Aagomani is Electrical Engg. dept's 'fest'. Its more like a lecture series with the topics concentrated around the year's theme. This time around it was "The World of Wireless" and I got the chance to design a banner for the website.
Though I complied with the banner, I added upon it my own logo for Aagomani, and guess what, it became official and got used everywhere.

Though there was one problem, I had just made it up for the site, so the resolution was poor. At that time I didnt know how to improve it and nobody asked me to do it, so I just kept quite ;).




(I know 1st and 2nd are very similar, but from the point of view of tastes, those belong to two totally different class of people)


I like the 3rd banner most. But pity, it didnt go with the rest of the designing of the site so had to be 'khachhed', the 2nd banner won eventually..
Tried to create some logos for the science club.

Basic idea I started with was to show that it consisted of 6 different clubs working together synchronously under the banner of Science Club. I stumbled upon such a symbol which depicts science, the club's 6 parts and the bond between them, an atom with 6 electrons..

I tried a lot of variants of how I can use it and what colour scheme to be used to further depict the depth of Science Club.
1. I then chose upon black background to show the unending depth of the field.
2. The foreground colour was mostly more of a designing choice.
3. The font, I didnt want to use techy, but curvy to go in harmony with the oval orbits and round electrons.





I suppose after whole 1 and half month of reluctance we finally decided to give the last one a 'go'..
But the logo is not final and still under the scanner of the new OCs.. But lets hope it gets bettered somehow.

PS - Though just for the record.. I like the first one the best.. Plain, Simple and easy-on-eyes colours...
Didnt do much designing for the Physics Club events out of Science Week, Tech Week and Seminar Weekend.. But made one Design for a follow up talk on Synchronisation of Moving Oscillators concerning some chaos theory concepts.
Have a look.

The Physics, Web and Coding, and Krittika (the Astronomy Club) together (under the Science Club of IITB) are organised The Annual Seminar Weekend this year on 13th and 14th March, 2010.

The poster campaign went in two rounds, first one inviting talks by everyone and the second one announcing the talks selected to be given in the seminar weekend.

inviting talks here

Announcement for the talks being given in the weekend.
Science Week which took place one week in precedence with the Science Day on 28th Feb. This day, in the year 1928, C.V. Raman announced to the world his famous discovery, a discovery which would earn him a Nobel prize.

The designing was decided to follow a single template so that one can connect and find it all a part of the same chain.

 was recently searching for polaroid cameras as I was becoming interested in the classy look they give..
On searching I realized that actually the cameras are no longer being produced.. The company "Polaroid" has stopped the production of the revolutionary instant photograph printing cameras due to the impractical costs of the films.
The films also used to have a very small life of about 1 year .. that too when preserved.

But that was the beauty.. the exposure those films gave, the colours, the hue, the shades and highlights.. awesome !! The wait to see them get exposed and get coloured is just SO worth it !!

I am a fan of polaroids.. But i could just find some old cameras.. second hand on sale.. along with the old classic polaroid films.. Some companies are apparently still producing the films to keep the classic going..

I guess the films at some particular time by some company have become collector's pride.. They are THAT classic and antique.. i would surely want to own one of those man !!

Check out  www.polapremium.com 
(Apparently the link is broken currently but i hope it comes back soon)
They have got everything on Polaroid photography ..

I also came across The Impossible Project - Re-inventing instant film for vintage Polaroid cameras..
The whole project is aimed at recreating new films for the vintage polaroid cameras which have less waiting time..

I was amazed to see that there is so much happening in the world to preserve this vintage class of photography, that now even I wanna help in preserving it.

So taking a feeble step in that direction I used Poladroid software (its very cool and trendy to use) to see what magic these polaroid cameras once created...
