I have a great privilege to interview two of our members of the design team. These are two people make great signatures and many other things to make the website look good.
XGC EMERY: How long have you both you been on the design team?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Since I became a member of XGG.
KoG Cheddar XM: I joined the design team about a couple months after I joined XG, so it's been almost two years now.
XGC EMERY: How did you hear about the design team?
XGG S3NOR1TA: By accident actually. I was just looking around the forums, trying to get familiar with the site when i stumbled across the Multimedia section and decided I'd give it a try.
KoG Cheddar XM: A friend in my old clan, KoG Revolution was a GFX artist, and that's what got me into it.
XGC EMERY: Who recruited you to the design team?
XGG S3NOR1TA: No one really, I applied and I think that it was KoG Cheddar XM who didn't hesitate to ask for a banner.
KoG Cheddar XM: XGC D3SIGN (or that was his name at the time) recruited me into it.
XGC EMERY: What is your favorite thing about the design team?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Being able to do what I love for a community that I have grown to care about a lot.
KoG Cheddar XM: working for the site, I like the sense of pride when you know your work helped better the community.
XGC EMERY: What is your least favorite thing about the design team?
XGG S3NOR1TA: The lack of active members. We need more good designers to fill the hundreds of requests we get every month.
KoG Cheddar XM: THE APPLICANTS!!! Please tell them to be patient!!!
XGC EMERY: What has influenced you the most to do art?
XGG S3NOR1TA: [laughs] All the incoming requests. But seriously, a lot of other designers and their work. I think to myself 'if they can do it, so can I'.
KoG Cheddar XM: To be honest, I'm not sure, my GFX past is very random, but I'd have to say I influenced myself, really....
XGC EMERY: What art do you do outside of XG?
XGG S3NOR1TA: I have my own site called Written4You where i do web design and other types of graphics.
KoG Cheddar XM: I make T-shirts for school, and for my MLG teams.
XGC EMERY: What software do you use to make the amazing signatures we all see?
XGG S3NOR1TA: I use Photoshop CS2, Adobe Image Ready, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, and Jasac Animation Shop 3.
XGC EMERY: Which person has influenced you most in XG for your art work?
XGG S3NOR1TA: That's easy: XGC Maverick XS. He's so supportive of what I do and always gives me an honest answer on whether he likes what I've created or not. I depend on him for that.
KoG Cheddar XM: Probably XGC xVIPERx XI, he's kinda pushed me to do my best and to work hard at all my projects.
XGC EMERY: If there is anyone who has influenced you outside of XG to do art, who would that be?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Again, XGC Maverick XS, our relationship goes much farther than XG.
KoG Cheddar XM: I don't really know, I'm not much of a HUGE artist outside of XG to be honest.
XGC EMERY: What is your favorite thing to design?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Sigs, hands down are my personal fav.
KoG Cheddar XM: I love making banners!!!!!And not those clan banners, I mean the big, 990x150 ones mmmm, makes me happy!
XGC EMERY:What is your favorite color?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Ha. Anyone who knows me knows it's PINK!
KoG Cheddar XM: Take a guess, ORANGE!!!
XGC EMERY: Give an estimate how many signatures have you both done?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Wow. I design sigs for other communities as well so i've done hundreds and every one of those look different.
KoG Cheddar XM: I've done at the most 586 works of graphics, like sigs and banners.
XGC EMERY: Whose signature is your favorite?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Excluding my own...the most recent one i did for XGC Blood Fire. It's amazing.
KoG Cheddar XM: In recent days, I enjoyed making KoG Perfect XS's sig, cause it looks sick nasty!

XGC EMERY: Whose signature did you enjoy making the most?
XGG S3NOR1TA: The one I did for XGC Damnation. All the layers and the colors, I just had fun with it.
KoG Cheddar XM: I choose not to answer that, all signatures are equal!
(Except the really really bad ones....).
XGC EMERY: Whose signature is the funniest?
XGG S3NOR1TA: It's a tie between Hylander's sig feat. the bunny peeps and KoG Cheddar XM's current sig. But I didn't make either of them, I just think they're cute.
KoG Cheddar XM: I'm thinking mine is pretty funny, I like the 'Nip it in the butt' concept...But I don't take time to troll people's sigs, well, at least not this month I haven't.
XGC EMERY: What projects, art work, are you currently working on for XG?
XGG S3NOR1TA: The redesign of the XGG t-shirts.
KoG Cheddar XM: I'm working on Noobfest, Clan Compete banners and new logos, XG Desktop Backgrounds, Clan Compete trailers, and such.
XGC EMERY: What projects, art work, are you working on outside of XG?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Well if I told you that I'd have to kill you. ][smiles]
KoG Cheddar XM: A halo 3 charity tournament for my graduation project, save darfur t-shirts, and something 0 0 7 wanted me to do gfx ise for some of his friends.
XGC EMERY: Did you ever scribble outside the lines?
XGG S3NOR1TA: Nope i'm pretty much perfect. No, i'm just kidding, isn't that the point of scribbling? To go outside the set lines and create your own.
KoG Cheddar XM: Constantly, with KoG Cheddar XM, there will be no lines living under his watch!!!!
KoG Cheddar XM: I'll get you your free sigs (yes free!) sometime soon EMERY
Thank you both for your time. It's been a great pleasure.
