Day 2 of construction on v2.0. As you can see, the nav is more or less the same as the yesterdays model… the real changes are in the promotional preview. You can assume that I’m going for a content preview slider in v2.0, rather than sticking with the static promotional banner’s that I’m using now. This way, I’ll be able to showcase my newest stuff, and have it rotate, so that it is in the spotlight for a little while. But the content slider is only a mechanical difference… notice also, that the look of the previewer has changed from v1.0.

Behind the scenes, I am diligently working on v2.0 of this website. It will look close to v1.0, but will sport some improvements/updates to the navigation, including a brand new section of content, “Aevion Videos,” and a search bar. Also, the promotional preview will be improved and updated, and change between multiple promotional previews. If you’ve been following this blog for a while now, you know that this is all about graphic design, but I have only been restricting my content to news and wallpapers, but video is a huge facet of the multimedia industry, so I’ve got to get the jump on it. I’ll be uploading some videos that I edited together, or amazing videos that deserve a special shout-out.

I created this image primarily the pen tool, hence the name, “Vector City”. In order to complete the piece, I gave it a small splash of color, and a couple of subtle ink brushes in the background. This image is 1704 x 1509 pixels, and not quite a typical wallpaper size, because that wasn’t what I originally intended it to be, but what the hell huh? Enjoy.

I made this piece a while ago in the GIMP, using a quite interesting filter called flame. It has all sorts of weird patters that you can choose from, and then you can edit them further from there by mixing, matching, and randomizing. Cool stuff, but anyway, I eventually tweaked my flame to look like some smoke, and then I figured that I could make my smoke appear in the form of some sort of logo, so I just chose the Nike Swoosh, because it was the first one I thought of. This is a 1920 x 1200 wallpaper, so you can use it on anything.

On a separate and unrelated note, I saw the hangover today with some friends, and it was the most hilarious movie that we had seen in a very long time. Just great, great stuff, constant laughs… I strongly recommend it to anybody who loves a good comedy.

I made this piece using the GIMP a while ago. It was a fairly simple process, of taking two images, composting them on top of each other, and then finishing it all with some color adjustments, lighting effects, and particles. This wallpaper is 1920 x 1493 pixels… weird I know, but it was larger, and I had to scale it down in order to upload it (size is a constraint sometimes). Enjoy.
