iMADE Creative Studio Went to COMIC CON DELHI

They say that Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth but if any iMADEian is to be believed, the NSIC Complex was the happiest place on Earth this past weekend. Comic Con finally came back to Delhi from 4th to 6th December, 2015. Even though it was in the middle of the exams season, a huge number of students turned up to celebrate their fandoms.

Started back in 2011 with a simple mission in mind i.e. to create unique pop culture events and engage with fans all across the country, Comic Con India has grown leaps and bounds. With the intention of avoiding the costly expense of traveling abroad to a comic convention, Jatin Varma with a group of comic enthusiasts came up with the idea of starting this pop culture event wherein we get to witness a young crowd coming and meeting one another, sharing their passion for comics, anime and manga content.

It has created a platform for budding comic publishers, as well as an equal opportunity for established players to broaden their customer base. With each passing event, Comic Con is growing immensely and new comic artists can be seen along with merchandise stalls and cosplay events on the rise as well.

 Graphic artists and storytellers at the Comic Con did not display only the digital medium narrating their new stories, but rather also had a parallel offering on display in the form of print. While on one stall, artist Darshan Singh Grewal had sketches and bookmarks done with a real pen along with their digital replications; another stall by Dupe 3D had on display 3D printed customised figurines of customers.

 One of the most fascinating things about the world of comics today is its quick and hearty embrace of the modern technology and the welcoming of the merger with equal enthusiasm by followers. It is not just how the pen and paper have grown up to become the digital tools rendering graphic e-books or novels, but also how it has not thoroughly killed the good old print charm.

The festival has evolved since 2011 and now aims at expanding the realms of pop culture in the country.

“Pop Culture in India is quite limited and needs to expand to include aspects that have millions of passionate fans across the country. Comic Con India is dedicated to expanding India’s popular culture by creating world class events and help grow the industries involved and deliver much needed fun experiences to dedicated fans across India,” Jatin Varma, founder, Comic Con India said.

NID alters entrance test format





Following IIT-JEE and other tests, NID's entrance exam to give weightage of 70 marks to multiple choice questions from 15 till last year

Ditching its decade-old prac tice of testing applicants' creativity and design incli nations, the National Insti tute of Design (NID) is all set to change its entrance test method and follow the one used by IITs. Design Aptitude Test (DAT), as it is known, will now have two specific sections -Section A to have multiple choice questions (MCQs) worth 70 marks, and Section B to have subjective questions 30 marks.While many feel that NID's entrance exam may be good news for the examinees, many others feel that it may not be the same for the NID. As per tutors and students who appeared for the test, the MCQs earlier used to be of 15 marks only, while other questions focused on testing students creativity, designing abilities, process, visualisation etc.
“NID is known for its design education and its entrance test aims at evaluating creative talents. The new DAT format is in lines with those for medical and engineering courses -where MCQs are worth 70 marks.While the examinees may find the new format as easy, it may be of little help to NID,“ said Bhanwarsingh Rathore, who has been training candidates aspiring to get admitted in NID.
Claiming that there is no change in the pattern, head of NID's admis sion committee Tarun Deep Girdher said, “The method (of asking questions) may have changed, but the content is going to remain the same as NID had been following for years.There is no change in the exam pattern.“
However, many argue that if MCQs don't help in judging creative talent of candidates, it may affect the quality of students' inflow in the premier institute. “The problem doesn't end here. The admission committee had uploaded the new paper format a month ago. This may not have given the candidates adequate time to prepare for the aptitude test. NID should have been informed the aspiring students at least a year ago,“ said a source close to development.
A student in NID's foundation programme claimed that the new format will hardly deter any talented examinee from proving his creative acumen. “MCQs can not be taken lightly; they are tough at times. We have to choose an answer from four options, which are many a time tricky. One has to be very sharp and smart to choose the right option. Surely, more MCQs means more competition and equally good students,“ the source added.
Registrar Vijaya Deshmukh, who handled DAT until last year, said she would not like to comment on the change and is not involved in the admission process.
Pravin Mishra, an NID alumnus from 1998 to 2002, said, “Change in the method of DAT is necessary to filter the best talent. However, the new system will leave very little scope to evaluate the creative potential of students. Creative people are not only different from ordinary ones, but they are different from each other as well.The new system will not only ensure that the fine talents get a place in NID, but also that the selected ones are oneof-a-kind.“ Mishra is now an associate professor and director at Crafting Creative Communication at MICA.

Important Logos of India

1. Designed in early 1990s, the logo for Airport Authority of India has a symbolic graphic depiction. Designer: Benoy Sarkar, NID. The use of triangular form and the wings of an airplane together as a form instantly makes connections with airports. The upward accent of the triangle depicts the vision of AAI. The vision being to upgrade, develop, maintain, manage civil aviation in India.

2. Computer Maintenance Corporation (CMC), Designer: Arun Kolatkar, Moulis : The logo for the information technology, services and software company (now known as CMC Limited) was designed in 1975. The logo depicts the concept of integrated systems engineering as a unit. The geometric shapes forming letters C, M and C express the image of information technology, integrated services and modern engineering in a simple and effective way. The upward arrows creating the visibility of letter ‘M’ compliments the word ‘maintenance’. The geometric square used to create joined letterforms makes the logo a balanced, harmonious unit concept. The form is minimalistic, but at the same time follows the principle of ‘less is more’.

3. Doordarshan, Designer: Devashis Bhattacharya, student of Visual Communication, NID (as part of classroom exercise) :Born on September 15, 1959, the logo celebrated the first launch of program broadcasting in India. It is believed that around 180 TV sets were sold in 1959 (the year when television came to India). The design emerged from the hands of a visual communication student at NID, as part of a classroom exercise to create logos. Doordarshan was considered one of the largest broadcasting organizations in the world in terms of studios and transmission development. The classic form elucidates the identity that stands firmly till date.

4. HDFC, Designer: Yeshwant Chaudhary, Communica : The characteristic logo for Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited came into being in 1977, with the company’s aim to provide long-term financial loans for home ownership. The geometric design of the logo in simple colours of black, white and red make it strong as a symbol. The letters H.D.F.C. also following the same geometric style, placed below the logo unifies the concept of housing loans. Security, preservation and trust are the words that come to mind while viewing the logo. It also encaptures the objective of HDFC as a professional service that aids support to people of India with integrity.

5. Hindustan Petroleum, Designer: Sudarshan Dheer, Graphic Communication Concepts : Designed in 1974, the logo for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) celebrates the “Club HP” concept i.e. High-quality personalized “Vehicle and Consumer Care”. The slogan Future full of energy complements the design of curved lines joining together like a stream of energy fuel being poured into the vehicle. The visual forms connect with the concept instantly. Additionally, colours of Red used the bold initials HP with blue circle and lines provide clear combination, reasonable contrast between letters and shape giving the logo a marked elegance. The symmetry makes the form balanced and simple.

6. Logo - Welcome Group, ITC Hotels, Designer: R.K. Joshi, Ulka Advertising : The design was a mark of extension of ITC to hotels in 70s. Surrounding the theme of ‘truly Indian’, ITC gave the name of ‘Welcome group’ to its chain of hotels. The letter W beautifully envisages the ethos of Namaste (the Indian traditional gesture of expressing ‘Welcome’). Conceptually, the form elucidates a universal form to accommodate India that unifies different cultures and religions as one whole.

7. Operation Flood Symbol for National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Designer: Vikas Satwalekar, NID : Designed by Vikas Satwalekar in 1970-71, the drop logo symbolizes the Operation Flood movement started by Verghese Kurien for National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). The White Revolution changed the face of dairy functioning in India, giving livelihood to thousands of milkmen in Anand. The timeless simplicity of the drop signifies the value of milk, its sustenance by and for people of India, making India the largest producer of milk in the world.

8. Punjab National Bank (PNB), Designer: R.K. Joshi, Ulka Advertising : Designed in 1984 , the design with letter captures the ethos of the letter in Gurmukhi to conceptually complement Punjab National Bank (PNB). The orange colour also compliments the Indian ethos and traditional image. The Gurmukhi letterform enclosing a circle compliments the identity of PNB as a nationalized bank (system of the bank under the control of government).

9. SBI भारतीय स्टेट बैंक , Designer: Shekhar Kammat, NID : The logo for State Bank of India, India’s largest commercial bank was designed on 01 October 1971. As an initial response to the circle form with an open hole, it looks like a key-hole. But, the real concept behind the design being that the circle encloses a common man inside at its centre. The common man represents the centre of the bank’s business. The circle signifies the service of trust, security and perfection for the common man. Moreover, the slogans With you all the way and The banker to every Indian support the idea of serving the common man as the epicenter of its activities. This logo is a unique example of how to create a quality of a concept with most basic geometric form of design i.e. the circle.

10. Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), Designer: R.K. Joshi, Ulka Advertising : The logo for the largest integrated Steel and Iron producer, SAIL was designed in 1973. SAIL has laid a sound infrastructure for the industrial development of the country with its integrated steel plants.

The solid rhombus used enclosed within the triangle seems to agree with the fact that SAIL stands to infuse high level technical and managerial expertise.

11. TITAN, Designer: Sudarshan Dheer, Graphic Communication Concepts : The logo was designed in 1987 with the joint venture of Tata Group and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) to form TITAN Industries. TITAN exports watches, accessories and jewellery in both modern and traditional style designs. The most attractive aspect of the logo is the play with letter ‘T’ creating a circular hallow around it.
