Ooh, this is cool!
How long have you been making graphics?
I think I started shortly after I joined the forum- so maybe for a little over 4 years? I think everyone's graphics inspired me to join and try to make some of my own.
What photoshop program do you use (Photoshop, Gimp, etc.)?
Photoshop 6. I know, it's old, but it does the job.
What kind of graphics do you like to make?
I make a lot of icons, with the occasional wallpaper. They're pretty much all of various obsessions of mine- movies, musicians, etc. Lately I've been making a lot of song lyric signatures, which is really fun.
What inspires you to make graphics?
It could be a picture that catches my eye that I want to use for a graphic, a new texture I want to try out, or from just scrolling through NW and looking at others' work. Most of the time it's the last one.
winterlife, I use textures on icons pretty often. I don't like to layer them on very much, usually for me one or two do the trick. I don't usually want to make them super noticeable, just a enough to add a little bit of cool lighting or colors to an icon. That's just my preference right now, I go through phases.
