Our Guest
Today our interviews is with Leonardo! With numerous releases to both the ZetaBoards and InvisionFree galleries, he has been a driving force in the recent gallery activity. Now he took some time out to answer a few questions for us.


What motivates you to design and where do you find inspiration?
Just seeing other designs, cars, posters, colours. There are a lot of things I can draw inspiration from, it's great.

Your conversions (for both IF and ZB) have been wonderful additions to the gallery. Between IF and ZB, which software do you find easier to code, and which do you enjoy coding more?
Well it has to be Invisionfree, the software that got me into coding and designing. It is far easier and faster to code than Zetaboards.

What's your passion in life? Is it design, or something else?
Currently I'm studying to become a radiographer so on the other side of the spectrum. Design for me is just a hobby to get away from it all.

Have you ever received a formal education in design? If not, would it be something you would consider to formally train for?
No I have not had any formal education in design, I learn from experimenting and just researching. I don't think I would have the time to be formally trained for this sort of stuff. Radiography and my job takes up most of my time and if not that it's my girlfriend :P

What is your favorite thing to create as far as designing goes?
Definitely Invisionfree Skins. Quick, easy and extremely fun to create.

How big of an impact do you feel designing and ZNR has had on your life, if any?
A significant impact of course. If it weren't for IFSZ, I wouldn't have learnt CSS, HTML and a bits and pieces of other languages.


Alright. On to the fun questions!


Favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon?
I'm a swimming instructor/coach. So I teach kids how to swim. It's quite rewarding.

If you could only bring two things with you on a deserted island, what would they be?
iPod and someone to talk to if I can :P

Name three of your most cherished belongings which are currently in your possession.
Phone, iPod Touch & wallet!

Favorite Photoshop tool?
Shapes tool

Iced tea or iced coffee?
Iced Coffee

Summer or winter?
Summer

Living in the country or living in the city?
Living in the city

Finally... Tu-tu claid sumo-panda bear ballerina, or goth fauxhawk wearing bunny rabbit?
Both sound pretty awesome XD Panda!

Nice to get to know a bit more about you. You are a great positive force on the ZNR team. :) I've really enjoyed seeing the revival you have brought to the InvisionFree skins gallery, and your fresh designs.
