The Tech’s
My husband is a graphic designer, a great career that falls into the category of technical professionals along with engineers, architects, and computer specialists. Within the design world, like many other worlds, there are lots of acronyms that other designers even those in a different company should understand. One great example is the PMS system; if you are a graphic designer you probably know what that is and you’re not disgusted. However, if a graphic designer gave a presentation to a group of non-designers and referenced PMS – “eww” would be spewing out from the audience before the sentence could be finished. For non-designers, the PMS system stands for Pantone Management System or a color matching system. For the majority of the world, PMS has a very different meaning in regards to a certain monthly cycle among females. This is a classic example of how acronyms can ruin a presentation!
