East Coast vs. West Coast: Designers

The stereotypes of East Coasters and West Coasters have been around almost as long as there has been a right and left side of the United States. Folks from the West Coast say East Coasters are uptight, unfriendly, and stressed out. Meanwhile people on the East Coast tend to think of West Coasters as flakey, peaceful, and, maybe, healthier. East Coasters, so the story goes, are more prim, proper, and conservative in their dress—lunch at the country club anyone?—and social attitudes. In stark contrast, West Coasters have a more free-flowing, casual, and hippy-style—don’t forget your Birkenstocks!—and liberal in their beliefs. Really though, is there any merit to these generalizations of the attitudes and behavior of people living on the opposite sides of the country? What about the design industry? This infographic prepared for MightyDeals sees the main differences between the coasts in the design industry. Pretty interesting breakdown of culture, attitudes, work styles and even fashion preferences. So pick a side – are you East Coast or West Coast? via MightyDeals.com
