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 Tin Bacic (crowdSPRING username: TinBacicDesign) today. Tin lives and works in Zagreb, Croatia. 1. Please tell us about yourself. My name is Tin Bacic. I was born in a small country called Croatia, somewhere between central and southeastern Europe, with a 5.800 km long beautiful coast and 1.246 islands. I\u2019m currently living and working in its capital Zagreb. I guess some of you, like many others, have never heard of my country and therefore as a designer I\u00b4m trying my best to promote it here on crowdSPRING. As to my work, I have been employed as a full time graphic designer for about 5 years now and my expertise includes brand identity, illustrated logos and print design. Presently I am building up my skills on a daily basis, occasionally gathering some projects from freelance sites. I got fascinated with design back in high school, and this passion continues as I learn more, but more on that topic later on. 2. How did you become interested in design? Even at my early age, I was always drawing something, anywhere and anytime, each day at home or even school. I always managed to find a little free space for some of my original ?piece of art?\u2026so that after so much drawing and painting through primary school, it was only logical for me to enroll in the Secondary School of Fine Arts and Design, Department of Painting. Although my first choice was the Department of Graphic Design, I didn\u2019t manage to get in.\u00a0 Right about that time when I was around fifteen, me and my brothers got our first computer. At first I was mostly just playing games, but after a while I began to study and work on some design programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Freehand. So eventually, as I had designed beginner logos, covers, etc. , I was more and more fond of it, even more than of drawing which, at that time, I liked the most. I think that that was the period when the turning point occurred, namely the time when I decided to be more focused on graphic design rather than drawing and painting, which is still proving to be the right move. At least I think so. 3. Which of your designs are your favorites and why? Each of my designs is special to me in its own way. But for certain, one of my favorites, the one I work with pleasure, is \u201cA Tribute to Flor Kilah. It\u2019s a hip-hop and breakdance festival which is held in early October every year in honor of the former best.."}
