What does Google “suggest” about Graphic Designers?
I’ve seen a lot of humorous posts lately about the very random things Google Suggest will come up with when trying to read your mind. So what does Google “suggest” about graphic design related topics? I plugged in some terms for some entertaining, informative, and unintentionally funny results. Enjoy!
The graphics are ugly, but they are straight from the main Google search page, reduced a tad to fit the page.
My personal favorites are:
graphic designers…can’t draw
why designers can’t think
how do graphic designers dress(one pant leg at at time?)
why do designers use helvetica
Under the “why does adobe…” section, notice how there are no “…make such cool stuff” suggestions. You might want to pay a visit to Dear Adobe after reading this.

I love the “Why does photoshop…” example. Says it all, really.
@ Keith: True, true. The Google doesn’t lie 🙂
why do designers wear black? >__<

…cuz it matches helvetica?
So google thinks that designers are all males because they like skinny models? 🙁
@ bydaughters
Google only thinks what people tell it 🙂
