For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community – in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly – activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we’ll take notice. We’re very proud to feature Jon Moore (crowdSPRING username: Jabraulter) today. Jon is a student at Purdue University in Indiana. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hey there, I’m Jon Moore. I’m a 19-year-old freshman at Purdue University, nestled cozily in the heart of the Midwest. As it stands, I’m pursuing a double major in computer science and mathematics. I have a mom and a dad, a younger brother and an older sister, a girlfriend, three dogs and three cats. Oh, and the fish. But as far as Puma is concerned (our Ocicat), they’re just dinner. I just recently scored a cool job with the production company on campus, so I’ve been doing a lot of web design and coding. It’s a fun job and “right up my alley” as they say. Whoever they is. Or are. 2. How did you start out as a designer? Well I’ve always been a doodler. If you’re a teacher, you hate my type. You collect the math homework and there are vortexes enveloping the hole-punches and zigzags decorating the entire blue-lined notebook paper. When I was 13, I started experimenting with Photoshop and had a blast teaching myself all the tricks. I took just about every tutorial offered online and did all I could to absorb the glorious capabilities of the program. I stumbled upon the website Worth1000 and saw that they had corporate logo design contests, so I decided to give a few of them a shot. I was unsuccessful in my attempts, but it was a great learning experience. Fast-forward through high school, more Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Maya, and that just about brings you up to the present. 3. You’re a full time college student. What’s your typical day like? I won’t bore you with my full schedule, but basically I’m up at 8 every morning, go to work from 9-11 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, go to some CS classes, do some math, slip in some lunch, go to English, go to work some more, toot my horn in band (I play the French horn, among a slue of other instruments), eat some dinner, waste some more time, then sleep. Rinse and repeat. Oh, and because I’m sure there are some other students on crowdSPRING, I’ll keep it to myself that I’m typically on crowdSPRING during classes. But no worries, I’m expecting A’s. 4. Who/what are some of the biggest influences on your design work? Well I’m one of those young rapscallions that grew up with TVs and computers and those crazy Internets, so I’ve been surrounded with images my whole life. I can’t pinpoint any one..
