…design?”
A couple of days ago, I happen to read a blog post by Gavin Elliott: “Designers, what was your first piece of work?.” 24 designers speak about their first designs. Since I am not a celebrity, Gavin didn’t take the trouble of contacting me.
So today morning, I spent some hours digging through my back-up data in CDs and got some old stuff. For those who are interested, here is my story.
Recruitment? In these troubled times? Well, don’t jump to draft an e-mail. I am talking about the making of recruitment press ads about two years ago.
The Premise
In 2007, the technology company, where I worked, was thinking about conducting a walk-in interview to attract new talent to fill in some positions. Handouts were to be printed and a newspaper advertisement must be given. I was approached to do the design. A couple of samples were given to me. I started my work.
Right hand bottom corner of my screen shows 6:08AM IST, Wednesday, May 21, 2008. This is an auspicious time to start the first blog in my life. To be frank, a crude form of my blog has been a regular in my College Yahoo Groups since 2001. After getting so much ‘little’ attention and seldom replies or comments from my friends, the crude blog met with a silent death.
I want to win an Oscar some day. As on today, the Academy does not give away Oscars in Electronics Engineering. So, after serious and lazy thoughts, I have decided to become a designer. What designer, even I don’t know, only time can tell.
I need a portfolio with a lot of shameless self promotional stuff.
I need to learn Auto CAD, 3dsMax and SolidWorks.
I need to improve my English.
I need to buy a Notebook PC.
I need to decide where to study the ‘Master in Design’ Course.
Everything is possible. But as I am suffering from a pathetic disease of laziness…
Anything below 200 is easy to read. The ‘word counter’ shows 183 words so far excluding the title.
That’s all from my end. Let us meet again sometime in this week.
204!
