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.
