Hello all, Its been a long time since I blogged. Got stuck with loads of assignments and “Garba” ! We had Visual Design Principles by Mr. Rupesh Vyas for a week. We learnt about colour and compositions. Did a lot of hands on exercises too. We also had a short intro to Typography and Semiotics. We had a visual thinking and brain storming session where we were asked to communicate only through drawings for half a day. I had great fun in communicating with the chai walas… When it came to discussion using visuals we really had a hard time. But at the end of the day I was surprised that communicating nouns and action related words were very easy when compared to words like “hi.. good morning..” “How are you?” “Bye..” etc.. We were not allowed to use numbers or any form of language during this exercise. In typography we were introduced to type face, family and classification. Then we did Typographic Amalgamations where we have to take two characters and combine them with the set of rules to bring about a good looking composition. It was challenging. The most challenging part of the assignment is that we have to portray three different characters of a person in 15 different styles from his / her name. Oh god.. It was soo difficult… but when we started playing with the letters we understand a lot of meanings involved in it. Putting hours and hours of hard work in it was worth it. Mr. Rupesh Vyas gave enough freedom to play around with our creativity and then he will comment on the work instead of telling everything as a “step by step procedure”. This made everyone to come up with something new.
Here are some of my works..
