They are kind of along the lines of what I see a lot, but exactly the type of thing that draws me to graphic design and inspires me to want to lock myself in a room with Photoshop for three days, though I'm barely at the basics! Thank you for them, and both the artist and PSDTUTS for the interview! I think I fell in love with every design in this post; they were all spectacular to me.

Interesting (to me, at least) - the first three pieces, while visually different, all have almost the same overall composition. The fifth and sixth pieces also follow the same formula but flipped. Is it down to Rik falling back onto what's safe and easy because it's worked before? Or is that where his own signature comes through? Some nice work here from Rik.

Amazing work, no doubt about it. But am I the only one who thinks that while this work is unique..it isn't? I am not trying to be harsh or criticize his work, I thought it is amazing. I'm working my way to be able to do such things and I really want to be able to do it. But seriously speaking and trying to analyze things, I mean, check out the other interviews. It's always the same way to do things. 3d renders, abstract shapes diagonally placed, random (I mean, A LOT OF random things) placed (lines, dots, splats, circles, shapes), Illustrator's blend tool, some stock photo, sometimes outer glow. Oh yes, there are also the ones that use fog to create some texture to get that eye candy effect. What I've seen on the few months that I've been searching for inspiration is that the greatest freelance designers of this generation end up creating different styles, yes, but always end up creating things that are way to similar. I would like to read someone else opinion :) I don’t know if anyone will read this but i would like to have a proper discussion about the subject.
