question mark - a little Q and A session ♥ part 1

hello again lovelies!  about a week ago i did a post opening it up to any and all questions that you wanted to ask me.  i received several questions about me and my life in general and a few others that were more blog specific design and HTML related.

i decided to break these questions up a bit.  i will have a few posts that answer your more general questions and i will have a dedicated post to the more technical blog related stuff.

here are some of my responses to your questions....i had so much fun answering these :)

what made you interested in design?
wow this is a great question.  i would say that i first started getting really interested in graphic design when i started college in 2004.  my dad bought me a brand new imac and put all of the adobe software on it.  i started tinkering with photoshop immediately. 

when i began college i majored in advertiseing which then changed to business marketing.  two years ago i made the switch to graphic design and i haven't looked back since.  i definitely found my true love ♥

what was the first project you ever finished?

there have been so many little projects that i have worked on here and there, but my first BIG project was definitely our wedding invitations.  i posted a few images of them here a few weeks back.

where does your inspiration come from?
another great question that i have been asked a few times.  honestly i am sad to say i don't really have a great answer.  ever since childhood i have had a very wild imagination.  my mind is always filled with so many thoughts and ideas.  i'm always looking for new ways to be creative and i think scenic glory has really been a wonderful outlet for me.

i relate a lot of my posts, particularly my inspiration boards to life circumstances.  i have always been a very positive person and i like getting others to think positively about there own life as well.  when your life is a positive there isn't a better place to be.

how did you get so good at blog design?
i have been asked this one a lot throughout the last few months.  i first created scenic glory in july and didn't write my first post until november.  those few months in between i spent learning exactly how blogger worked and educated myself on HTML code.  HTML seems to be the thing that people struggle with most, but i assure you anyone can learn it if i can.  

the actual designing part i do in photoshop and then upload to photobucket and then apply to the blog. the key is knowing the size to design things...you don't want your buttons going into your background and things like that.

what is your next tattoo going to be?
oh i just love this question.  for my new followers and others that may have missed it, my post on my tattoos is here.  okay for new tattoos...i just finished up my owl,flower, peacock feather tattoo, but plan to get more peacock feathers down my arm, probably a half sleeve. 

another tattoo i would like to get in the near future is a skeleton key.  the only reason i haven't gotten it yet is because i'm not exactly sure where i want to put it (any suggestions please leave me a comment!!).  i like the idea of having a skeleton key because they are able to open up any door.  i relate this to being able to open up any closed door in my life.

what has been your favorite post?
oh boy another great one...i really put a lot of thought and dedication (as do all of us!) into each of my posts, but to date my favorite has been the what is scenic glory post.  if you haven't had a chance to see it i'd love for you to check it out here.
