A Graphic Designer’s Bag

the contents of Graphic Designer Steve Jordan's Bag

Here's a graphic designer's bag. Look what's there! 

1. 15” MacBook Pro
2. Grado SR80i Headphones – open back lusciousness. I admit to being an audio snob and have too many headphones to admit to, but these are keepers
3. Bron Double Sided VHB Tape – been in the bag for years. Never know when I may need to hang a sign myself
4. Verbatim Retractable 8GB Thumb Drive
5. Sony NEX 3 Camera – Replaced my Canon DSLR with a mirrorless system. Small and easily portable with DSLR quality. This was a bit of a gamble on my part, but no regrets. Big props to my buddy Nguyen, who works for the Sony Camera Division
6. Mont Blanc Starwalker Metal Rubber – I would never spend this much money on a pen. It was a gift from a client
7. Generic Leather Padfolio with graph paper pad
8. Hotel notepad – from one of my projects (swiped from the Conference Room)
9. Sticker from my Barbershop – not sure why this is in here. Probably been in the bag for 3-4 years. Probably will not go back in though…
10. Fluke 414D Laser Distance Meter – I use it more to tease the dog than actual measuring, but when I need it, I need it….
11. Picket Scale Ruler – I am a stickler for keeping it in the case
12. Sticky Note Pad – sample from a paper vendor
13. Business Cards – I spent a fortune on these. Letterpress printed on 220lb, 100% cotton stock… Money well spent.
14. Old Camera case that houses/protects my Magic Mouse on the go.
15. Magic Mouse – call me old-fashioned, but I need a mouse to draw
16. Squeegee – Never know when I may need to install some vinyl graphics myself
17. Multi Tool – Vendor giveaway
18. Red Pen – this same pen seems to have been in my bag for several years
19. Level – Never know when I may need to hang a sign myself
20. 25’ Stanley Tape Measure – at least 20 years old… quality tool
21. EyeBobs Reading Glasses – I practically wear them full-time (I’m over 40)
22. iPad Stylus / Ballpoint Pen Combo - not sure why I keep this, my wife commandeered my iPad 3 years ago
23. Candy Stick – how & where did this come from????
24. Medium Oxide Bronze Material sample
25. Etched Brass Project Sample – was used for locker tags at a spa in San Miguel De Allende
26. Burts Bees Lip Balm – one of about 6 tubes I have scattered around my universe
