I love Conan O’Brien’s sketches with his graphic designer Pierre Bernard entitled “Nerding it up for Pierre”. Not at all due the fact that I totally get the references though. Sad. True. Hilarious. But I thought it would be great to come up with a very short list of characteristics/attributes/likes/desires that would let you know if you are an archetypal web designer or not. This is highly subjective and ridiculous, but this is my blog isn’t it?
How to Know if You Are a True Web Design Nerd
1. Like Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth, you like white space.
2. your mind is always in the gutter {margin-right:15px;}.
3. You read A List Apart, and have made multiple CSS Zen Gardens. That’s uber designer cool.
4. You wish Eric Meyer made a global reset for life.
5. You espouse a belief in the life affirming goodness of Helvetica.
