and say that enter us into the arena of the redneck theology that the esteemed Mr. Foxworthy has left out. If you are a design redneck it is time for you to stand up and be counted. I will take the number 1 spot. Here are a few of my observations:
You may be a design redneck…
- If you think a JPEG is a large party kegger.
- If you think websites are where lots of spiders hang out.
- If you think Photoshop is a new form of vocational training.
- If you think a complimentary color scheme is plaids and stripes, you may be a design redneck.
- If you think Clipart is something you cut out of the Sunday funnies, you might be a design redneck.
- You might be a design redneck if you think toner is rubbed on before going outside.
- You may be a design redneck if you think software is your under garments after washing with fabric softener.
- If you think typography is related to the hill behind your house.
- If you think InDesign is a new wave rock band, you might be a design redneck.
- If you think a light bulb moment is when you open the refrigerator door.
- You might be a design redneck if you think advertising is a new way to pick up chicks.
- You might be a design redneck if you think TV Guide qualifies as a reference manual.
- You might be a design redneck if you think copyright is a term from your Hooked on Phonics lessons.
- You might be a design redneck if surfing the web includes the use of soap.
- If you think Gestalt is a blessing in German for sneezing, you might be a design redneck.
- You may be a design redneck if you think AA stands for something besides an Associates degree.
As graphic designers, sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously. Take a moment, lighten up, and smile. You will find the world is a much nicer place when you take time to laugh at yourself once in a while.
