1. Is there
anything special that you do to get into a creative mindset?
drink lots of
caffeine - then I browse all the sites I like in firefox - open each site
up in a different tab - then on my other monitor - I create a mockup in
photoshop till it looks like what I want. I can do this for about a week
or two till I get the right idea (takes way to long I think). I like
getting my color-combos for pixel-art sites.
2. Can you see your
finished product before you start it?
mainly I have a
rough idea of what I want - and the end result is usually a lot better
then what I originally wanted.
