What is your name?

||i'm known as ash on wattpad

When did you start making graphics?

||about six months ago with phonto, and about three months with photoshop

What is your favorite type of graphic to make?

||SIGNATURES RECENTLY. they're banners with multiple images of the same model and i'm obsessed. but covers are also super duper fun.

Where do you get your inspiration?

||DEVIANT ART OML

Why did you start?

||to be able to make nice covers for my own books. i kept seeing those gorgeous covers everywhere and i was tired of making plain ones on wordswag

Who is your inpiration in graphic designing?

||@MulanJiang @LotteHolder @nightgate @descartez @weeknder @-auror @TorissaNikole @shadowsleek @eosophobic @BonitaRogue @jakepatt @RachelS8766 @stardust24601 @Deadrot @deviation- @hypnotists [yup a lot of people]

What is your opinion on your own graphics?

||i'm proud of how far i've come, but i also think i could go a lot further

How long does it usually take to make a graphic?

||mainly about half an hour for simple ones, and two hours for a really good manip [although sometimes i can get it done in a quarter of that time]

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

||nope XD i'm sorry but i deleted them out of shame a while ago. never thought i would need them. but i can describe them. so basically it was a white bg with small back text in the middle and some tiny designs around it sometimes.

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

||does photographic memory count? i think it'd be amazing to just look at something and remember.

What would you say to those just starting making graphics?

||first of all, if you don't get past all of your bad covers, you'll never get to your good ones. ALSO don't start a graphic shop until you're extremely confident in your covers in comparison to others in the same category [vector, manip, simple]
