Athyrius Re-Designed

We are featuring a new gallery - new content and a new portfolio of designs including some fabulous content management systems.

Athyrius 'Three Birds' Gallery Premier- San Diego.

For a sneak preview of our new site design, incorporating a complete content management system, see http://www.athyrius.com/joomla. You will find our new gallery as well as several major multimedia/content management projects completed or in the making.
Athyrius 'Three Birds' has been invited to be part of a multimedia presentation at The Art Of Digital Show at the elegant Lyceum Theatre Gallery in San Diego's historic Gaslamp Quarter. Three Birds has been featured on several national PBS specials as well as toured the United States as part of a cutting-edge fabric printing promotional display. You can upload 'Three Birds' in our Wallpaper section to use as a nice desktop.

Photoshop Masterpieces and Illustration With Attitude.

Athyrius completed a new photoshop masterpiece entitled "Marionette, Plaything of the Gods". This graphic creation was entered for the April 2006 Photos.com Challenge and was featured on the front page of that Uber Graphics site.  The monthly Photos.com challenge features some of the most talented and creative artists using high end stock photography provided by Photos.com to create visually stunning as well as thought provoking images.  Athyrius continues to press the boundaries of imagination to support this effort by the fine people at the Graphics.com community.

Meanwhile Athyrius has continued to post on the Graphic Design Forum blog and made some out-of-the-box political and social observations about the current use of Orange in advertising design color schemes - and got some fascinating feed-back from some very interesting people. Feel free to hop over to "What's With the Orange?" You will come away with a new view at what advertising does to your thoughts and emotions on a daily basis.

The Athyrius Design group has also been playing in the Snow, the results of which we will be releasing soon in the form of a content management system.

Designing With Attitude

Recently we have been helping to develop and re-develop some great cartoon characters for the fabulous folks at With Attitude Inc.; one of whom was the mascot for the Las Vegas Centennial Celebrations.

Athyrius will also be designing an online game to compliment their existing line of children's games.  Pop over and take a look at their games and ecards and make sure you let the kids in on it.  Their site is at www.WithAttitude.net and should keep you busy for the next few hours.

Graphics for Artists

Last, but not least, another major project is a large introductory Brochure designed to showcase a major artist, M Castano, in National Museums.
This brochure and a few other new designs, including some of the "With Attitude" cartoon work, can be seen on the Graphic Design Gallery page over on Graphics.com






Top image is the full brochure cover 22.5"x 8.5".
The image below is the inside contents of the brochure.

Athyrius Invited to Blog on Graphic Design Forums

I am hoping everyone has been enjoying the fall holidays as we head into the busy winter season. I recently made a post to the Graphic Design Forum blog that will be entertaining and informative for new (and old) clients. We had a nice invitation over the Halloween Howl-iday; a spot as a guest blogger on GDF Blog (Graphics Design Forum). Thanks to Internet.com, Jupitermedia.com, the entire Graphics.com family- and a big high five to Chris D. Also, Athyrius and a new design were Featured in Septembers Photos.com and Graphics.com Newsletters. If you are interested in Graphic Arts or Photography these sites are a worthwhile visit. Join the Forum for a gab-fest or check out the hundreds of tutorials.

Mr. Olympia After Party in Las Vegas

The Athyrius Design Graphics family has been very busy these past few months. In October we coordinated and hosted the Mr. Olympia Afterparty in conjunction with PSP Inc. to cap off the weeks convention and competition. Special thanks to Vince P. of Muscletech and all of the present and former great Olympiads who showed up for the greatest muscle party in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile Athyrius Designs has been very busy. From hosting Fashion shows at the Palms to entering the realm of printed fabric designs, developing new screenprint designs and polishing up old ones for Liquid Blu and for our old friends at Ballzout. We love the Magic International Fashion Convention here in Las Vegas and always look forward to meeting new people and seeing old acquaintances. The private parties are pretty cool too. It only takes about two weeks to recover from a 3 day event.
In other areas, some Athyrius Designs have been chosen by Lori Dvir-Djerassi of Color Textiles Inc. as showcase pieces for her specialized fabric printing business. Athyrius' graphic 'Three Birds' was showcased at the World Photoshop Convention this year at the Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas. So we are pretty excited to be entering a realm of artistic display that incorporates real world usage. If you wish to contact us about any of these projects please email Athyrius

Recently we won our second Photos.com Challenge and we were also entered for the MOCA 2005 'Donnie' Award. We also began developing a more interactive design for Hmoong that incorporates blogging capabilities for the boys in the band.

On the programming side we have become independent developers of Movable Type - and we are also deep in the process of developing some amazing technologies and methods for site production, multimedia advertising and content management that are going to be the future of the internet. As the 'programming' half of this partnership helped launch the internet into public use many years ago when he was with NASA, as well as being one of the original developers of the Flash program, I feel comfortable making such a large statement.

We will be adding a few goodies for the internet community over the coming days and weeks, including free pre-sets, 3d textures, designer Photoshop brushes, and other cool little widgets. Right now you can go steal a couple of nice wallpapers and download a working wallpaper desktop clock- such as the one featured at right. There is also a nifty tutorial on grunging up a photo to have fun with.
