Label: Interviews
Due Date: Thursday, 10/1 by 8AM
1. Who is your mentor and where do they work? If their workplace does not reflect their expertise, what makes them an expert?
My current mentor now works at home as a freelance artist, yet completes jobs for Disney. This makes him an expert at what he does because not only does he have the freedom to plan, create, and execute his project from the comfort of his home,but he has the companies trust that has grown over the many years he has worked with them. Graphic designers who now work for a big company who makes a lot of money daily, and has the joy to work at home is the basic answer that he does know what he's doing, and he is doing it right. Think of it as the last quest to beat in a game. Once you overcome that, you have won!
2. What five questions will you ask them about their background
I did way more than five, but the more the merrier right?

- Why graphic design, and why not painting or any other kind of media?

- When did your turning point of wanting to become a graphic designer occur?
