Good Afternoon, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your work? I’m studying graphic design at Leeds Arts Uni and we have been encouraged (by John) 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.
1. 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 block?
3. How did you get into illustration and how have you found working in the ‘real world’ in comparison to uni?
4. Do you have any tips/ advice for getting your name out there?
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
Unfortunately she never replied to me however I did find it interesting looking at her work and history.
