I feel the same way, and I always tell myself there is potential in scrap materials.

The one detail I do that I wish I didn’t is instead of just cutting out whatever I messed up, I redo the entire thing. Most times I can just use scrap paper and cut the part I messed up but I end up just re cutting the entire thing.

When I’m making an album cover, if this corner isn’t looking pretty, I’ll redo the cover as many times as necessary.

or if there is any visible glue stain I will redo it too

I would have to say “Alignment” when I lay something down it may look off to me however to someone else it looks perfect!

Making sure everything is centered and aligned correctly. From creating the design, making sure everything is aligned perfectly to pressing, making sure the design is centered just right. I’m a perfectionist and can’t help it.

I need to use every space for materials… I don’t like wasting it

I don’t obsess over anything; I obsess over EVERYTHING! Worst of all though is when I’m creating something in Affinity Designer, I’m moving things and adjusting nodes to a thousandth of an inch. I just won’t be satisfied otherwise.

I’m an OCD hostage, I surrender. I don´t want to bore you. I will just show an instance of my working space in Illustrator:

I need everything organized, named, coded… When I add a new layer, I have to give it a magenta colour. I have explained a bit lately on another topic. Magenta helps inspiration, is a well visible colour, it is a primary, not usually in the design, so it is my crutch colour. When it is used in the design or need a secondary support colour, now I’m using L’s blue.

If you enter my computer searching for something, and I’m not at home, I can tell you the path to the something by phone. I don´t desite this to anyone :joy: but at least it is useful.

That’s the other part of the joke I have with my father, which is an activist of the “who cares?!” or “who cares if you can´t see it?!”. I don´t care it is not visible, I know it is there and if it is well done or not :joy: Some times I tell him “I don´t wanna know. Whatever, but I don´t want to see it and know that is there!” :joy:
