Interviewing: whayever

What is your name?

I'd prefer to be called Lucy.

Examples of your work: 

Why did you join wattpad?

I was reading a fanfiction and it told me that I had to sign it to read it later, so I did.

How long have you been making graphics for?

For about a year now. I started taking requests somewhere around May 2015 or so.

How did you get into graphic designing?

well, I saw videos on YouTube and they all looked like fun, but when I tried downloading the apps and stuff they used [photoshop and such] I had to pay and I couldn't so I started on PicMonkey.com (which is great for something REALLY simple. Don't really recommend using it as a main website tho.)

^^my first ever request. I cannot believe the person is still using this cover^^

What type of graphics do you make, and which do you prefer?

I make covers, gifs/gif banners/gif character cards, manips, banners & icons. But I only take requests for covers now, I might take requests for them in the future. I love making covers and gif stuff, even though I don't take requests, I usually make them for myself and my friends.

What is your favourite part of graphic making?

adding colorings and final textures, etc. i don't know why, i really enjoy seeing how different the graphic would look like if i added something new. also, titles. even though im not really good at it.

How long does it usually take you to make a graphic?

I have a schedule, where I make at least 2 covers a day. And usually takes 4+ hours.

What program(s) do you use for making your graphics?

I used to use Pixlr.com and now I use photoshop cc. I also make the covers on my other account in my phone :P

Where do you get your inspiration from/who inspires you?

Inspiration comes from everywhere for me. Movie posters, other covers, etc. of course, I don't straight up copy them. and probably some youtube videos.

Do you have any tips for aspiring graphic designers?

Start slow and easy, don't go to the big guns if you know what I mean. Use something you feel comfortable with. And never be afraid of putting yourself out there, because the chances are not everyone will use/like your covers as some others do. And never give up, really. Just go for it. c:

excuse me while i try to remember how to breathe
