| Have you received any awards for your work in the field of design? So far, under this name, we haven't been awarded yet, but we have achieved some other professional levels that we might consider same or even better then getting an award. As individual graphic designers, we've been awarded. |

| To a certain point, is copying justifiable? As an inspiration maybe, but as an final design, it's still stealing. |

| Do you believe the newer generations are better at designing? No, that may be a general fact, but it's not an rule or truth after all. Younger means more ambitious, with all pluses and minuses it gives. |
| With which type of client would you decline in working for? With those who don't have a single idea of what they are looking for. With those who aren't realistic in many ways and with those who don't accept suggestions. |

| If you weren't a designer, what would you be doing? Don't have a single idea. I might quit being designer tomorrow, who knows?! |
| At this moment, what would be your dream job or project? There's nothing like that on the mind, but every job or project with realistic and normal persons is great. |
