WIF 2010 - webdesign international festival - France

They are young and restless after a white night… and some heavy power drinking! The Løsbart’s boys are here to testify about WIF’s side effects!

Can you introduce yourself?
We’re two 18 years old students, Aleksander and Nader, from Norway and we represent the youngest team in the Norwegian preselection. Our team name is Løsbart which can be translated both as solvable and fake mustache.
Neither of us are professionals, but we do are best and are pretty satisfied with what we’ve accomplished for the last 24 hours.

What made you come to this preselection? What do you expect?
Well, we came to the preselection because we both saw this as an opportunity to meet the big guys and hopefully get a few new friends in the business.
We didn’t actually expect much of ourselves when coming here because we’re so young and lacking of experience compared to the rest of the teams. What we expected was to get a challenging task, a couple of minutes of sleep and a good time.

What do you think of the theme?
Neither of us are big fans of VG, but the idea itself was really exciting. We were both pleasantly surprised by the theme and we had a lot of fun working with it. We’ve got to agree with Kaptein internett, it was a good idea to connect the theme with the release of the Apple iPad.

How is it working out for you?
We’re actually finishing up right now and we think it went pretty well. Maybe not the best design, but we’re quite confident on our idea and concept. We had a couple of stalls during the night. One of them took one hour to fix, and it was just a really minor detail in the CSS.
Some teams probably have better results than us, but we’re still early in our learning process. Some of the other competitors are after all our age combined.

Anything you’d like to add?
Great event! We’ve drunk two litres of RedBull each. AWESOME SPONSOR!!!

All right guys. We hope you got a great deal from the sponsor (besides the drinks).
