1-5 and 20-25 :-) sorry for all of them hehehe ā€” šŸ–¤ also iā€™m getting off work I WILL SEND U ANOTHER ASK HEHEHEH
oaiwenfoia youā€™re sooo c*te perhaps iā€™ll d*eā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. hmā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ anyway;; thank you angel (sorry it took me so long to do this ;; ___ ;;)
also this got mad long so iā€™ll put it under a cut!Ā 
1. how did you get into graphics / gif making?
i was an earlyĀ ā€˜the vampsā€™ andĀ ā€˜5sosā€™ fan and because of that, i used to make lil graphic type things?? i guess?? like i tried to make stuff like the ones i saw online omgā€¦ and mine were soooo bad but it was like so fun and i used to use this online editor and it was trash but like i would have so much funā€¦ (and that was back when i was in grade 7-ish..? so i wouldā€™ve been like jfjfiwaoefo 12/13) and then i just kept doing it;; eventually in grade 10 i took a graphic design course and i got a hold of photoshop and it blew my mind and from there i just kept kindaā€¦ doing it??Ā 
and with gifs omgā€¦ ok i swore i would never make gifs cause it looks SO complicated like bitch ill kill u what do u mean layers to frames wtf !!!!!!!!!!!! and then when i was in my first year of uni in around june i was likeā€¦ omg i wanna try againā€¦ cause iā€™d tried it before and my ps just crashedā€¦ so i was like let me give this another go.. and i didā€¦ and it worked.. and my mind was like blown omgā€¦ i was in AWEā€¦ omg i just realized its been a whole year since i learned how to gif stop ill dieĀ 
gfx/gif questions
2. do you do something creative/related ā€œirlā€ as well?
well!! i just got into college for graphic deisgn hehe;; so iā€™m hoping that thatā€™ll be my future :ā€™)Ā 
3. who/what inspires your graphics / gifs?
hm, well!! whenever i see really great pieces of gfx or even in real life when i see a magazine piece or a billboard that just looks stunning i feel inspired!! and iā€™m like eugh i wanna try making smth like that ;; also music and movies and games inspire me sometimes?? but if i was to say who!! then itā€™d probably be all my amazing content creating mutuals!!! their work is always wowing!! i always tag ppls gfx withĀ ā€˜gfx inspoā€™ bc im genuine :0 when i see it ;; ___ ;; like how is everyone so creative and talented;;Ā 
4. what do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?
oh wow, mmā€¦ it allows me to be creative? and put to use skills that i think arenā€™t always appreciated? like my p*rents never take me doing graphic design seriously;; but then recently my mom wanted me to make a lil label for her for a friendā€™s garden and i did and she was like !!!!!! so happy abt it i was like TT TT cause both my parents were finally like ok i get it sorta;; i really like that iā€™m able to make smth kinda outta nothing?? like art is really interesting bc you get to let your thoughts and experiences affect the outcome of your work so?? like.. i like that everyone has a different style??Ā 
and for gifs;; i really enjoy that its such a structured task likeā€¦ its very.. orderly and routine based?? like i know what iā€™m doing everytime?? and the places where i get to change it up are like the colourings and the style of set i make and that makes it fun and creative too;;Ā 
5. what do you dislike most about making graphics / gifs?
mm the creativity block;; i feel like sometimes i cannot think of ANYTHING to make and those days i feel kinda useless as a ccā€¦ā€¦ it sucks but foiawnefiawn eventually iā€™ll figure smth out if i move things around enough fajwefowaeoĀ 
and giffing omgā€¦ā€¦ idkā€¦ probably the colouring processā€¦ā€¦ but thats majorly because my laptopā€™s screen displays colours kinda whack from how they actually look and so i have to do 2x the work to make sure it looks good and smdays its like idc anymore just post the set and pull the triggerĀ 
20. your favourite fandom(s) to make graphics / gifs for?
for gfx itā€™s definitely stray kids!!! they have some of the most fun lyrics to work with and their concepts always always inspire me like crazy!!!Ā 
for gifs its the tmg fandom! everyone in that fandom is suuuper nice and supportive and like;; even if iā€™m not always making gifs i dont feel like iā€™m falling behind or ? like ppl will be mad or smth ? like its a safe small community and bc of that it feels so good ;;;Ā 
21. how much time do you spend on a single graphic / gif?
very dependent! gfx can take from like an hour to like a week+?? it just depends on how intense and intricate it is ig;;Ā 
gifs are shorter;; probably take me a few hours?? the longest a set has taken me is maybe like 6 hours but thatā€™s bc i was being slow about it and trying to find all the necessary parts! but on average itll take abt half an hour to maybe two for one set
21. what is your biggest improvement since you started making graphics and or gifs?
ogoaiweniogaw stop this is so funny.. i wanna go find my old wattpad covers so you can all cringe with me butā€¦ mm, with gfx i guess i learned what my Aestheticā„¢ was and what i really liked and like fjjfaiosdksfd i learned how to use photoshop which is a big thing lmaooooā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ and with gifs!! definitely my quality (shout out to vapoursynth) and my colouring :ā€™)Ā 
23. what is your biggest improvement in the past month?
hmā€¦ time management jfaiweoofiaw iā€™ve definitely gotten wayyy faster at giffing and i really do not take as much time anymore;; which gives me some peace of mind lmaoĀ 
24. what is something that youā€™re wanting to learn right now?
illustrator! iā€™ve been fooling around with it a lot recently;; and even one of the pieces i submitted in my portfolio was smth i made on illustrator heh;; but theres a huge learning curve (like btich what is the pen tool ill kill u) fnaoiefiownf so i wanna get lots better with it ;;Ā 
25. what would you like to see others learn how to do?
this is an interesting question;; mm i guess everyone is different?? so idk if i can answer this question cause i think everyoneā€™s style requires them to learn in their own ways?? so idrk ;; i guess something to make certain peopleā€™s lives easier would be like LEARN KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS !!! that shit saaaves my life like idk man it cuts down on my time for sure;;Ā
