About Sector Seven
(Don't ask me where the name came from though :))

My first serious effort put into making a decent website was sometime in summer 2001. I didn't really intend to make it as a showcase or portfolio site (plus I didn't have much work to showcase, to begin with :)), the initial purpose was to practice my favorite hobby: Graphic design, thus Sector Seven V1 was born. I like and appreciate all forms of art and design, specially user interface designs, digital illustration, and photography.

Change is good
("Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator" Robert F. Kennedy)

As you might have already noticed, the layout, or interface, for this site changes very frequently, some versions didn't even make a full month online! The reason? I like experiment with different styles and techniques, and as I already mentioned, it is the best way to practice your design skills. I try to be different as much as possible in my designs, which is not an easy task considering the mammoth amount of design-related websites on the Internet these days.

Most of my interface designs are heavy on graphics, and sometimes it gets really difficult to get everything to work right in different browsers or at different resolutions. However, I usually take my time in making sure that the final product as cross platform/browser/resolution consistent as it can be. Noticed any glitches or something wrong/not displaying right, etc..? Then help me a better designer and let me know of it.

Software quiver
(These are not the only applications I use, but they are the ones I like to use/most experienced with)

	Adobe Photoshop CS2, Image Ready CS2 and Illustrator CS
	Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for HTML editing.
	IrfanView: Excellent freeware image viewer.
	CPick: a little handy color picker, very useful.
I am currently playing with Flash, and might use it in some of my upcoming designs.

The "Rig":

	MSI KT333 Ultra 2 mobo with AMD Athlon 2000+, and a 256 MB of DDR RAM.
	Geforce 2 MX (considered the caveman's graphics card now, I know)
	Mouse, keyboard, etc...you know, other stuff you find with a computer :)

The mandatory F.A.Q.
(a.k.a. the chunk of ego-bloating, arrogance-reeking, silliness that has to be on every design site :S)

Wanna affiliate?
Sure, unless your site has generic animated GIFs all over and randomly playing MIDIs. I'll link you if your site has an ounce of design decency.

Make me a layout and I'll love you forever?
I appreciate all the love, but I am a student and you know how it is. If you're interested in my work, I will offer you professional service and great pricing (P.S. I can also accept non-monetary compensation, like a killer graphics card or a 30 inch plasma monitor :-D ). For more info on my design services, see the services page.

How did you make that?
I believe in knowledge sharing, that's why I have a tutorial section on my site. I learned what I know so far from a combination of personal experimenting and other's people's knowledge that they shared. I get a lot of email asking me how I did this effect or that, and I do try to answer them all...yes, I've written complete tutorials in emails for some people, that's why I've decided to include a tutorial section on my site since version 7. I know they are not a lot, but that's due to the fact that I write tutorials that will really teach you something unique (I hope) not the generic effects that you can find all over the Internet.

Hey there..I used some of your stuff on my site, you wouldn't mind would you?
Unfortunately, I DO mind. I have put time and effort into making all the stuff you see here, and I am not a big fan of the idea of someone using my designs without my knowledge or consent. Of course you can use certain things for personal use, such as the wallpaper section, the downloads section (which contains an extensive tutorial+PSD and HTML template on making your own simple site), but I repeat, for personal use only please. If you want to use any of my copyrighted content, please contact me and I will see what I can do.

Why did you write this F.A.Q. when you hate F.A.Q.s?
Everybody has an F.A.Q.!! Why can't I then?
:)
