What is your name?

||Leah

When did you start making graphics?

||Well... the text slaps began about 5 months ago. (For those of you who don't know, text slaps are just taking a picture from google or wherever, then just putting a title and other text on it and calling it a graphic) But, I started with things like blending a layering and manipulation about two months ago.

Why did you start?

||I wanted to enter a writing contest on Wattpad, and I searched 'contest', thinking that there was no other kind. Sure thing, Cover Contests came up first. I just tried one and I was hooked.

Who is your inpiration in graphic designing?

||Well, I'd say definitely other Wattpad graphic designers. This group is a huge one, along with @LeagueofGraphics, @GraphicsInc, @GraphicDreamers, @HouseofGraphics,
etc.

What is your opinion on your own graphics?

||I am proud of a lot of them, and some look pretty nice, I guess. But, I'm truly not as amazing as my fellow designers.

How long does it usually take to make a graphic?

||Well, it totally depends on the graphic, but usually somewhere between half an hour, an hour maybe. The longest I've ever worked on one was probably three or four hours (not in a row. I do have a life aside Wattpad 😂)

If you can supply us with one of your first covers.

||Oh, gosh... it's bad but here you go:

Yes, text slapping in it's purest, as seen above.

[Just for fun] If you could have any power what would it be?

||I've thought about this before, and my answer is constantly swaying, but currently I'm feeling invisibility. Why? Well first off, I could be invisible, and second off... Harry Potter has a cloak of invisibility and that series has taken over my life.

What would you say to those just starting making graphics?

||I'd say two things. Firstly, just keep trying and experimenting, that's the only way you'll learn. You should check out some tips abd tutorials in books by graphic groups, if you're feeling a little lost.
Secondly, get Photoshop! (Mix especially) you'll only be doing yourself a favor. Experiment with blending images, and layering too.
