What I do for a Living :)

-
Some times people ask me what I do.
My answer is .... well I'm a Civil Engineer. I do bridges an stuff like that mostly scaffolding.
But in reality I'm more of a Resources Manager.
But as i spend so much time in front of a computer making artwork I must call myself an Artist or Designer.
So hi from a Civil Engineer/Resources Manager/Artist/Designer. :)

You would not believe the places were I have drawn icons :)

Hey that's cool! Sometimes it's hard to imagine a person behind a web nickname. Anyway seeing you work in such a different career to icon/graphics design makes your contribution all the more meaningful. I'd just like to say thanks for all the hard work you put into making my desktop look great.

By the way, this is also probably the best looking blog I have seen :D

wow nuno, you have pretty much the job I dreamed of growing up. I was more for the architectural engineering but was greatly interested in bridge structures. That is to cool!

I wish I did, but no I dont. Civil Engineers in Portugal don't make alot of money.
The time is the thing I twist the most :)
Honest opinion I think im a beter artist than a Civil Engineer (speciy doing mostly managementn ot actual engeniering), secondly I love KDE.

I have a question!

Hopefully in the next few days I should have a Usability test that I have been working on with Björn Balazs from apliki.de on the K3B icons in that study I will pose the same question I'm about to pose now. And hopefully a few more options, that will come from the feedback of this post. So the question is...... "Data cd" 1 or 2?.... 1 2 Don't think to hard, just fire the first thing that pops in your mind, that is the best way to judge a icon IMO..also if you have an better idea please share...I will try to include it in the usability test. P.S Ofcourse the numbers will have to be redone for each size and the document as well... Its one source file for each icon. meaning this one = 14 files 7 png's and 7 svgz's.

Air and KDE 4.3.

Image
Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now. The first thing we started working on was a Plasma theme. Plasma, with it's immense plasticity and a fantastic coder team, allows us to try to push for new ideas. Another extremely cool thing about Plasma is it's ability to become anything you want it to be. So a user in KDE 4.3 might have a desktop that looks like this, if that is his wish, without having to use external software: (click for fullscreen mode) This is an example of how simple one can make a desktop in the 4.3 Plasma once we all manage to get all of our plans working. The new systray speck will help, the work being done on the task bar will allow you ...
