Ramblings of a graphic designer…Saturday morning, my cat, Bailey, snoozing beside me, enjoying my morning coffee…
This past week I attended a seminar geared toward graphic designers….There were a bunch of people in one room with a similar outlook on the world. We see things in images…The line “A picture is worth a thousand words” hits home for us! As a side note, I’ve been told by my daughter that I see the world in a totally different way than most people—I think she wanted to say “normal” people, but she held back. Anyway, I’ve seen it several times when visiting fellow graphic designers…We have a collection of “toys” in our offices…They make us smile. 
People in other professions would not appreciate them. Back to the seminar…The theme was “Secrets Revealed”…and we were all “spies” discovering tips and tricks regarding the Adobe software line. At the end of the event, there were drawings, all tied to the spy theme… I actually won a decoder pen…But what I really wished for was another prize…the nome! Like I said…we graphic designers like our toys. I began to think of the items I’ve collected over the years and would like to share them with you now:
Man on Toilet Tape Dispenser
A VERY LOUD Alarm Clock 
The Squeezy Sumo Wrestler 
The Easy Button 
The Crazy Hair Guy
Halloween Pens
The book of creatures carved out of fruits and vegetables 
And just a funny card…Stickman Striptease
I know ALL you graphic designers out there have some interesting items in your offices as well….Please share! And those of you who don’t have all these “toys”, I bet you wish you did! OK, I’m done with my ramblings…Still wish I’d won the nome…It would have been a nice addition to my collection.
