Interview with Collis Ta’eed
First I want to thank Collis Ta’eed for taking the time out of his busy schedule to do an interview for Fuel Your Creativity. Collis travels the world and lives in different countries, most recently Hong Kong, currently Australia, next stop Canada. His design focus is on Web Design & Print Design.
Q. Please tell us more about your art and design background and what made you become an artist and web designer?
A. This is embarrassing but the very first time I used Photoshop was because I wanted a wallpaper with a gorgeous girl on it, and oddly I couldn’t find any I liked. So I asked my flatmate who was in design school and he showed me how to use the pen tool to cut stuff out, and then I was hooked.
A little while later I found DeviantArt and started contributing and talking to people there and got a lot of encouragement to make more stuff. Eventually I thought it would be really cool to do this for a living so I started trying to figure out web design. Though I wanted to be a graphic designer, my flatmate counseled me to at least keep a bit of the computers from my degree in there.

Interview with Designer Graham Smith
30th Jan, 2009. By SahilIt probably won’t come as a surprise for you to learn that Graham Smith’s answer to the question “why do you think you are great” spanned a full (single-spaced) page. His design blog ImJustCreative gets monthly hits well into the 5 figures and it is growing rapidly.
