updates on the photography

So.... I have been away for months here huh?... Wrong because picturomatic will be updated  to the fullest! Stay tune!

*That blog is having issues so please bear with it...

What's inside Kami center interface?

Ok... That is the basic "default" interface. Designed in Photoshop, layers get easier to erm... layers...

6 folders~ Let me break it up from the top onwards.

-notice for exporting > 2 layers

-Global trash can/ temp > not in use yet

-Not visable to user elements > kami center 6 theme template > (Just stating the amount of folders and layers...) 10 folders, 20 layers

-IMPORTANT! Discarded ideas > photo menu interface > (Just stating the amount of folders and layers...) 2 folders, 9 layers

-kami center 6 > main menu > Just stating the amount of folders and layers...) 8 folders, 13 layers

-wallpapers > 1 folder, 8 layers

Total, 44 layers and 30 folders.

That's not record breaking. That's not insane. That's not madness.


In the archive (no idea which file or even where is it), there's one. 150 layers. My own record. Not enough? That's only the FACE, not the body or even the head. Maybe it's deleted. Who knows~?

The 100th post

This explains all. Bye~




For now...

Going slow but not stopping

Due to my workload increasing, well this is going very slow like a snail pace.

New designs, next month or so. Till I’m free then I will post something.

Minor tweaks around the blog.

You realise that this notice "The site will be undergoing a minor script change. Some funtionality might be missing or disabled. I am sorry for any convenience caused. " is shown.

Right now I'm trying to remove scripts that might slow down loading time. Though I'm not suffering from any page opening speed issue as I have a good internet connection =P and using IE7 for blogging (I know that IE7 sucks and the slowest but load pretty decent.) and as this blog host alot of images, scripts removal is required for loading speed and of course useless scripts is an eyesore.

You might notice alot of changes but the overall interface is pretty much the same.

Hope this does not affect your experience while browsing this blog of mine.
Stay happy and postive =D

Moving to a better site.

Don't be mistaken.. Not blog moving but site moving.

My google site is still banned for no good reason and I had enough with google site services. (Not blogger of course)

The new URL is from wordpress. Now moving content and lucky, it's HTML code is portable.

http://articina.wordpress.com/ The name is very obvious...

Funny name

The current name, Orcieina, really has no meaning.

Now thinking of what name to replace that but it must have this word "Ocean".

Formaly known as Articina, containing the word "Art".
For "Ocean", merging the ending "icina" is hard. "Oceanicina"? " Oceania"?

I don't know..

New name~

If I recalled, it's called Orcienia. I know the spelling is abit funny or not very nice, but that's the only name I can come up while I'm sick.

Coming soon this xmas.. Orcienia | Snow.

Harzz...

Reformat my computer as my Windows XP files are corrupted, my Articina google site has been disabled for no stupid reason and 3 days sick.

Tones of things to catchup with the world...

Sorry that I might start a new project, similar to Articina but with a small tweaks.

Articina | Solar will not be release as the one man team is sick and his site has been disabled...

What did I did wrong?

Now talking about this post, http://articina.blogspot.com/2008/12/hehe.html.

What did I did wrong. The images shows alot of flaws. hehe..

This design is from Windows XP start menu, showing all my commonly used apps.

Well, the Net Browser is my homemade web browser, which still up to this date, no idea what it does.

Ignoring that, I take a screenshot and morph into my Articina Pure interface.

Well that's alot of problems.

Wow, unofficial~

Well.... some things are'nt suppose to be leaked out.

However, this is the idea no.1

The idea no.2 is the older post which is a few post away from this..

Things are comming to a snail pace

I know =
I had other things to do (Other then playing maple lol), like project BIKE (Yet to be known) and since it's holiday, why not enjoy the breeze (As if there's wind).

But rest assured, I will upload the so called interactive .psd files soon. This time will be batch upload.

Coming soon next week featured (not so as it's even started!) content, Articina Pure
"Relife the history todate." Quote by some guy@1915 lol that's not a link so dun click it

The dairy of Articina

This is my summery of all my interface designing.

I shall begin explaining the milestone it has sat in my computer (lol).

This OS1 design, the basic foundation of the early Articina design.

It's holds everything together and while implementing the idea, why use 2 layers to hold everything together? So after days of cracking,

1)I found the answer to my needs, this is where Articina is born.

The first picture shows the Task Manager, in 3D. It shows the CPU usage and even shows the peak of the graph.

2)Second picture shows the Login screen, which changes after creating Articina and Infomatics, which is cool and nice. Ideas evolve even just by myself. Simple and sweet.

3)Next is the UAC, User Account Control. You might heared about this in Mac OSX and Vista.

However, in this picture, it's a little extreme as it shows the code and commands of a program that you might tried to run on your computer. Hope Microsoft or Apple or even open source OS community adopt this idea into their comsumers machine as I felt that it's a nice neat feature, although neardy. This keeps your computer safe and as well as the freedom of experimenting risk.

4)Last in the line of OS1, media center. Not much but neat. Needs alittle touchup though. =)

Next is Articina design, as you can see the media center is actually from Kanami. This is a major improvment from OS1 which actually lacks more then 3 features that a user demands.

1) This media player from Articina looks kinda familiar, nevermind about that. Moving on.

2) The login screen is a classic. Big improvment since OS1 and it's clean.But not clean enough and later we go on to the Infomatics.=)

3)The so called "explorer". My friend commented it and said it's nice but it's not really for the consumer level as it's too detailed. Too much information can kill brain cells; nuff said.

I'm proud of Infomatics. The biggest change in the two version I have created.

1) You see the media center, it just looks great. All-in-one entertainment center with details and information that you want to see, get reminded the last task you did and continue with it or just simply move on to other stuff.

2) The version 0.3. It is different from version 0.1-0.2 shown in my older post but this is a eye-catching feature that you should not miss. My friend said it looks like a cover-flow. Yes but no.

Yes it looks and slide like a cover flow but something is added on. Fading of the background and continuous loop when there are more then five account. Fun when it's really a login screen.

Well this is the end of my diary post of Articina.

Hope you like my designs. Thanks for visiting and have a goodday/night.

Dammed...

Uploading the Articina interface is a pain...
Although it's a small size.. you can see 21MB can >clog< your skydrive account.

zzz...

Details: Articina interface version 9, Interface version 8.2

Tomorrow I try to upload again...

Glass effect, it's old.

Share with you that the idea of glass effect ( Used on Articina ) is not new ( for me ).
I've used it on my blog trial designs and ditched the idea. Using that idea since 2006, I have comeup nice templates but of course, changed my mind.

Hehe, now "complicated" usaged used on Articina, looks great.
You should try my system 1 (discontinued).
Articnina adopt some of it's features there.

I write this post as I was data searching my hard drive, found my early ideas as old as 2005.

Formerly known as Soft design, Now Articnia glass.

Releasing Articina

Going to release Articina soon.
Beta still (like kanami)
Hohoho....password protected.
Only some are allowed to view it.
(Close-source;only friends)

The next stage

Let's bring to the whole new level ( for me of course )

The new interface, fresh look from this afternoon ( maybe not that fresh )

Kanami （かなみ）

New name and new look.
Well at least cleaner then Articina （あｒちしな）

If you didn't notice ( how to put in this way... )

Kanami （かなみ） don't have any glass effect.

Very simple and basic.

Even so it's a complete redo of the overall designing.

Took me about 10-20 minutes of thinking and designing.

( ARE YOU CRAZY ?!?! THAT LONG ?!?! )

Well it's worth it. =D
