print : Matteo began working in desktop publishing and graphic design for print back in the late 80s and early 90s, before turning to a decade-long, almost-exclusive passion for web design. He has since found a renewed interest in the "simplicity" of designing for the printed page.

web : Web page designs have a notoriously short shelf-life and can be difficult to save and archive. Oftentimes, as soon as the designer has finished, the client has free reign to begin changing content. Therefore static *photographs* of web designs are often the best way to capture a moment in a web page's history. Many of these images are edited together in such a way that you can see the entire scrolling web page. Clicking on or mousing over the image on the right provides sizing options. The opinions and views expressed in these pages are those of the content provider and do not necessarily represent those of the designer.

illustrator : Matteo was orginally introduced to vector-based drawing during the mid 90s, during which time he illustrated a 300+ page book (with three illustrations per page). Today he has rekindled an interest in object-oriented work, after a decade-long emphasis in editing raster bitmaps with Adobe Photoshop.

flash : SmugMug does not yet support Flash files in its galleries. However, uploading animated gif conversions is supported, so that is what you are viewing here. In these Flash exports, interactivity is not possible, and some clarity and smoothness in the animation is lost. You may also need to click on an image and view it by itself in order to see the animation running.

photo manipulation: people, places & things : Photo manipulation is the application of image editing techniques using photographs in order to create an illusion, deception, or entirely new composition (in contrast to mere photographic enhancement or correction). Sometimes called "photoshopping," the alteration is often much more dramatic than subtle color balance or contrast changes, as the resulting image may have little or no resemblance to the photo (or photos) from which it originated.

panoramic stitch experiments : Photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image. Commonly performed through the use of computer software, most approaches to image stitching require nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results. It is also known as mosaicing.

steampunk apple macintosh clock mod : This Macintosh Classic II (circa 1990) has a new life as a shelf-top clock. Running MacOS 7 at 16mhz on 4mb ram and a 20mb hard drive, it features a dozen-or-so different shareware/freeware clock and time applications, including a world clock, moon clock, sunrise-sunset data, count-down event timer, and "fate clock" (counts down in seconds to your life-expectancy-based predicted moment of death). The internal computer chassis was removed from the original off-white case, adorned with beads and glitter-glue, and then spray painted flat black (including the mouse). Keeps accurate time, and chimes appropriately on the hour, half-hour, and 15 and 45 minute marks. Please select the original size images to view close-up details. Created by Mouselink.
