3. who/what inspires you to make gifs/graphics?- all the amazing, wonderful, talented people I see creating content on this site! I’m always seeing things and thinking wow I wish I could do that. but also all the supporters who gush in the tags and leave lovely comments motivate me to put out content 💕

35. gif makers, what is your go-to frame delay?- for standard gifs usually .05 or .04. for performance sets that are 60fps I usually do .04 or .03 depending on which I think looks better. it’s really a constant struggle sometimes because I feel like the difference between .05 and .04 is soooo drastic. 

36. graphic makers, how do you get started on a graphic?- hmm I don’t make many graphics but I usually gain inspiration of what I would like to do from seeing other people’s works. I'll think “oh this aspect is nice, what if I incorporated it like this.” and on the rare occasion sometimes a thought will just come to me while listening to a song, watching a video or just going about life. inspiration always strikes at the oddest times!

24. what is something you want to learn right now?- those gifs that people make that look like multiple gifs but are actually one. or when they take a larger gif and separate them into multiple gifs but make them look like one cohesive image. 

37. what do you feel is a must in every gif/graphic?- hmm balance? I like my sets to be balanced both color wise and just overall visually. I think the set should look good cohesively rather than just each gif on its own.

14. colors you like- answered here.

15. colors you dislike- hahahaha.....cyan. cyan-tinted blacks are nooooo. honestly cyan-tinted anything I'm not a fan of (there are rare exceptions though). the cyan has to really work for me to like it. I also don’t really like reddish/orangey browns as a palette. 

21. How much time do you spend making a single gif/graphic?- answered  here.

8. Your favorite graphic / gif created by yourself- ohhh let’s see...I really liked the way this wonpil set turned out; despite the public not liking it is as much as my young k one haha. and if I were to pick a gfx, I have’t done many of those but my latest woosung one turned out much better than I thought it would!

12. Font(s) you like using- for general text sets I like using calibri. when I'm doing some stuff with more typography/styling I like a to use a lot of fonts like calibri, avenir, Khmer Sangam MN in all caps and monospaced. when I want to be fancy I like handwritten fonts like anitto, callie hand and notera.

14. color(s) you like- people who can pull off pastel gifsets have my immense respect. I like shades of blues and greens.

21. How much time do you spend making a single gif/graphic?- this really depends on the complexity of the set. if it’s a compilation set...literal hours sometimes spread over days. matching coloring and finding video sources....the headache is already coming. as a very rough estimate I’ll say an hour per gifset. if it’s a super simple one though with minimal coloring correction it may be more like be 20mins. performance sets also always take me longer than other gifsets. 

22. what is your biggest improvement since you started making graphics/gifs?- answered here!

not at all! I enjoy getting multiple hehe

18. What is your go to adjustment/PSD for coloring?- I don’t use psds since all my colorings vary by set but I certainly have favorite adjustment layers! selective coloring is the real mvp. I also like curves, levels and color balance. 

26. Give a graphic maker and/or gif maker a quick tip!- never feel afraid to experiment! some of my best colorings have been the product of experimentation. also every seems to be afraid of curves, but it’s really so so helpful. I recommend experimenting with it. 

39. What software do you use to make graphics/gifs?- I use photoshop cc 2018

1. How did you get into graphics/gif making- I saw all the lovely people on tumblr providing content and wanted to learn how to make gifs for all my faves as well.

4. What do you enjoy about making graphics/gifs?- I love seeing everyone’s different relations to a gifset! I like reading tags hehe. also the process can be fun too, when I find a coloring I rally wanted, or when a set gets a lot of love. plus it helps capture some of the little moments that can be missed in videos. 

19. Your favorite fandom(s) to see gifs/graphics come from- I'm always happy when a the rose set makes its way onto my dash, those are a rare occurrence lately and I love all you black roses who provide! also the seventeen fandom has a ton of really nice gfx makers, the talent! it goes without saying that I love any content from any of my favorite boys though.

22. What is your biggest improvement since you started making graphics/gifs?- omg quality ahaha. let’s forget those days of porcelain topaz blurring (we stan pores!). my performance sets in general have definitely improved both quality and color wise. I look back on my old ones and shudder....truly a nightmare.
