Sketching
Sketching is a tool for expressing my ideas. I tend to create compositions before undertaking final work.
Rendering
I have focused on the reproduction of light and the surface properties of the depicted object.

Layout Design You may be trained extremely well but without experience you are likey to do worse than a person with less training but a lot of experience. If a child touched an iron and was burnt by it, he she was more likely to to remember not to do such a thing in future than another who is told time and time again not to touch it. Many times, as teachers would know, when you teach a pupil something on one day and he nods his head and and says “yes I know�, and ask him the next day, there is a high chance that he has forgotten. However if he has learned it by an experiment or by exprience, he is likely to remember for a very long time, sometimes even to adulthood. There is nothing better than exprience, exprience is the best teacher.

EXPERIENCE
Leaflet Design
We gain this through our lives and by putting ourselves in different live situations to get it. We can read about how to debate but it is never as adequate as the exprience of it, standing it in front of an attentive audience, concious of saying the right thing, even feeling self-concious and embarrased but having done this several times, gaining the exprience to deal with it and to improve.
THE BEST TEACHER
The above layouts are created using Baseline Grid, L.C.M Grid, Perfect in divison, Perfect in measure, for aligning and repeating elements on a page, using Adobe Indesign
Sign and Symbol Design
Ideation to make a symbol for the concept ‘Water is life’
Final concept
The final concept for the symbol ‘Water is life’ in context with a water drop and a leaf.
Typography
Explorations
The above font is created using semicircles without intersecting them with eachother.
Logo type
As my created typefont expresses connectivity or a network, I chose ‘Google inc.’ as a subject for my Logo Type.
Final Logo Type with Stationary
Keeping the existing colours of google, I chose this as my final Logo Type for its simplicity and legibility.

Paintings
Few of my art works done in my spare time.
As a Graphic Designer I prefer communicating through visual language rather than verbal language. I love exploring new environments and look forward to new experiences. I find myself drawn towards new people. I enjoy working with constraints and facing the challenge of meeting tight deadlines. I am good at adapting to new places and I love change. I am always open to suggestions and discussions.
