Category: Art And Design

Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities, usually involving imaginative or technical skill. Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields. In some cases the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, cowboy coding and graphic design) is also considered to be design.

  • My Work experience – Working for self & Working for some other company

    When you working for self, you are in comfort of your own bedroom or den, your personal AC & cooling system your own personal choice of computer, You just work, You can’t remember when you started the work when you want to stop, you have your personal choices & decisions & no Art Director over you to detect you about what to do & how to do….

    But When you are working for some other company in their own environment is disturbing, pathetic, boring & some times you realize you have to run away from this place, you even can’t listen to you choice of songs vary loudly or casually they have their own rue of conduct etc….

    You can’t choose your clients when you are working for some other company, As Being company they have their own choices about color & look so even you can’t argue with them for design decisions…

    So being freelancer it always helps to be one but yes there is financial insecurity & instability about steady & permanent income per month… Sometimes you have lot of work & some time you don’t have for moths…

  • A real difference of FPS (Frames Per Seconds) & how it affects the quality of Animation

    FPS is Frame Per Second term used in all modern 3D & classical Animation films & Computer Applications Used to Animate them inside Computer Applications like Autodesk Maya, Adobe Flash to say the few,

    I will write from my experience of using high FPS likes of 60 is real smart idea,

    This is no smart guess that 60 FPS animation against 24 FPS animation is certainly more smoother, quicker, faster & refreshing to eye,

    I also got one experience that whenever you animate in 60 FPS animation you get more space or keyframes i.e 60 Keyframes per second to animate than or 24 FPS which are only 24 Keyframes per seconds.

    To just clear the terms, The Term ‘FPS’ is related to human’s vision’s characteristics i.e. Persistence of Vision

    As Wikipedia says about persistence of vision

    Persistence of vision is the phenomenon of the eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina.

    The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network.

  • Design Schools or Design Institutes in India

    India’s Education System (mainly Mumbai University from where I belong) is based on 10 + 2 + 4 years of graduation program.

    For applying to graduation program in Art you need to have following qualification, You must have 10 + 2 passed certified program that means you must pass Secondary School Certification (SSC) & then 2 years of Higher Secondary Certification (HSC) then only you can apply to Art Institutes like Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art & Sir J. J. School of Art for graduation in Art.

    In last few years common entrance test like MH-AAC-CAT (Maharashtra Applied Arts & Crafts Common Aptitude Test) are introduced in Maharashtra state. By passing this test it allows you to choose between art colleges for graduation in Maharashtra.

    Graduation in Design
    You have to start to learn design only through Art Colleges as there are no design colleges available for graduation in design.
    But there are few courses available to graduate in Design from NID & IDC.
    NID has ‘Graduate Diploma Program in Design (GDPD)’

    Following are the famous art collages mainly in Maharashtra, India.
