Introducing RookerDesigns. Please note, this interview is old, so information may have changed. The cover World Stuff
Where did your nickname come from?
Well Took a lot of brain power to come up with it. Sat down with about 30 people, and we had a 3 day brain storm, and came up with my Last name Plus Productions.) (lol, all kidding aside, I made it long ago when I was editing videos on my computer, Now I go by Rookerdesigns, but just keep Rooker Productions for these forums, since I'm stuck with it
What part of the world do you come from?
A little Town called California.. (Moving to Idaho on Dec 7th though)
What got you into designing covers in the first place?
Lets see if I can remember.. Back in the day when DVD burning was the Thing.. I would make some crappy covers in paintshop pro for the covers I couldn’t find online… (PS, All dvd I ever made copies of are in the trash. I got older, and decided to buy them all.. This good ones that is…)
Is there anyone on the cover making scene that has inspired you?
Who hasn’t.. I started off on DVDcoversFuzion, and Was mainly inspired by SilentWarrior. Then came Sleepyhead, Ulookingatme, Demonology, Jollyroger, Antistatic. And then came here, and a whole bunch of inspiration.. Like Bunnydojo, Bazzah, and kernie82.. Theres so much more too..
What would be your best advice to any up and coming designer?
When you think your done with your cover.. You probably are not.. Take a seat back, and just look at it for awhile… I always like to look at my covers and say. Would I buy this if I saw it in a store.

Hard one… Hmmm, Well I don’t really make labels. But I think I would pick My Kick-a$$ Cover and um.. Well Don’t have a Fav Label
What’s your least favourite cover/label you have made?
All my old covers. My Comic Collection Version 1 and Version 2. Rambo, Fantastic Four 2, Original Dark Knight (version 1 and 2) Damn, theres more… That can’t be good to dislike so many of my own covers.. lol (Least they are all oldies)
What’s your favourite cover that someone else has made?
O man, I love so many.. Kernie82 makes a masterpiece everytime..
