So I had plenty of spare time and decided to waste it all in sillyness.
Today’s piece of madness is about a serial kill-interview that I’m gonna build for Italian Web Design, to famous (or better, notorius – cit. Val Kilmer aka Iceman in Top Gun) duckies of the webdesign ambiance.

So thumbs up for Elena Gargiulo, sister of Laura, a girl who have decided to follow her sister’s footprints and devote herself to webdesign. She’s smart, great knowledge and a great aestethic sense of colors. To her you can stitck Inspiration in a Box and, clearly, Helenchan.it her angle of tag.

Elena

So, after this flattering, better get to work and start the interview; that’s the reason why they pay me.. rather.. they don’t pay me =)

Welcome you are, have a seat.. Oh no, not on the chair, there’s a nice unsafe stool. You’re a fan of Orient lifestyle, that’s ok for you, isn’t it? =)
Right, I can get it, but wait! I’ll take a seat on the floor itself then :)

So, where does your nickname comes from? A war trophy just to have shot a Pokemon?
Ahahaahahaha no, nothing about it! I hate Pokemon :)
As I’m a fan of Orient I just added a Japanese suffix to my english name. Chan, as you know, it’s a term of endearment used between guys and gals. There’s also -Sanetc etc.. won’t take any Japanese lesson ehehhe

Fine.. I’m late.. And what do you do in life? What’s your job?
Have this kind of luck melting my passion for graphics with a real job. I’m a freelance webdesigner.

No, really.. how do you pay the bills? =)
I second my answer: I’m a webdesigner ehehe
Right now I can pay the bills, even ’cause I’m still living with my parents, so have not actually  money -outs (but I’m planning to get a house on my own soon.. I hope)

You got a match in DNA, then.. your mother should pay more attention to what she eats while expecting. Are you in a kind of competition with Laura?
Aahha true, who know what she was eating! Fun part is our mother is totally out with technology.. strange, mh?
A competition with Laura? Noo, we work together most of the time. Lauryn and Helenchan: a winning team! :P (seem a political commercial.. sorry eheheh)

More than commercial seems a menace =)
A step ahed: Helencin-ciun-cian design is a birth by you. Even inspirationinabox.. think you’re gonna go on?
That’s a menace ahahaha

Copying my humor? Btw, go on..
Well, for sure, I hope I’ll be able to go on and on, growing myself together. The more you have visibility the more you have customers, that’s designers world :) Maybe I’m gonna open a web agency with my sister, how knows.

What’s the worst commercial you’ve ever seen? (I still remember the silly one of the Limoncè commercial, he opens the fridge and stands silly as a dead dog can be watching an emptz bottle)
Omg, I didn’t recall it ahahha
In all these years there so many, all original and nice. Actually I can only think about a commercial of a phone operator with some guys playing in a band.. not a commercial, it’s a soap operaaaa.

Laughing about, if you should ever direct any commercial what will be the main product?
Great question! Never tought about it. Maybe an original clothing line, travels, Apple computers, a new music cd..

We all know designers are classified in: lazy and scoundrel. What’s yours?
Ahaha who said that?

Ehi, my turn to post questions! And, btw, it’s a dogma, everyone knows =)
You can find some of them all around. People pretending to be webdesigners in a couple of minutes. I think I’m not classified; just doing my work fine and offer a good service. But.. in my private life I’m a it lazy ehehhe

Like to travel? Which are the places you like best?
I love to travel, I’d like to see as many places as I can (Mr. Money.. :P)
I’m back from a marvellous trip to Ischia and I think I should come again. Places I like best.. so many. There’s London, wanted to get back to Athens (I adore classic arts) and then go eastern, Kyoto for example, which is the source of Japanese tradition.

You know in China they need workers? Got your curriculum ready! =)
Ehm no, stepping out! Then I’m so thin I won’t work it out as a worker =)

But.. physics is not everything, never came to your mind why I entitled this serie of interviews “10Q” and questions are never quite as ten?
Yes, I was asking myself when I read for the 15 questions ehehehehe, if they were more than 20 could been scared! :P

And you dind’t say a word? Wastrel! =)
I’m a wastrel? ahahahha
Then back to question 9 eheh :P


Projects for the future? Let’s see.. training pigskins for sumo, aerialist ants?

The idea of training pigskins for sumo match is quite fine, in Japan I could get rich soon ehehe
Well, there’s still the webagency idea..

One last question: how about schol? Your faves?
I’m quite good. My faves were Hystory of Arts, Techical Drawing (the very first symptoms of Designer disease ehehe), english and informatics.


Eh.. language was not of your faves.. =P

Elena is so nice and blazing so I do thank her to get under all this and.. if you have a great webdesigner job, please contact me  =P
