An interview this time with the Creative Rudi Setiawan, Indonesia: http://www.pimtim.com/members/30/folio
Rudi, you won 7 projects in the last three months. How did you do that…..

But first could you please tell something about yourself?

I am 31 years old, married to Filza and have a very beautiful daughter named Khaira. I have been working in graphic design since 2003. I studied my degree at Universitas Komputer Indonesia, Bandung. After graduating I worked for some small agencies in advertising and I am now working for a movies-magazine in Indonesia (Cinemags) as senior designer.

I found out that internet offers a fantastic way in dealing with clients from all over the world who need design work. I like the challenges and the opportunities to meet other designers from other countries.


How did you became a designer?

I like to draw and read comic books. These two hobbies inspired me to became a designer.

You won 7 contests in the last couple of months, what is your secret?

My secret is to read the brief carefully and do a thorough analysis to understand the company, its doings and the connection with the name/identity they aspire. Last but not least to, I create designs with my own style ;)

Who or what inspires you?

My daughters is my inspiration.

Do you have design-specialties?
I am specialized in Corporate Identity Design. The reason I that because a Corporate Identity is the frontrunner for every company.

 

Which designs are you most proud of?

I am proud of every piece of my work. And every design has its own a different unique approach when I’m create them. Look at my winning awards in my profile to see this…..

Is there a life next to design?

Sure, it’s always good to have a different life next to design… but in the end it will make your creativity more colourful. 

How does your workspace look like?

My workspace is situated in a corner, next to the bookcase, with some pillows and bolsters. In the end my workspace are the corners of my room :)

What do you do in your freetime?

Spend time with my little family, meet our other relatives and sometime do wrestling with my daughter… hahaha just kidding. 

Thanks Rudi for your time and we wish you lots of success!
