Interview-Auszug
Hey Jared, thanks for taking the time to provide Vectips with an Interview! To start, Could you tell us about your design and illustrating background and what made you become a designer and illustrator?
I never actually went to school for illustration, in fact I never went to school (after high school). I got the boot at a young age so never really had the money for school. Anyway, sob story aside, I’d had an art background from a very young age as most kids and kept with it all through high-school etc. I figured the future of art was headed in the digital direction and I decided to hop on the train. I picked up a copy of CorelDraw way back in the day and went from there. I eventually got to learn Adobe Illustrator and that to this day has remained my tool of choice.
Essentially the motivation was the money in the beginning, and at this point it still to some degree is the money, but there is a lot more to it now. I truly enjoy design and the medium I work with, I just happen to make some money at what I enjoy.
Super Typ! Das ganze Interview und sein Portfolio findet man hier.
