July 10th, 6th issueinterview with...

AMBIVALENTEI'm sure most of you (if not all) know this name. She has been around blogskins.com for a fairly long time (about 9 months, I suppose), and has consistently submitted high quality skins, while remaining original and true to her principles. On top of that, she's a really nice person!! Although her answers are short, they're concise. So enjoy reading this interview!!
1. How about a short intro on yourself first?my name is jasmine
i am fifteen this year
i like art friend @ bras basah
i wanna do visual communication @ tp
2. Why/ How did you start blogskinning?kelly/wind.waltz, who's my schoolmate introduced me to it when i was in sec 1, i spent more than 10 hours on my very first blogskin haha :]
3. How did your current blogskins name 'ambivalente' come about? Is there any special meaning to the name?ambivalent - mixed feelings
it was a random word i found on an online dictionary, and i wanted it to be special so i added an "e"
4. Right from the very beginning, you had a very unique style which some people started to adopt. Do you have any comments concerning this?imitation is the best form of flattery! :]
5. You love photography, huh? You take some pretty awesome photos too. Are you an aspiring photographer?sorta! amateurish but i do love it lots.
6. Is there any kind of photography you especially love? E.g. landscape photos, holga, vintage photos etc.landscape/street/nature :]
7. You seem to prefer simple skins, and rarely do your skins use a lot of brushes. What is your opinion of brushes used in blogskins nowadays, and the term "brush-spamming"?i still feel that brushes are just meant to compliment your skin, but of course there are some really nice "brush-spammed" skins out there, on the whole though, most arent really nice.
8. You recently took a long hiatus (about three months, right?) before coming back. Any particular reason for that?was busy with my domain but i still logged on to blogskins almost everyday :]
9. You are quite a well-known blogskinner now. Do you think that has affected you in any way?nah, why should it?
10. I don't really see you participating much in the forums. Any specific reason for that?im pretty shy, yes, even behind a screen :]
11. Will you ever go for a blogskinners outing?maybe, i dont know, someday perhaps.
12. Do you like the recently implemented changes? E.g. the new profile layout, the friends/enemies thing etcyeah i love it :] the friends and enemies thingy, cause the issue about being red flagged for no reason is gone.
13. How has Blogskins.com changed you?it has helped me improve my photoshopping and coding.
i really appreciate the comments that people gave, they helped me a lot.
14. Any Blogskinning tips?dont take stuff from deviantart without asking permission!

That's all for this issue. I will REALLY TRY to update more often. REALLY.
Elaine
