For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice. We\u2019re very proud to feature Aleksandar Macanovic (crowdSPRING username: awerest) today. Aleksandar\u00a0 lives and works in Novi Sad, Serbia. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hello, my name is Aleksandar Macanovic and this is my 12 questions interview. Got 25 years behind me, born in the city of Novi Sad and stayed there to live and work. My nickname pzwiz is an acronym from a popular cartoon Popeye the sailor, it is from the scene where Olive his girlfriend\u00a0 says to Popeye to use his arm as a propeller and a word for a spinning strike here is \u201czviz\u201d so its \u201cpropeller zviz\u201d or simply pzwiz. I will try to make, this honor to present me and my work to this community, as interesting as it can be, as my country still has not reached full potential, just like me. My experience in design is short, in years I was interested more in music, I even finished music school. After that my wish was to accomplish my goals alone or with some friends. Music was the first big love, creative, next was design. Ten years ago I started working with music and organizing small events. A friend and I are running a small agency for that purpose. 2. How did you become interested in design? Everything started not so long ago when my friend and I had an idea about ethno camp for tourists during our biggest musical festival ( EXIT festival ) in Novi Sad. To present the camp\u2019s countryside and ranch better my job was to do marketing, promotions and get ideas for cultural program and some activity for campers. That was my first time with Illustrator and Photoshop, without much sleep I was clicking around for hours. Logo, poster, flyers, website header, flash banner, complete website in Joomla!, map of camp and a sea of pictures which had to be edited in, for me back then unknown formats ( remember your first time with the software? ). Then it was all new for me, today it takes me much less time,\u00a0 but at that time it was a lot of work. That was the very beginning, the website is down now and camp is long forgotten. Person responsible for introduction of crowd sourcing was my girlfriend, it was again all new to me. She has been actively doing spec work for some time and invited me to join the community."}
