AAA – Laura, red haired, smart, mistress of IWD, well formed, creative – offering herself for a non-paid interview in black and white.

Italian Web Design

First of all a little resume on IWD: it’s an italian blog.
Ok, I’ll add more: it’s an italian community about graphics, tecniques, CSS, lazouts, design and more with contribution of professionals and some more.
What’s more beside other communities? It’s totally made up uf users exchanging information, suggestions and improvements.
For real!
Often seen community devoted to newbies exclusion, filled by people acid and caustic more than hydrocloric acid.
Psssssss! Check out the forum too!

Laura

And some resume about Laura: she’s a girl.
Ok, ok, ok!
She’s a webdesigner, web mistress, forum guru, Nostra Mater of CSS and lotsa things more.
She’s friendly. Didn’t you expected, isn’t it?
Truly friendly!
So please let me introduce you this great interview Laura has been forced to release without any kind of money pass =)

How long have you been a webdesigner, graphic, CSS expert and some more?
Eheh, since 2003, namely when I got my diploma in webdesigning, all the rest came along with time :D

You have a job, take care of several working project, have collabs with some specialized magazines.. your work rocks. Ever thought about a social life?
Ahah I’m aware of that, sometimes my social life gets defect, but, you know, got few close friends and those few are quite enough. Moreover some of my best female friends are living far away and chances to meet are not so many. I promise in this year will have more cinema-nights out :D

Behind your work, what are your interests?
Ready for the list? ehhe first of all I ladore music, especially r&b and pop and rock, then comes the ballet, I’m into it since I was 13 years old and, occasionally, I attend to some hip hop course, ending it lazily after a couple of months. Been practicing tai chi (a great resource for work inspiration and relax), love my dogs, my fiancee, my house, read lotsa fantasy books, telefilms (Lost, The Mentalist, Heroes, Prison Break, Numbers, ma anche Friends, Willl&Grace, Dharma&Greg…), movies (fantasy, scifi, sitcoms, cartoon Pixar&co) and I’d like to start painting again. Oh, as I’m newly moved in a nice zone I’ll be more happy to use my bicycle. Enough?:D

Yep, that’s enough.. it’s getting late =P And when was the time you knew that’s exactly what you wanted to do?
It was when I saw I was able to do it (just put together a couple of tags, who knew there were so much more!! But I made my day!) and then thanks to some friends in Livorno who pay the bills with that.

Some unforeseen events in your carrer?
Great hazards.. rather say no.. my only unforeseen perhaps is this ugly tendinitis popping out at time to time, compelling me to a forced rest to get better.

What about those ugly ugly websites around? You know, I’m talking about those wannabe-webdesigners who think their work has done just by copying a whole website code?
I think sooner or later justice will strike first place.. often customers are forced to get in touch with real professionists by sawing those bed results.

Have you ever made a really ugly ugly ugly website?
A lot ahhaahh at the very beginning evaryone made one or more! Lemme tell you a secret: my very firs website was a fansite tributing Tiziano Ferro hihi and I can assure you it was  shockingly bad, it served as a train btw.

I was searching the net for it.. Swear!
Swearing-sweary-doo :D

Ethic talking: imagine someone paying dozillions money to build up an absymal website, what about?
OMG…well, I’ve been “sold” myself for really less and regret so much, so I say no, won’t build up anything like that. Better try with Lottery ;)

Ah-ha! So you did build up a very ugly ugly wesite? =P
Ahahah this interview is fantastic :D

Projects in the near future?
Several project, the very first one is to quiet up my money, this year’s taxes went on in the wrong moment :(

How about you twenty years forward?
Exhaust, trying to understand my kids teeny blues, saving up by selling my oil paints. I think I’m gonna follow the web for few years.. not too few, don’t worry :D

.. mhm no, I was talking about a family, kids, a garden, a restly house.. you really should get a social life =)
Ahah see, got my mixed right answer:)

Your fave serial?
Right now is Lost!

Imagine you could re-color your fave movie, what kind of palette will it have?
My fave movie is Lord of The Ring, and the used palette is almost fantastic on its own, without corrections, I think it’s superb!

..but I didn’t resist, so created the LOTR palette on Colour Lovers:

Well, I’m quite satisfied with this interview and you?

Oh sure.. thanks Laura, it was a real fun =D

    E.. ehm.. non credo che il tuo obrobrio potrebbe mai essere paragonato al mio primo sito web... sembrava quello di Homer Simpson con il Gesu' ballerino =)
    Scherzi a parte, mi sono divertita, sei un'ottima guest, spero di ripetere la cosa =)
