Interivew with Tor Bollingmo at Designalized.com

Marko: Heya Tor !
Tor: Hy there, Marko.

Marko: For our reader’s could you tell something about yourself? (year old and other stuff)

Tor: Well, I’m a 18 year old boy from Norway.
How are you doing these days?
I’m doing really good, no downsides at the moment.

Marko: When did you first encounter a keyboard or computer?

Tor: I’m a youngster, so it was around ’94-’95, I got my first computer in 1998.

Marko: What is your favorite art work /website!?

Tor: A lot of the Daily Deviations at deviantART.com, I really like those. Websites, hmm.. I tend to like websites more for the sake of the content, like stylegala and ALA.

Marko: when you launched Designalized.com are you happy with the result of the site?

Tor: I am happy with the site design at the moment, but I’ve only finished the blogging part, I’m thinking about my portfolio, and how I’m going to present it. But I am glad I have a place to put up articles for feedback, yes.

Marko: What do you do in your spare time (We realize that spare time, in this context)
Tor: Besides the time I spend at the computer, I listen to music and socialize.

Marko: Do you have a favorite drink? How much of it do you drink?

Tor: Since I’m too young for liquor, I must say Vanilla Coke. Ohh, I carve for it. But sadly it’s no longer in sale, here in Norway.

Marko: Would you care to give us a brief overview of what a typical day is like for Tor Bollingmo?

Tor: Attending school, relax and watch episodes of my favorite TV series, visit my girlfriend and sleep.

Marko: I am always wondering how people such as yourself go about getting work? How do you do it?

Tor: I team up with a bud of mine, who are into PHP, since I don’t know squat about it. He is the one getting work, and I just do my part, really.

Marko: Who are some of your biggest influences?

Tor: I would say other designers and art.

Marko: Is your background in design? What was the progression into web development and design like?

Tor: I don’t really have a background; I started seriously with web development for about 2 years ago. And at that point I started getting interested in photography as well

Marko: If you where not a designer/programmer what would you be?

Tor: I don’t know, haven’t finished school yet, so who knows?

Marko: How do you like our site mcville.net?

Tor: I think the all black background is a little bit too much, I would like to see a lighter page.

Marko: If you could change something on the site what would it be?
Tor: body{background:#fff;}

Marko: What kind of music do you fancy?

Tor: Electronic, bossa nova and easy listening. But I also listen to some more rock bands like the Norwegian Turbonegro, Queens of the Stone Age and Rammstein. Rammstein is more of a industrial metal band, though.

Marko: What’s your favorite food?

Tor: Tacos.

Marko: Where do you get out on Saturday’s?

Tor: A small pub located in Hřnefoss, the city I live in. I go there with a bunch of my friends and we have a really good time.

some relaxing question to follow

Marko: Chinese or Thai (food)?

Tor: What’s the difference?

Marko: Coke or Pepsi?

Tor: Coke, Vanilla.

Marko: html or css?

Tor: HTML.

Marko: Do you watch television? If so, do you have a favorite show?

Tor: Family Guy

Marko: What would we find in your favorites bookmarks-bar?

Tor: Esthetics.
