Creating a Matrix Wallpaper with Photoshop

May 5th 2010 by Aaron Vergisi

Our objective here is to make a Matrix wallpaper. We will be using images of a set of warriors (or anyone for that matter) and will try to incorporate it into Matrix look wallpaper. The “green” effect will be what we shall try to obtain and also the falling numerical and stuff. So here goes. Starting from the basics of Photoshop :) .

I used CS2. The shortcuts etc may vary in later versions so I shall not be referring to them here. We will take the long cuts here. Besides, shortcuts can be reconfigured in Photoshop.

Interview: Younger Designer, Nicole Dominguez

Apr 29th 2010 by Holly Lamarche

We are continuing with our interview series, here at Admix Web, where we are publishing one interview per week of fellow web designers and developers. I am still requesting designers and developers to nominate colleagues in the field, or themselves, for an informal interview conducted by myself. It is my contention that these interviews will not only give us great insight into the people behind the designs, but they will also help with networking, collaboration, and generally getting to know each other on a more personal level. We are still looking for interviewees, so please contact me if you are interested at hlamarche[at]admixweb[dot]com. This is week seven of our interview series, and this is our first female web designer in the interview series, and many more to come we hope! This week we had the pleasure of interviewing an amazing young web designer who has taught herself from the ground up starting at the young age of thirteen. Our first featured female interviewee, Nicole Dominguez, is a nature design talent, but she puts a lot of effort towards being as successful as possible in the field! Here is her interview! Enjoy!

Kick-Ass Art Inspired by the Comic Kick-Ass

Apr 26th 2010 by Teylor Feliz

This past week I had the pleasure of seeing the epic comic story made on the big screen, Kick-Ass. For those of you who do not know about the movie Kick-Ass, you must do yourself a favor and go see this amazing movie, and for those of you familiar with the movie or the comic, I do not need to convince you how great this story is with Big Daddy, Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist. Unfortunately, I have to be honest that I was not familiar with the comic prior to it being made into a movie, but after watching the movie I found myself wanting to immerse myself in the comic story. Not only is Kick-Ass himself a great character, but Hit Girl is the story! However, as a designer, as much as I love the story, I love the comic illustrations more. Here are some Kick-ass illustrations inspired by the comic Kick-Ass that I came across that I wanted to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
