Your best ideas show up in the shower, not at your desk. 👀

“I’m going to use the bank holiday to work on my passion project.” Translation: I will draw one wobbly line in Procreate, then accidentally spend six hours on Pinterest looking at designer lamps. 👀

Being fully aware that the “quick Zoom” you agreed to at 10am will eat your entire morning, derail your focus, and somehow end with you agreeing to send something “by end of play”… a phrase you hate, because it’s never play and it never ends. 👀

The sound of a Zip drive not mounting is the soundtrack of every '90s design student’s broken heart. 👀

Every creative meet-up WhatsApp group: – 2 people sending memes – 1 person replying ‘😂’ three days later – Someone who never says a word – Endless talk of a meet-up that never actually happens – Someone changing the group name to something silly, then changing it back again – “Message deleted” 👀

The closer the deadline gets, the cleaner our flat becomes. 👀

Graphic designers of a certain age learned colour theory from the ZX Spectrum: 16 colours, all of them slightly wrong. 👀

The three types of client feedback: 1. “Love it” (translation: absolutely hate it) 2. “Nearly there” (translation: nope, not even close) 3. “Just a few tweaks” (translation: total rebrand) 👀

Spotted this Mac 128k and went straight back to 1984. The cool designers wore 501s and Sambas, tuned into Frankie on Radio 1, and stayed up for The Tube on Channel 4. Then spent all week insisting “real design” would never happen on a computer. 👀

You’re not a creative unless you’ve already said “right, let’s crack on” at least three times today already without actually cracking on. 👀

There’s always one Monday email with the subject line ‘Any updates?’ Translation: I don’t remember what I asked for at 4pm on Friday, but I don’t care that you rest at weekends and I still need it immediately. 👀

The day you realise you don’t need their approval is the day you find your power 👀
