    What's your average cost of design per hour?

    I've thought about this several times and I came up with the assessment that it depends on the kind of job you're getting to work. Some jobs will take more hours for you to complete it and if you charge by the hour, it means more pay.

    Do you like playing music when you're working?

    I wouldn't like to be misunderstood about how I feel with playing music when I'm trying to get into graphics designing. On a normal note, I love and enjoy playing music when I want to relax and chill but not when I work.

    What's your favorite image editing software?

    GIMP is very good. Even though it's free, it can be very effective in any kind of image editing task that you want to carry out. It's also very good in image repair and recovery.

    What was the first version of Photoshop you used?

    If I wasn't mistaken, it's going to be Photoshop CS3 that I started out with back in 2007. How time flies, it have been 17 years since I used the CS3. Photoshop have always been a very powerful software throughout the years.

    I've been very specific about the social media sites that I follow because there is so much possibilities when it comes to getting all kind of inspiration and ideas from them with regards to what I intend design. I'm using Pinterest a lot for this need.

    Custom Smileys

    A lot of things contributed to why most people no longer talk about custom smileys. There have been a massive shift in users preference. As a result of this, custom smileys were relegated to the background. Also, the standardization of emojis and how they have been made to be cross-platform...

    Brushes

    The more access you have to many brushes is the more chances you have in picking out the right one for what you need to work on. Having few to work with forces you to lack much creativity in your designing.

    3D icons

    Designing 3D icons isn't easy. You have to get it right with every single aspect of the design to ensure it's perfect in output. I've used mostly Adobe Dimension for creating 3D icons.

    Everything must be in the right proportion with whatever you're work on. It doesn't matter if its the images, fonts, colours and every other things. If anyone of them is off, it's going to affect the final output of the work. Images that are not too excessively heavy improves faster loading...

    Client interference

    I don't like it whenever the client I'm working for decide to interrupt and interfere with the work in progress but unfortunately it's not something I can have a final say in. As long as he's paying for the job, whatever he says is final.

    Digital Painting

    The good old days with using MS Paint can never be forgotten in a haste. I started learning how to design simple logos with using MS Paint back in the days. I also created simple animated GIFs with it too.

    Adobe Photoshop

    Photoshop is like the king of the heard when it comes to graphics design software. Every other software is playing a second fiddle to Photoshop. GIMP is the only alternative that can offer something close to how it feels to use Photoshop.
