Questions sent to Chris
Good Afternoon, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your work? I’m a graphic design student at Leeds Arts Uni and we have been encouraged to talk to other creatives to get more of an idea about life after uni and life as a creative etc.
There’s just 5 questions and I would be really appreciative if you would take your time to answer them for me.
- What made you decide to be freelance and would you recommend going down this route to others?
2. Where do you get your inspiration from and how do you cope with creative blocks?
3. How did you get into illustration and what advice do you have for transitioning from graphic design into more illustrative based work?
4. What got you into writing and illustrating children’s books?
5. If you could give your younger self one key bit of advice what would it be?
Thanks for taking your time to read my message.
Kind Regards
Lucy Gibson
