Interview with Anna Muratova

As a child I always enjoyed creating something new and I made websites as a hobby. However, I bacame designer reletevely recently. While studying in master degree in applied mathematics and computer science in HSE one of the subjects was UI UX, which I really enjoyed. So after that I decided to learn more about design and in parallel with my studies I completed additional education in HSE in graphic design. Also, I listened several online design courses.

My design process starts from structuring all the given information, then sketching different variations and selecting the best one. And after that making it visually attractive. As for the style, I enjoy minimalism and interesting creative ideas.

I always feel inspired when I have new project, especially the process of thinking how can I better implement the idea into design. And looking at finished project always makes me feel happy and excited.

One of the non-design skills that helped me to become a better designer are the ability to structure information and extract from it main things.

I enjoy making promo sites and landing pages overall, because it's like telling a short story, but in a visual way. In the future I want to make interactive websites with animation.

Just enjoy design overall and be passionate about it.

I suggest constantly reading and learning new things about design, studying trends and design news.

In the morning I usually read design news or look at Behance projects. Then when I go to work, frst of all, I look at my tasks for the day and plan what should I do first and what next. At dinner time we usuallly go to play basketball with collegues at the street.

I enjoy reading and learning about design trends from different resources. I think that design trend are good, but you shouldn't always use them, only in projects, where they are suitable.

Good design has an unusual idea, satisfies the customer and is suitable for target audience. Also, when you look at this design you understand that everything fits together perfectly.

I decide that design is ready, when I'm happy with the final result and don't think that anything in it should be changed.

My biggesst design work is promo site for Sony, extrabase on svyaznoy.ru website.

It's hard to pick only one designer, I enjoy different designers works.

Usually I get inspired from nature and also I like to make design while listening to the music.
