Hello /gd/. I have came from a board far away to ask for advice. I have zero experience in graphic design outside of MS paint but a female I have been courting is a professional Graphic Designer. I was wondering if I can bullshit an interest for her to possibly become my gf. Is there any generic stuff I can say to her she would be impressed by? I don't know what i'm really asking but hopefully one of you do.
Also if I need to kill myself then just tell me.
Thank you.
Learn about the design principles and aesthetic qualities. Watch some basic YouTube tutorials. Go on Behance or Dribbble and see if anything stands out to you aesthetically.
But if this doesn't pique your interest at all I'd say don't bother. You can't force interest in a feild you don't care about.
There's a great film called 'Helvetica' that I think everybody can enjoy and find fascinating. It's a documentary about a very famous font and its popularity, but it also is basically a quick intro into Graphic Design. Fantastic soundtrack, and a Graphic Design essential viewing. This girl will probably have seen it so it will be a good conversation point. If not, you can introduce it to her at your place. With pizza. And sex.
you may be able to fake an interest long enough to get into her pants which would make you a manipulative bastard
but can you fake an interest long enough to sustain a relationship (this would make you an extremely manipulative bastard)
...or you could foster a genuine interest in the subject by watching short films, reading blogs etc etc :)
check vimeo, search #typography #handmadetype etc on instagram find the parts of this creative industry that you are genuinley interested in
