Eye On![]() Interview with CodyOL, September 15th
How did you get into designing? Is it a hobby or do you do it professionally? I originally became interested in designing by joining up to a few resource forums and being intrigued at how amazing their designs looked. I started learning to design when Sith simply helped me learn to create a simple, square H2. From there I applied the knowledge I learned and kept designing. It was mainly the encouraging words of the people viewing my designs that kept me going - if no one had ever commented on my work or just said 'Good job' once in a while, I probably would have stopped a long time ago. I now plan to pursue a career in Graphic Design and hopefully it'll work out. What are your tools of trade when designing and coding? I use Photoshop to design everything, and when coding my most valuable tool is the 'Inspect Element' button when you right click an area in Chrome. It helps let me know what the area is called that I need to edit. How do you get motivated and does it take you a long time to put everything together? I get motivated usually by the perception of being able to create something amazing. It's usually by seeing someone better than me that it encourages me to create something to top my last creation. It takes me about 30 - 40 hours on average to create a print from scratch and then code it. What is your favourite design made by you? Hm, I'd have to say Robo or Cygnus are my favorite themes. Over time I generally grow to dislike my old work. Who are your inspirations and which themes or skins do you love? Sith and Fatal.Cure are my most durable inspirations in the way that they're who I always modeled my work after before they stopped designing. Since they've stopped designing, I have to say that Tom (Symbiote) and Jedi-88 are my biggest sources of inspiration. Here are a few questions to get to know you better! What is your favourite word? Verily - means truthfully/honestly I believe. I don't find many occasions to use it, but its scarcity makes it better. What is your least favourite word? xD - does that count as a word? Well, I heavily dislike that emoticon since I can never seen to pin down what it actually means. What turns you on? Lemonade Popsicles. What turns you off? Religion. What sound do you love? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNrx2jq184 What sound do you hate? WHOOP-WHOOP WEEEEEEE WOOOOO WEEEE WOOOOO - The sound of me getting pulled over. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? Oh God, I'm so turned off right now. D: |
