Interviews with designer and blogger Chris Spooner

For those who are not familiar with you closely, thy works, tell us a little about yourself and your blog.
I'm Chris Spooner - designer and author of the blog Blog. SpoonGraphics and Line25. I write about anything related to design educational materials on web design, working with Photoshop and Illustrator.






Recently you nakreativil new design blog Line25. com. Fuck it is you need and how you managed with your blogs?.
My first blog Blog. SpoonGraphics dedicated manual for Illustrator and Photoshop, and I did not want to dilute it yet, and web design themes. So I decided to start a second blog, which focused exclusively on HTML, CSS, jQuery, Wordpress, design trends and inspiration. Line25 yet generates income as wages on Blog. SpoonGraphics allows me to write new posts and lessons.

How much time do you spend writing posts?.
To write the training material takes 4-5 hours. Although it may take the whole day - depends on the nature of the topic. Instructions for creating the site, which includes the development of the concept, the creation of screenshots, followed by a description of the whole process takes a long time.
Weekly inspirational posts, such as collection sites of the week, written quickly - 15-20 minutes is required to overdrink sites, previously stored in bookmarks.




Where the internet is dialed inspiration and learn news of design?.
I read your RSS- selection and go to the links in Twitter.




Sometimes ideas are found in unexpected places, you've got is that?.
I used to stick on the polygraph is offline. The last case, for example, liked the typography used on the poster of the film ... I took it on the iPhone and later used a similar rounded -effects in one of the lessons.




Like your style changed over the years?.
I've heard some people say about some my style, but he is not stuck with this. It all depends on what I have currently attracted and then it can be retro, and the extreme, and so forth.




What do you think is the most difficult in web design and logo design?.
Inventing the concept and compilation of the many drafts of a whole.

What can you advise a beginner freelancers to work with the client?.
I would recommend is not wasted on proposals of your opportunities, and concentrate on one factor that will do the job better. This will probably determine the ultimate goal, rather than digging through the process of stretching and busting.




What do you see the differences in European and American styles of design?.
I think with the advent of the Internet, there is no specific differences. Nowadays, everyone has the opportunity to draw ideas elsewhere.

Tea or coffee?.
Neither one nor the other. A glass of orange soda, please.
