“Past The Tree 2008″ Wallpapers

Projects/Artwork & Wallpapers

Preview of the 'Past The Tree 2008' wallpapers

Past The Tree was an art piece I first created in 2006 using a combination of vectors, fractal images and an assortment of Photoshop brushes and filters. The 2007 Edition was a revised version of the first version, and touted revised colours. After leaving the 2007 design untouched, I decided to re-create it from scratch, ensuring all of the previous elements were fresh and unique. The 2008 Edition is available on DeviantArt, so it seemed only suitable to release a collection of wallpapers to go along with the new design.

These wallpapers are meant to supersede the 2007 Edition wallpapers, given in a previous post; however, I decided not to remove them just in case someone still wanted them.

The difference between Windows and Macintosh versions is the gamma – the Windows versions are suitable for monitors with a gamma of 2.2, whereas the Mac versions are suitable for a gamma of 1.8.

“Remembering MX”

Projects/Cursors & Icons

Preview of the 'Remember MX' files

Remembering MX is a collection of five Photoshop files, showcasing some very old icons I created in 2004 when Macromedia’s Studio MX was still the big thing. The files contain the vector shapes for each application’s logo, and layer styles for each design so that you can create your own or reproduce their appearance.

Whilst I can’t fault Adobe’s minimalistic “coloured-box with lettering style” for the CS3 applications, I’d like to think that the MX Suite designs will forever be engraved in the minds of all the designers from all those years ago. I don’t think any design have come close to how the MX designs clearly and brilliantly portrayed the software suite.

As updated, the downloads below now list a set of icons for Windows XP/Vista and Mac OSX. The Vista & Mac icons are untested, so if you do use them, leave a comment and let me know how they went. Only 32-bit icons are included.

The Photoshop files are compatible with Photoshop CS and above. It may work in Photoshop 6 and 7, except I believe that some layer blending options won’t be preserved correctly.
