Yeah, good luck with that.

* Or my closest guess based on the infernal racket coming through the ceiling

1. Practising various track and field sports, including sprinting, hurdling, long jump and shot put
2. Caber tossing
3. WWF wrestling
4. Zumba classes for people with one leg shorter than the other
5. Extreme flat pack furniture assembling and disassembling
6. Parachute training
7. Dropping several bags of sugar from height, followed by 20 minutes of thorough hoovering
8. Shoeing horses
9. Competitive floor gymnastics
10. Inventing a machine for causing strange and unnerving vibrations

I’ve fallen in love with this a bit.

Sigh.  This ad right here sums up the wealth of opportunities for designers in Scotland.

This snippet is from a ‘Graphic Designer’ position currently being advertised in Paisley. No note of either salary or employer, sadly, because clearly this company are at the cutting bleeding edge of graphic design practice.

For those who aren’t design geeks, Quark and Freehand ceased to be ‘emerging’ technologies over 10 years ago. The ad may as well ask for Etch-a-Sketch and Microsoft Paint.

However, it was very helpful of them to point out that ‘most’ design work is done on computer now - saves me the embarrassment of turning up with my A1 cartridge pad and 2B pencils.

My favourite iteration of this so far, I think…available as a limited edition print from http://www.angryblue.com/
