不好意思打攪你
我是台灣的學生
我們課堂的老師給我們一個作業
要我們去找一位年輕的設計師做訪問
我第一個就想到你
因為我之前有看過你的作品 讓我十分印象深刻
而你之前的網頁訊息說你最近正在忙一個專案
所以基於禮貌
我想先請問你是否有時間及意願跟我們做個訪問
不會耽誤你太多時間
謝謝

Hello Kawa,
You are correct i am "busy" with a project - completing highschool. Although i do not have time to take on design projects, i am more than available for an interview :). You can contact me through msn @ limitations109@hotmail.com . You can either conduct the interview through there or through email, it is up to you - i would however prefer msn.
I will also need a final copy of the interview that you will be presenting/publishing.
Talk to you soon,
Tom
你說的沒錯，我正忙著一個專案 － “完成高中學業”，雖然我現在沒有時間設計，但我是可以做訪談的 ^^ ，你可以用msn@ limitations109@hotmail.com 來聯絡我。或是透過email都可以，看你怎樣－ 當然我比較喜歡用msn

Why you named your website "MOTIONGERM"
為何你的網站要命名為”MOTIONGERN”
tom 說:
I feel that motion is the key to an interactive experience. Because of this, i decided to incorporate the word "motion" into my alias. Being that the industry is so saturated, i felt very insignificant at the time before the v1 launch (i was not well recognised) and so the word "germ" fits very appropriately because thats they way i felt, like a single germ admist the entire world.
我認為motion是互動的關鍵，因為這樣，我決定將這個詞放到我的別名裡。
而網頁設計這個領域又很飽和，在我的個人網頁第一版(我個人不是很承認它)出現前，我感到非常的渺小，所以”微生物”這個詞十分的貼切，就像是一個微生物進入這個世界。
Kawa 說:
oh i see .. and seconed question
Kawa 說:
How do you promo your work?
你是如何promo你的作品
tom 說:
promote?
Kawa 說:
yes^^ sorry
tom 說:
Generally Motiongerm.com recieves thousands of unique visitors every month. Whenever there are any events industry wise with motiongerm, people tend to find out because i would update my news feed. But for clientelle work, since I work mainly with contractors, a lot of the work i do isn't really recognised as mine and so exposure is minimal for myself. I don't really go way out to try and
通常Motiongerm.com每個月都會有上千個不同的訪客瀏覽。我會更新我的網頁，當訪客他們有任何需求時，會自己前來尋找。但如果是委託的案子，大部分的作品我都不是很承認是我自己的。
tom 說:
market motiongerm, it just happens. Visitors come and if there is anything that i really want to show or express, i place it on the splash page. As you can see, the current splash page notifies everyone of the 2007 motiongerm that will occur. In a way, this i guess can be called "promoting" my own work, creating anticipation for a new version.
我並不會真的去行銷我的網站，它會自然的發生。我會把我真的想呈現的東西放在我的首頁給訪客看。就像是現在我的網頁2007 motiongerm首頁訊息一樣。我想這大概就是我的promoting方式。
tom 說:
im not sure if i've answered the question lol
不知道這樣有沒有回答你的問題
