General Information
This domain has been active since 2011 and used for mostly portfolio purposes. In 2018 it has been re-purposed as a blog/design portal.
I have come up with an Eco-Cyber style that merges my passion for nature and technology. Almost all of the artwork and images used within this website are created by me. I have added some informative notes and tips throughout the website to share my thoughts and offer additional information.
The icon font used throughout the website is called “Font Awesome”. You can view more details here https://fontawesome.com/
The WordPress theme used is call “Uncode”. You can view more details here https://undsgn.com/uncode/

Frequently Asked Questions
The comments feature has been omitted on this website to allow for more time to create design content rather than spending it on the sifting and approving process. I might take a look at discussing things on social media and/or add a chat functionality to assist members.

I use a program called 7-ZIP (64-bit) for Windows to create zip files and to decompress them. This is their website where you can read more info and/or download the program – https://www.7-zip.org/
If you use a Mac then this article might help you with zip files – https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25411
I use a program called “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC” to view and print PDF files.
Portable Document Format (PDF) files are very versatile and can be used to contain/display various types of data (e.g. Images, Vector artwork, Text, Links, Layers, Bookmarks, etc).
I have used both systems but I prefer using a PC because I find the Windows Operating System easier to work with. In addition, all my required software and hardware are supported.
I previously used Adobe Creative Cloud software (All Apps plan) for most of the design work.
You can view more details on their website – https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html
I have also created an article about Adobe – https://www.sergelimontov.com/blog/adobe-company-and-products-overview/
I now use alternative software from Affinity and other companies instead. I will create an article with alternative software information at a later date and add a link here.
