Jocpoc: a few words about himself.
Jocpoc... In his 16 years that guy has been able to show us that Winamp skinning hasn't died yet. If you think that it's impossible to create something new, while browsing through tons of crap on www.winamp.com, just take a look at his Carbinate 2, Down with time or King agdas skin. Somehow he's able to use a limited format of Winamp 2.X to make something original and impressive. I asked Fredrik to tell us a couple of words about himself...
My full name is Joakim Fredrik Hogberg. I live in central Sweden. Some people think that Sweden is cold and snowy but that is just in the winters. In the summer it's always hot. I am 16 years old and have just started to drive for practice. You see, we get our drivers license by the age of 18 here. I live with my two parents in a boring little suburb of Uppsala, a very nice town. I started out in the graphics scene when I looked at some of my friends, friends websites and thought they were cool as hell. So I started experimenting with websites and graphics. I used programs like Paint Shop Pro, Ulead Photo Impact, Paint and of course Photoshop but it was not until later that Photoshop would become my standard program. And somehow I ended up on winamp.com and downloaded skins like crazy. And from there I came to sites like deaddreamer.com, hl-design.com and many other skin/graphic sites. So I wanted to start skinning on my own and chose winamp as the program to skin. And by now, I threw away all of the other graphic programs and used ONLY Adobe Photoshop. It is the best. No matter what people say. I use version 5.5. I find version 7.0 a little hard to work with. maybe I'll have to go from 5.5 to 7.0 some day. But not for now. I've done some work in 3D studio max and other 3D programs but I quickly grew tired of it. 3D is not my thing. I did some wallpapers before too. That is more fun than 3D but right now I'm concentrating on skinning.
So that's it!
