Recently Vladstudio released a great new wallpaper and tutorial. The new wallpaper uses denim textures to make a really interesting looking effect on screen. I liked it so much I decided to take a shot at the tutorial. The follow are my results.
After following most of the steps in the tutorial, and improvising a little, I came up with something I was pretty happy with. I decided to take a slightly more clean cut and artificial look that Vlad did. That clean look basically means no stitches for now.
Obviously these wallpapers are a lot more simplistic that the Vlads, but I actually like the simplistic look and just enjoy the texture of the denim on screen.
Anyway, hope some of you enjoy it. (Note: Read the entire post to see the attachments).
It’s been quite awhile since my last post, and that’s because things have been pretty busy around here. For the past few years I have been working as a Graphic Designer/Color Print Technician for a whole sale print company. The job started off as a temporary thing while I was looking for a software development job, but the more I worked with graphic designs the more I liked doing it.
So after working and learning about graphic design, and using my previous knowledge of web design and programming I decided to start my own little business, Zimian Design Studio. At the moment I am mainly focused on print designs, but I am also planning on doing web designs once I get settled in. I think my experience with Drupal module and theme development might be a good place to start.
Anyway, that’s what’s been going on and why the site has been pretty barren for the past several weeks. The new site is for my tiny company is up at Zimian Design Studio, not much there at the moment, but I hope to add more content later. Right now most of the important stuff is there. Keep me in mind if you need some design work done. 
For the past few years I have been working at a wholesale printing company doing pre-press, graphic and web design. After using several design products for that time it seemed like the right time to jump in and buy the Adobe Creative Suite 2.
This seems like a good time because Adobe is just setting up to release Creative Suite 2.3. Which now comes with the new Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver. Even though I am hand web coder I have been looking into Dreamweaver and it seems like it is a pretty good hand coding enviroment with some WYSIWYG features thrown in.
Along with Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver you also get Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Version Cue, and Bridge. I have been using most of these applications for awhile now, and they all rock.
Anyway, hopefully there will be some more graphic design related content up here from now on as I play around with these apps.
