“Thinking With People”

NID’20 SDM

Finding meanings of words through design principles was the task. I have chosen two words - fear and infinity. In fear part red grouped triangles are giving the sense to jumping circles with chances of accidents. Whereas in infinity you can’t find the beginning and end of triangles.

Finding The Principles of Design by only lines and dot was a interesting task for exploring numbers of possibilities. Well here we are strictly stuck with the dimensions of lines and dots. I have explored 3 principles as Balance, Point of Interest and Scale & Proportions. In balance I have tried to balance a scene with its negative background which appears like environment. In point of Interest bunch of dots making eyes to focused surrounded by lines. Whereas scale and proportion is making things diminished in same elements reference.

To find out design principles in environment, was a challenge for me because in nature nothing exist as individual so we have to find out something particular as gestalt was a bit challenge. But, also surprising to get these principles naturally present sometime in environment and sometimes it exist as in the form of products.

Taste of Rasgulaas are always been a morning dew for many regions in India. Like same in Lucknow, it gives the same feeling of morning namaz with chasing friends voices for patang. Waves in abstract visuals in the colour of sweetness like red, pink, white, peach are perfectly giving the mouth melting stages of a sweetness of rasgulaas where one can lost for while in chewing and ending all.

During the exploration of khichadi and its taste, I got to know about its serving with many things like- curd, pickle, ghee, Aloo Bharta. Most demanded food in all regions of India, we used to have it on every Saturday. In most of the Indian regions khichadi also been distributed as Prashaad. I had a musical memory with trumpet sounds around the temples, this environmental taste I have converted into modern show introduction sounds like for any spice dishes.

Why Jalebeee ? It’s very much famous as food or sweets in Northern Indian region. In North, people eat jalebee usually in the morning time, eating jalebeee always reminds me of places like- Dehradun, Ambala and Lucknow. Sweetness of jalebee gives me feeling of relaxation like we used to feel on Sunday when I was in school. The music which I have used is like modern instruments like Casio and guitar mixed rhythms which gives me senses of Sunday’s T.V Advertisments like insurance companies. I have observed one thing while doing this activity is that we always have sensory interaction with food by its abstraction, music and environment.

Feel the impact of colour with my past remembrance of happenings with conclusion to a great stories. All sorted in the books of colour as different taste of memories.

Done the photography of different tints & tones of mixed hues their outcomes. These collection of paper strips are nice to have for creating different colour patterns for background and selecting the best colour match with one another.

Hidden Hues expresses the journey of mine into exploring different hues out three given primary colours- Red, Yellow and Blue. For that I have used Poster colour to get rich pigment and visuals of mixed colour outcomes. By mixing again and again I got the real hue of desired hues. For getting perfect hue I used rectangular paper strips for instant collection of mixed hues, during this process I learned the imbalance of mixed hues with their different outcomes so, for right outcomes I have to mix it in equal quantities. Struggle began with Violet where equal mixing didn’t work so I have to unbalanced the quantity of poster red and cobalt blue to get Violet (secondary colour). When the whole process ended I got a nice collection of colour strips for references for choosing colour themes and contrast, complementary etc.
