Graphic design is one of those things that, when done right, becomes practically invisible. Think about it: you probably didn't notice the perfect alignment on your favorite website or the seamless composition in a magazine spread, and that's the point! Good graphic design blends in so naturally that it's almost unnoticed—but therein lies the problem. Because it looks so effortless, people assume it is effortless. But every designer knows how much sweat, late-night caffeine, and revisions it takes to get to that level of "invisible perfection."

These memes are for everyone who's ever struggled to choose the right font, to explain to a client why "making it pop" isn't a design principle, or to endure endless rounds of feedback. So to all my fellow designers out there: these memes are for you. Stay strong!
