  • My Notes about User Experience Design that I learn on My Website’s Design Portfolio Page

    On Day one of my website I had static 3 page website that I made in iWeb almost one year back in year 2010…

    WordPress was my Ver. 02’s website’s CMS & Yes! It’s deployment & decision was successful.

    Art Portfolio was the name of front page almost 10 months back… It had 3 blocks of images that were to facilitate as icons so that people can click over it to perform lightbox style animation that will open bigger image over page & every other content will black out…

    Practically speaking it was just small content only three artworks… & people don’t know what to do with it… there was no message written over it to tell user to click over it to view bigger image… So it was unsuccessful approach of mine to showcase my artwork on my portfolio page.

  • Asa Balgandharva Ata Na Hone – Show lost in it’s own Paradise

    Yesterday I attended program by The Movie Balgandharva people.

    Kind of Making of Balgandharva talk.

    Whole program started half an hour late.

    The effort put up by all team of at show gave the feeling the program lacks thought process should be put behind for programs… As I have saw film 10 time by now…

    After an hour or saw I felt why I attended this show as It doesn’t give any more information which is already given in the film. I felt more audio & visual of real Balgandharva should be more elaborated on screen than just camera man’s personal feelings.

  • Lovebirds – A Suspense Story A Marathi Play

    Yesterday I saw ‘Lovebirds’ Marathi Play at Gadakari Rangayatan at Thane.

    I was amazed with basic story line behind play & how suspense was well maintained in play throughout & how live motion video was used to evolve around story…

    This is the first time I was experiencing suspense story live in theater & happening in front of me.

    Live Video on Wall was vary well used to explain & illustrate story no second was lost or misused to or lost in Live Video & live Action, All sync in video & live action was perfect

    I would suggest all to watch this Marathi Play…

  • A False Race That Man Never Ran

    There was one company…

    There was one designer…

    That one designer joined that same company & story started…

    One fine day designer was setting in company canteen having tea, he saw guy seating in front of him…

    Designer thought let’s talk & interact with fellow worker so he asked his name. The guy replied, “I am TG 4”

    & designer starts laughing… & asked himself what is that ‘TG’ Thing?

    The company was having ‘Technical Grade’ allotted to their employees

    Designer realize while spending few months in company that people that works here have no identity no name no value… Only people know each other by Technical Grade, they even ignore salary as they get greater salary with greater Technical Grade…

    So people with higher Technical Grade were running the race of Grade that has no value out side their company… It was false motivation of false realization…

    What if you want a Auto Rickshaw to catch to run to the place what you will tell the Rickshaw driver, “I am TG4, Let’s Go”, It doesn’t mean any thing to that rickshaw driver…

    What you will tell your kids in the morning when you are leaving for office & work,”bye, bye Kids your TG 4 is going” It will sound hilarious & you know what it is just stupidity…

    You can’t in cash & it doesn’t fetch value outside that company…
