Q6. Who have you always dreamt of working with/for and why? How would you go about accomplishing this?
I don’t know that there’s anyone in particular that I’ve dreamt of working with but I do get a buzz out of collaborating with others.
Q9. What is the greatest thing about working in the your industry? And what would you change if you had the opportunity?
The ability to work creatively on interesting projects with interesting people. As for what I would change, I don’t really know that I would change anything. I’m pretty happy with how things have worked out so far.
Q10. If you could have asked anyone for advice when you were starting out. Who would you have liked to ask?
What would you have liked to ask?
What would be your answer now?
Q11. From your experience in graphic design, what advice could you offer people looking to get to where you are today?
Only promote the kind of work that you’re proud of and enjoyed creating. Your attract whatever you put out there. I’ve seen quite a few folios in my time that in and amongst some amazing work there’s some pretty average or uninspiring stuff. Quality speaks louder than quantity in my opinion.
Q12. What courses/classes would you recommend someone take if they want to be a professional in graphic design?
I’m a bit out of the loop when it comes to design education so I’m not really in a position to advise.
Q13. How many years were you fighting to get to where you are today? And what was that time in your life like?
The first 3 years we running the mag I remember us taking it in turns to sleep under the layout table while the other one crafted or chased up advertisers, wrote articles etc.. We’d literally be working 18+ hours a day pretty much 7 days a week. it was tough in the way that sleep deprivation can make you a little nutty but at the same time when you’re driven by a passion in something those hours never felt like work.
