Interview with Contest Runner-up, Supriya Yenpure
Interview by Darcy Dillon & Katie Lynn Johnston
This week we have the special treat of sharing an interview with one of Mulberry’s runner-ups in our first-ever art contest, the wonderful Supriya Yenpure. Check out her submission and others’ work here.
What was the inspiration behind your logo designs? What drew you to including the face and potion?
The fact that there was no theme was inspiration itself for me. I went through the issues and what the magazine stood for which made me think of a face and potion logo.
The face logo leans towards line-art since it feels personal and artistic. Meanwhile, the potion logo means magic and, with that potion, you can create magical art.
When you’re not creating logos, what kind of art do you like to illustrate? What drew you to illustration and design?
When I am not creating anything, I really love to paint, and I let myself be bad at it. Painting feels like a healing activity. I also do vector-style illustrations. What drew me toward illustration and design is that it can be my world—I can design it any way I want; my own world of illustration, art, and design, where I do not have to pretend to be anything else and simply be me.
Do you have any projects you’re working on that you’re excited about and want to share? Where can our readers find and support more of your work?
I am currently focusing on making logos and expanding my network beyond borders.
Everyone can find my work on @hiraethoe which is my Instagram handle. Everyone can checkout my work there!
