		<description><![CDATA[Often there&#8217;s this thing – where the graphic designer – feels like shouting, &#8216;I&#8217;M A PROFESSIONAL, I KNOW WHAT I&#8217;M DOING. REALLY.&#8217; It usually arises from the idea that graphic design is a voodoo art that many do not understand. Or they think they do, but only understand a small portion of it.

		<title>How to piss off an introvert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many creatives are introverts – some famous ones include J.K. Rowling, Eleanor Roosevelt, Clint Eastwood, David Letterman, Howard Stern, Steve Martin. The trick is most introverts are annoyed just enough by the banalities of everyday societal demands that one typically doesn&#8217;t want to get bogged down by the bullshit.
