Can you introduce yourself to the readers of YooZing? (Short Bio)
Hey YooZing readers, my name is Wilson, male, and I’m a graphic designer 
How did you get into design?
When I was a kid I always liked to draw and I always liked art in general, but I really started getting into design when I found out I could do my own custom music covers with a computer. That is really how it all started.
Can you tell our readers about your design process?
It really depends what I am working on. For logo designs, I do a rough freehand sketch, and once I have the right shapes I open Adobe Illustror, put a layer at the top of the old sketch and just reproduce it in vector style.
For cover designs, I visualize the cover in my head and then gather every pic I think could bring my vision to life and really just work from that.
Which of your projects are you most proud of and why?
Hmmm… very hard question… Oh yeah! I’m real proud of a vector I did of Angel Lola Luv, a.k.a. Lola Monroe.
The final result may not look exactly like her (I mean her face) but the execution, colors, style, look great to me.
And on top of that I think it was my first full vector made from someone’s picture and that makes me even prouder.
What are some of your favorite websites or blogs that you read on a regular basis?
Hmm, I like videogame websites like 1UP.com, I like reading user comments.
I also like forums like slumz.boxden.com just to read random stuff like cd reviews, relationships threads, politics etc…
What designers have inspired you?
Pen And Pixel Graphics (I think they’re AKA studios now).
The covers they made looked mad fake with overdone blinging effects all over the picture, I was laughing at that but at the same time it looked unique and great. I was big fan of them. Those covers made me want to learn Photoshop more and more.
Do you have any big plans coming up in your career?
Hmm, I’d like to become a music producer, but if you meant design carreer, well I’d like to be involved somehow in the production of a videogame, whether it’s just the logo, the cover, or maybe creating characters for it.
Do you have any last words before we leave?
Well thanks for this interview (more promotion for me lol) and good luck to YooZing!
All the best,
Wilson.
