I’m not a “real” designer so mine is only a mild case but I certainly suffer from The Design Disease. For one thing there are a number of websites/blogs I’m sure are interesting but they annoy me too much visually to let me read them. Also, a lot of the books I read are well designed because they’re the ones I notice on shelves.

Hee Hee. I hate to say it, but when cleaning out my bookshelf and deciding what to get rid of, I am much more harsh on the ugly / visually uninteresting books (unless it’s a really good read).
That disease pretty much started for me in university (design school does that to you), and rears it’s head in oh so many ways:
I could go on, but you get the picture.
I’m definitely in stage IV of the disease. But as I hate smug designers (though sometimes I appreciate their work ;) )I try not to impose the habits of my disease on others. After all, not everyone sees life through design-coloured glasses!
Hehehe. You’re worse than I am :-p
