Our Guest
Today, our guest is Pandorasaurus, who is known on here for his Christmas theme, as well as helping in the graphics request section. So with that, here's the interview!


How you get into graphics?
As usual, I came to ZNR for resources for my board. I wanted to make custom themes for the board though, so I started making graphics to try to make a theme good enough for the board.

Do you enjoy doing graphics and theming?
Haha yeah, mostly in a nerdy kind of way But there's also that enjoyment of improving your graphic and coding.

Do you have any formal training in coding/web designing/graphics?
No, unless you count forums as formal.

As a graphic designer, what do you think should be considered "good?"
Making everything look together. A good theme has to be easy on the eyes with the right contrast.

Where do you get your inspiration on themes?
Often my theme inspirations come from websites, other themes or any inspiring graphic. After 1 or 2 elements themed after the inspiration, I try to be as original as possible. Although some of my themes are quite literal interpretations.

If you can give some advice to a new graphics person, what would you give them?
Keep persevering at graphics, never think you're hopeless. I think this topic sums up everything you need to know.

Fun ones:
Do you play games?
Only free games

What else do you do besides foruming?
Plots to take over the world

Favorite Color?
Red.

Favorite Time of Day?
Evening. Mornings suck.

Anything else that you would like to state?
I like cookies.

Pando, you've been a steady voice on ZNR for quite some time now. It's been fun to watch you progress in your graphic and design skills. I admire your persistence---even though you've been challenged and gotten some harsh criticisms along the way, you just press on and keep improving.

I think one of your best submissions is the deviantArt inspired one. It has a real smoothness and balance.
