I [heart] undo

Originally uploaded to Flickr jkottke.

Jason Kottke has posted this photo from the AIGA Design Conference. It reminds of a friend of mine who had been working 16 hours a day on a big project, sitting in front of her Mac editing in Photoshop.

She came back to her apartment, and had some milk. She was tired and poured lots of milk on the table. Then her left hand flew onto the edge of the table, her thumb pressed down and another finger hitting an imaginary Z key.

It took her several seconds before she realized the the real world doesn’t come with Apple and Z – the undo combination in all Mac software.

Also: If you’re designing stuff, and want this look without using actual tape, Fuse has a font called Tape type, designed by Fuel.

    I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me. I’m an architecture student and after many hours in front of photoshop, illustrator, and Indesign, the keyboard becomes your world. My hands are programmed with the shortcuts. I often find myself staring at something in a store or on the street and walking though the steps it would take to model it in 3-d in my head.
