  5. Nout van Deijck

    I totally agree.
    I love Apple products, Typography, blogs and designbooks!

  6. Mona

    Uh, shouldn’t the title of this list be “Stuff Emo Kids Like?” I think that sounds more appropriate.

  7. Adrian

    I can agree with most of the things, maybe add to number 24 holding multipages for portfolio shots as well. And definitively RSS.

  8. liam

    To be underappreciated :)

    #1 - Apple Products?

    well, this will be my first, and last visit to this site.

  13. Zinni

    adam,

    Regardless of the order, what world are you living in that designers don’t love apple products? We have been Mac fanboy / fangirls since before it was “cool” to own a mac.

    Being a PC lovin’ designer, I still find it funny… because its so true and you know it.

  15. Zinni

    Kelly,

    I have a number of pc’s too. I have decided to make “the switch” with my next computer mostly because my latest computer has Vista and it seems to eat ram like crazy. However I do find it way easier to do web design and development on a PC, so I will always have one. But it is true that designers love macs, I mean how could you even argue that?

  16. Jon

    Zinni… You’re absolutely right. I have been a mac fan long before everybody lost their sh!t and started jumping on the mac train.

  18. Nantucket-Art

    Designers like… lists !!

  19. Suffian

    Funny! My designers all love Radiohead. Even the ones who don’t like Radiohead like Radiohead. If you know what I mean.

  20. Seth

    I thought Threadless merch was over.

    Either way, designers like things to go out of style.

  21. Zinni

    Wow, everyone has given a ton of items that I would agree with, it is pretty funny! I will be updating the list to reflect the additions later tonight, so make sure to get yours in now…

  22. tara

    I totally agree w/ liam’s list…

  23. Garrio harrison

    Of course designers love all those, it’s what design is about, isn’t it?
