Hey Edwin, everyone, A few weeks you and others mentioned the idea of having a section where we interview famous designers. So, who shall be the first one we ask? Cheers! Kirupa :bandit: ---

Actually, why don’t we simply ask the guys from 2A what they feel about others ripping off their designs? We shouldn’t shy away from asking those questions - I want it to be something more than the usual, happy-face interviews other sites have =) ---

how bout we make these interviews in flash! like little pixel people animations or something. if you can interview in person it would be cool to do the movie in vectors. ---

We should get a team to put something like that together. I need to get a project going just so that I stay in Flash and have some free time this week since my trip to Cancun was cancelled because of the war so I might be going to Rocky Point from Friday to Sunday, but I am sure I could work something in while at work because I have soo much free time at work and I always waste it on Deviant Art or spamming random. What you guys (and girls) think? ---

Sounds cool to me. 🙂 Personally, I also think you should interview some people on the other side of the Atlantic, like… Ooo, I don’t know… Me? 😛 I think the 2A idea is a very good one, after all, it’s probably one of the most well known Flash sites ever. Even I’ve heard of it. 🙂 I suppose there’s all the standard questions, like “Where do you get your ideas from?”, that kind of thing. Definitely how they fel about getting copied so much. And I’d like to know how they’re going to top what they’ve got now. 🙂 I love that job description though. I really do. I guess it’s their way of making sure they only get the best of the best. I don’t have all of them by a long shot, but I’d be tempted to apply anyway and say “You couldn’t live without me, I’m fantastic”. You know, show a bit of English attitude. :beam: ---

you know what, i just thought of something… it is possible that we can get actual one on one interviews. i mean the mods are spread out across the US and Europe right? so say we wanted to interview someone from 2A, we send either vts or EG to their locale. what do you say? ---

I just e-mailed 2Advanced and Hillman Curtis Designs; I didn’t write any questions in their e-mail. I just asked if it would be possible for me to interview them - if they accept, then I’ll write up the questions with the input featured here. Also, do you all have any other names that you want to consider seeing interviewed? Cheers! Kirupa 😛 ---

From a design / usability point of view, then I have thought about Jakob Neilsen. He’s written books and all that as well as a paper that’s called “Flash: 99% bad”. I thought it might be good to have another viewpoint. The only concern there is that I suspect he’d probably charge us for an interview… ☹ ---
