space, time and design

if the shelf life of a document is one year or more, then it makes sense to give it 2 months to design it, example, a coffee table book or novel. In a case where it's just 1 day or a week, like a concept note for a training, then it doesn't make sense to give it more than a day to design. Now let's talk about case number one :). This is when one can indulge in layouts colors, icons, fonts, pictures, continuation to the back page... oh love love love!

What is creativity? Is it a person making a beautiful animation? Is it a person making a fantastic website? Is it a person making a well-produced brochure? Is it a person making... oh, what a micro perspective!


Or is it an entire team doing incredible work consistently?One person with God-given talent is an accident. Here, 'creative' happens naturally; expressing more than creating, really. But true creativity is when one can be a catalyst to making others think creatively. The goal is creating an ambience of idea generation by giving the other thinkers ample mind space; with least hinderances to letting them express it.

Adrenalin... rush, rush, rush...

Multi-tasking is not an option. One may be a specialist, but with a crisis at hand, all hands are expected on deck. These are the days when you wish you could clone yourself to be at 3 places at 10 a.m.!


some ads that got my attention-

1. Microsoft's 'your potential, our passion'. Here's a crack at it ;)-

pate rahega hindustani

For splendid mutton curry and dal, drop in at 'Khaja Chowk' at the Priya complex in Vasant Vihar amidst Subway, TGIF, Mcdonald's and other tasteless food joints. Order anything in the menu, anything; it should leave your taste buds reeling in euphoria. Anand, thanks for taking the detour into this amicable li'l place!

Full Full Indian all right. Probably Indian food actually always tastes this good. I guess I lost touch no thanks to pizzas and other substandard inventions.

see, touch, elevate

In this materialistic life, here's some realia that could well be convoked as objects of desire that coruscate with aesthetics and probity-


Harley Davidson V Rod

Apple IMac G5

IPod

Nikon digi cam

Bose home theatre system


Good product design inspires us to aspire for a better lifestyle. Gadgets shelve out at a geometric rate today and in a few months from now, in retrospect, this line up may well give me a good laugh since they will traduce my choice of accessories. Nevertheless, these examples also give us an idea of contemporary design, what's in and what's out. Functionality is essential, surely; but of late, Form has elbowed in leading us to fustigate gadgets that ignored The Form.
