1. Tell us a little about yourself!
I am an aspiring graphic designer studying New Media! I love to create things, whether its art, graphics on Photoshop, videos on Premiere, etc. I particularly enjoy making videos about Eurovision, which is a song competition popular in Europe. In this channel, I rank songs and occasionally create mashups. Check out my YouTube channel here: lowkeyescfan.
2. How did you get started in arts?
To be honest I don't remember specifically when I started arts, but I do remember at a young age I always liked drawing and making art, through playing the piano and doodling.
3. How did you join Artists' Alliance?
I was recommended by a friend to join.
4. How did you get started in the graphic and web design world?
In high school I took a communications technology course, where the Adobe Creative Suite was used, and since then I've fallen in love and found a passion for graphic and web design!
5. What programs do you use?
Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator (sometimes), and on the occasion I create a mashup, I use Audacity.
6. Do you have any tips for beginners?
Watch tutorials!! If you don't know how to use a specific tool, Google is truly your best friend.
7. What's your art process? Do you brainstorm, plan or just jump right into it?
With graphics and art, I usually just jump right into it, but with my videos I tend to plan it out first.
8. Most memorable moment on AA?
A lot of moments to pick from! I think the most memorable was when I was promoted to a staff member to be honest 😂 that was great!
9. Favourite part of AA?
This is gonna sound cliché, but the art! Everyone on this server is so creative and friendly.
10. Favourite prompt/challenge on AA?
I really liked the flag that I made for my city with the flag prompt.
11. Your favourite art thus far?
My favourite art I've made so far is the dolphin mandala I made.
12. Dream job?
Travel blogger - as a child I'd always wanted to be a world traveller.
13. Starbucks or Tim Horton's?
Tough, but I think I'm going with Starbucks 😛
14. If you could only save one of your belongings, what would you choose?
My laptop.
15. Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
I broke my arm twice when I was 6. The first time I'd fallen off the side of a slide after being dared to climb up it, and the second time was when I fell on my arm after playing the floor is lava on a couch.
AA: Thanks for taking the time to do this interview, Jefsea!
