⚔️Fresh design right out of the fortress⚔️

A (Alkali) - What do you call your style

  • T (Typecrips) - At the moment, it is difficult to describe your style, because it does not stand still. I constantly try something different and new, maybe over time it all will fall into one, and there will be something like "beautiful but incomprehensible."

A - Do you consider yourself unique?

  • T - Not. I can consider myself unique when I have projects, which will have no analogues, when there will be a WOW effect, and my work will stand out from strangers.

A - Why do you think that now there is no “WOW” effect from your work?

  • T - I am very self-critical, and I can’t think so until I myself have this. The maximum is "cool"

A - What inspires you

  • T - First of all, my surroundings. I can talk with a person, and when I come home, I start to visualize my emotions. Sometimes music. When I draw some Death Metall, I turn on the fierce metal, and everything goes by itself. Sometimes it helps to look at the work of designers who are cooler than me, and set a goal to become better than them.

A - What did you dream of becoming in childhood?

  • T - A summer of 8 said that I want to become an athlete who is an artist or an artist who is an athlete.

A - What tools / programs do you use?

  • T - It always starts with paper. If it's typography, then I use the Pillot Parallel Pen. And according to the programs it is: Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4d.

A - What would he be if he had not found himself in the work?

  • T -Something related to IT, because I hate physical labor.

A - How do you earn from this and how much?

  • T - Everything always goes through Instagram. They just write guys who like my work and who need a cover design, merchandise, poster, etc. I do not earn much, but thanks to this I bought a macbook for the first two months of freelance. In fact, for me it is more important to develop and learn something new than just money, sometimes I can refuse a project if it is not interesting to me.

A - If there was an opportunity to change something in the past, what would it be?

  • T - I would not waste time on stupid people.

A - Your trend forecast for the near future?

  • T - Everything goes to 3D, more and more interesting 3D things appear, and I think this will not fade away very soon. More games with shapes, textures, and animations.

A - who are your idols in art, who are you leveling up with?

  • T - As there are no such idols, I like to watch everyone, be inspired, catch something, if I like. never equal to anyone, so as not to become a copy of someone. By the way, there was a time when many wrote to me that I was copying guccimaze. it was a shame, but it passed.

A - your favorite artist of all time.

  • T - Pablo Picasso

A - if you were on a desert island which 3 albums with music you would take with you.

  • T - 1.BONES - Powder
    2. went out to smoke - memory
    3.Boulevard Depo - Rapp 2

A - how do you feel about the phrase all creative people are drug addicts?

  • T - no way. I understand why many creative people use it, but I myself avoid it. ideas, inspiration, strength can be obtained without any substances.

A- What is your most interesting job and what’s most hooked on you?

  • T - From the very beginning, everything is interesting, in fact. I especially like serious projects with brands, they know what they want and are willing to pay more.
