1. The Feedback Loop
Why did the designer bring a coffin to the client meeting?
Because they knew their ideas were going to die anyway.
2. The Endless Revisions
How many designers does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. They just keep revising the darkness.
3. The Color Palette
I asked my client for a color palette, and they said, “Make it dark and moody.”
I sent them a black screen. Turns out, they meant something different.
4. The Client’s Vision
Designers have a special gift:
They can turn client nightmares into realities… just before they wake up screaming.
5. The Death of Creativity
What do you call a designer who never gets feedback?
A ghost. Because they’re just wandering the halls of creativity forever.
6. The Lost Concepts
When a client says they want “something different,”
I can’t help but think of all the designs that ended up in the graveyard of forgotten ideas.
7. The Price of Design
Why don’t designers ever play hide and seek?
Because good luck hiding when your work gets priced into oblivion.
8. The Last-Minute Change
When a client asks for a last-minute change:
“Sure, I’ll just summon my inner demon to get it done!”
9. The Ultimate Deadline
The deadline is approaching, and I’m just staring at the screen.
Is it procrastination or just a slow march toward my design funeral?
10. The Final Product
You know you’re a designer when you finish a project and think:
“This is great, but I hope it doesn’t haunt me in my sleep.”
Conclusion
Dark humor can be a fun way to cope with the stresses of design work. Each quip reminds us that while the design process can sometimes feel morbidly absurd, we can always find laughter in the chaos. Just remember, every great design has its demons!
