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 Mircea Constantinescu (crowdSPRING username: mircha69) today. Mircea lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hello everyone, my name is Mircea Constantinescu but you all might know me as “mircha69” here on cS, I was born and raised in Bucharest in a small country known as Romania. I’m almost 26 years old and currently work as a freelance graphic designer with a “major” in logos and brand identity I am fully self taught except for a course I took on Photoshop and Corel Draw but by that time I was already ahead of the class and just did it for the degree. I’m a happy guy with a good life and with the everyday problems that everyone has and with the exception that I can wear my pajamas to work and my boss is a really great guy. 😀 2. How did you become interested in design? The thing is, as a boy, an uncle of mine was into painting and he was drawing a lot and I was always asking him to draw me stuff. So that was a really fun thing for me to watch…  Then over the high school years I filled up notebooks of drawings and caricatures of teachers and all that then it all evolved when I found out about Corel Draw which is still my tool of choice to this day.  I started dabbling with it trying to figure out what I could do with it so one thing lead to another and here I am ! At first I wanted to go into web design but as I went more into it I found that it was not my thing….so I got curios about that little thing in the corner that people called a logo and I first did a couple of logos then I started looking online for them and the people that made them.  After some time I found crowdSPRING and that was it… I was hooked so in that being said I owe 90% of my “career” to crowdSPRING.)  I started submitting until my first win and that sealed the deal. I started submitting more and more designs until other people saw them in my portfolio and I got more jobs outside of cS and follow up work from the cS clients. It was great! and the best thing about it is that I love it! 3. Which of your designs are your favorites and why? Well, I like all of my work more or less but I really like how the work I did for Ski-Doo came out – not the logo..
