Any day in the life of a Graphic Designer

Right then. Hope this is interesting. Worry it won't be. Here goes.

For a while now I've been meaning to blog a 'day in the life'. I'm fully aware most of these things are hideous lies (anyone remember the Mark Wnek one for the Sunday Times all those years ago?) and I'm desperate to avoid that. So I'm gonna do two things to try keep it realistic.

1. It will start when I get to work and finish when I leave work.
There will be no mention of my driver, nanny, stylist or the fact that Kate Moss gets the same Hovercraft as me. There will be nothing about me drinking with Winston Churchill in the Groucho. I'll try and make it as boring as I can. Opened Photoshop. Looked at BBC website. Photoshop crashed. Force quit Photoshop. Looked at BBC website. Etc etc.

2. You get to pick the date.
One of the problems with these 'day in the life things' is picking the day. You see my job is quite exciting. Sometimes I might be drinking with Kate Moss and Winston Churchill in the Groucho. So that puts a lot of pressure on the choice of date. Have I picked this date because it makes me sound great etc etc? So to alleviate that I'm gonna let you pick the date. Randomly.

I'm writing this on Thursday 16th November and I've timed it to go live at 01.01AM on the 1st December. The dates I've chosen below are dates that currently (on the 16th November) I have nothing in the diary for. So when I'm writing this, I don't know what I'm going to be doing on that day. Crazy eh? I know, I'm full of bright ideas like that.

The dates are: 4th December, 7th December, 12th December, 13th December or 19th December. The first comment below is the date I'll choose.

Go ahead. Pick my day.

I feel so powerful. It simply must be December 13th.
