As designers ourselves, were always constantly looking for new ones around the community who have either recently joined or don't earn as much recognition as they deserve. For our second interview, we will be interviewing @scrappily

What is your name/user?

Deepa/Scrappily

When did you start making graphics?

I think around August or September of 2016.

What is your inspiration for graphic design?

I think whenever I find an aesthetically pleasing image, I just get an urge to make a cover using that image.

How long does it usually take to make a graphics?

It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours.

If you can supply us with one of your older graphics?

Ugh, this is so ugly but here:

Can you supply us with a recent graphic?

Here's one that I entered in a contest that I'm proud of:

Whats your favorite part of graphics design?

I enjoy finding aesthetically pleasing pictures because I love looking at them, though it can be a pain in the äss sometimes.

What's your biggest pet peeve while designing?

My biggest pet peeve is fonts and text placement because a lot of the times, it's hard finding a good font that fits the cover. And then text placement can be tricky too, because you have to place the text where it's visible but doesn't block the picture either.

What do you find difficult about designing?

Definitely manipulation and blending. That's why I rarely attempt to do those covers because mine always turn out horrendous.

What is one thing you wish you could've learnt before you started making graphics?

Not to go crazy with textures and filters and to make sure to find a good quality image.

What would you say to those just starting graphic design?

To figure out your style. It's important to experiment to figure out which covers you're most comfortable doing, and then to practice on that department.

[just for fun] What power would you want if you could have one?

I'd probably like to read minds. It just seems cool to know what everyone is thinking, and I'd like to know what people think about me lol.
