    Dominating colour

    It's usually between colours like blue, red and green that end up being my most dominating color for most of the work that I do. Although, it's very important to point out that what I make my dominant color most times depends on target audience and the impact I want to create with the work.

    Sketching

    Procreate and Corel Painter are the best tools which I have used for my sketching. I find them very useful which is why I don't joke working with them because they have always given me the best.

    What's the best job you've seen AI design?

    AI involvement in graphics designing today is well profound. There are so many things AI can do which makes the life of a graphics designer very easy unlike how difficult it used to be. Today, it's very difficult to sidetrack the use of AI in graphics designing.

    Old photo restoration

    When it comes to restoring old photo in graphics design, you have to know how to repair damage, adjusting colors in the picture and also enhance other details in it to bring it back to life. I've used GIMP for this job which is a good image editing software but I believe that Adobe Photoshop is...

    How many years have you been working on graphics?

    Truly, it's not easy being a graphics designer especially if you want to work at a top level. Your level of commitment and dedication will be top notch because you can be that good as a designer.

    Your first choice

    It's Canva and GIMP that are usually my first graphics design tool because they are the one's which I've been working with for years. I have also used CorelDRAW for my vector graphics before I went on to start working with Adobe Illustrator.

    Adobe Suite

    There are so many tools which Adobe suite offers and they are very effective for most of the things that you want to work on. Take for instance, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, they are too good and are considered the best in the business. GIMP on the other hand is one of the best Linux tool...

    Open source tools

    GIMP is one of the best open-source graphics design Linux tool that I have worked it. Even though that it's a free tool, it's very effective and efficient for most of the things you want to work with it. I wouldn't say it's going to replace the commercial tools but it's going to keep bringing...

    Adobe Illustrator

    CorelDRAW is what I started out with when I dabbled into vector graphics which wasn't bad at all. I used it for a while before I finally switched to using Adobe Illustrator and I believe that the latter is the best for vector graphics.

    Linux and graphics design

    Yes of course, Linux programs are very good for a lot of graphics design jobs that you can work on. There are so many impressive graphic design tools on Linux which many of them are free and open-source. GIMP is a very good example which is used for image editing.

    Canva is too simple

    A graphics design software that's created in order to help make life easier for those who want to use it and work is what some people will turn and start nagging that it's too simple. There's nothing you can do so satisfy human beings. Anyways back on topic, I have used Canav and it's something...

    Do you pay for Canva Pro?

    I haven't paid for Canav Pro because I didn't see any need for me to do so. I use the regular Canva when I was learning and ended up working with GIMP a lot which the open-source software helped me a lot. Maybe in the future, I'll try Canva Pro if I have a need for it.

    The worst program you have used for graphic design?

    Working with any graphics design tools is all about working will what you're comfortable with. Someone who loves using GIMP to work might consider Canva a bad tool and vice versa. As a result of that, I wouldn't call any tool worst but more of what works for someone and what doesn't.

    Apple

    Sadly, I don't use any Apple devices for any of my graphics design work. I know they offer good features for most things you can do with it but unfortunately, I haven't gotten the opportunity to work with any of them.

    SVG animation

    SVGator is the only tool that I have worked with which was very good for SVG animation that doesn't belong to the Adobe family. The reason why I love it so much was because of how user friendly the program was. There's a free and paid plan for SVGator but I used only the free plan.

    Adobe Alternatives

    Affinity Photo, Pixelmator Pro and GIMP are the best alternatives which I have used for Adobe Photoshop. GIMP is free and it's also an open-source software. It can do almost everything you wanted when it comes to designing.

    Canva for professional work

    Canva is one of the best graphics design software I've used for different jobs I've worked on in a professional environment. I started out learning with Canva and it helped me a lot. There are so many templates on Canva which makes working with it so much easy.

    Where do you get inspiration from?

    Pinterest is the best platform that I always visit to get ideas from because there are so many creative things that you can see on that platform. If you know how to tap into them, you will be able to get so many ideas that you can use to do your graphic work.

    Where do you sell your graphics works?

    iStock is the only platform that I've used to sell my graphic design work, even though it was very difficult for me to make my first sale. I am going to check out the other options and see how is it is going to be for me to sell on them.
