Songs About Design @ DesignMinstrel.com

In questo inzio estate, dovremo anche svagarci quando le ventole del nostre Apple iniziano a farsi sentire e la temperatura sale. Magari qualcuno, si aspettava un altro tutorial su Pv3d, ma preso come sono dai molti progetti in corso riesco solo a trovare un attimo di tempo per suggerirvi di fare una visita sul sito di Matt Maxwell…ovvero Design Minstrel, Songs about Design! 

Sei un grafico, un web designer perfezionista che usa solo Mac? Ti piacciono gli spazi bianchi? ogni cosa intorno a te deve essre ordinata? Dai una letta al testo di Design S.N.O.B.

Ecco il link: Design Minstrel – Songs About Design

Design S.N.O.B.
By Matt Maxwell
(Sung to the tune of Fergie “Glamorous”)

Are you still here?...
If you're a web designer you can just go home!
I said If you're a web designer you can just go home!

D-E-S-I-G-N-SN-O-B, yeah D-E-S-I-G-N-SN-O-B

The way I always dress
is all in black
I have a goatee
I'm strictly Mac
I crave the white space
And tiny type
I'm a perfectionist, ooh- so fussy fussy
Legendary, and so-famous
I get published, ooh-regularly
I'm a genius, conceptually
Condescending, ooh - and bossy bossy

I-get obsessed by little things
backwards quote glyphs make me mean
Tracking-and-kerning are-not-the-same-thing
And-if-you-can-remember just one thing
Helvetica is all you need
And if you want to be like me
Just give up, you'll never be
An icon, a-god, a fresh machine
At conferences, they honor me
They even have to pay a fee
Their-memberships fund-the trophy
If only the world were as bright as me
Good design would set them free
Nothing schlocky, no starbursts
And no roy-al-ty-free
One dollar stock photography

I live alone, my
awards on my walls
I have an exotic dog
Named him Saul Bass
I play an instrument
Just to show I'm not
One dimensional, ooh - so many talents
Legendary, so many facets
I get published, ooh-regularly
I'm a genius, conceptually
Condescending, ooh -and bossy bossy

I collect Ray-Gun-magazines, I of-course have all of them.
Rolling Stone back issues, to worship the layout-of-them
A pile thats so high I'll need an new Bauhaus shelf-for-them
I-have every single CA and-have copied from just about from all of them
I have enough-antique-toys in my office to fill-a-gymnasium
My chair costs more than I pay my-assistant in month
She does all the work and I get all the credit.
But she's lucky to be here to learn from me
I know its 2:30am but she CANT GO HOME!

D-E-S-I-G-N-SN-O-B, yeah D-E-S-I-G-N-SN-O-B

I only do print
Not-web design
The Internet
Is a waste of time
Real-design-is Pantone
And offset, oh so glossy glossy
I'm a genius, conceptually
An I'm not obvious, ooh - that would not be me
A perfectionist, so fussy, fussy
Condescending, ooh and bossy, bossy

Negative-feedback I won't hear
My creations I hold dear
When you tell me that I'm wrong
That's when I say, "so long"
You-say-my-hourly-rate's absurd
I won't even hear a word
My time's worth more than gold
Despite my ADD - and I'm old
Guys like me are hard to find
Like a diamond in a mine
Spend ten minutes with me
And you will clearly see
You're inferior to me
All your desire in the world
Won't make-up-for-the-boundless talent
That I alone hold.

The awards told me so
And I gotta know
Because I have won them all
Now you've got to go....
