I spent SO much time in my younger days doing exactly what CountZero and Thorzdad describe that I can’t honestly say I loved my job, but it was a cut above working at a pizza restaurant. I still handle vectors often enough that I don’t want to play a game that involves it!

I’ve done tons of custom typography over the years. Getting the weights, curves and angles flowing right is an amazingly taxing job.

+1 with PaulR here. I used to spend hours in Corel, and later Illustrator drawing logos over scans from originals because either the font was unavailable or it had been drawn up in the first place but no a/w was available. One of the most enjoyable parts of my job back then, prior to training as a scanner operator on a Crosfield drum scanner and photoshop retouching the scans. Damn, I LOVED that job.

Finally, all that time I spent on CorelDraw comes in handy!

Fun game – is there only one set of letters? (not that I’m ungrateful)

Dude, I bought a tablet so I would never have to directly fondle a Bezier curve every again!

Love that game: 91/100 in the first try. I did it again and failed down to a 72/100. ugh.
