Interview With Brazilian Artist Fbio Araujo
Fbio Araujo is a Brazilian artist working for an agency in Abu Dhabi. In this interview, Fbio tells us more about his origins as a graphic designer as well as the inspiration behind his beautiful photo manipulations.
QWelcome to Psdtuts+, please introduce yourself. Could you tell us where youre from and how you got started in the field?
My name is Fbio. Im 31 years old and originally from Brazil, although I have been living and working in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates for a month now. I first had a career in logistics but wasnt satisfied with this, so at 28 years old I decided to change careers and become a Graphic Designer. Ive always liked art, especially graffiti when I was younger and this ended up helping me because I went into design with a different vision about colors. Since I started late in the industry, I decided to go against time by digging into Photoshop and trying to stand out in some way to get work. And before I finished college I had already received two job offers.
QWhat was your first experience like using Photoshop? Which techniques did you have the most difficulty conquering?
Ive never taken a Photoshop course because in college you learn just the basics. So I started watching the great work produced by other designers and tried to recreate their styles and technique. I dug through the all tools during my spare time and learned that my greatest difficulty was the anxiety I had wanting to be finished with the art. Over time I learned that the longer I spent on a project and the more details I put into it, the better the outcome.
