Hats off to designers!!

'Patience' is the word for designers... I realised this recently while I was sitting with the design team'08 today. An uncountable number of "suggestions" from everyone who passed by, over the design of Events Brochure which will be released soon, and that too with a pinch of uncertainty over what they want. Half said and rest half expected by "everyone" to be understood by the designers. Despite all, they sat their 'kewl'... pressing 10 keys at a time, changing 100 colours at a time and managing 1000 "layers" at a time..(I learnt this term 'layer' the same day, it's something in the Photoshop :) ) Finally after million surveys and incorporating 'valuable suggestions' by everyone, we got the main page of the brochure finalised. While I was taking a look at it, I realised that the designer has tried to portray Retro in today's colourful GenNext..but then I soon realised, is it necessary that everyone think it the same way??...
think you'll answer this better...

REVEL in RETRO !!

The story behind "RETRO" as a theme for 2008

"Retro!! hmm.. nice theme" that's how every IITGian reacts at first...
but telling you frankly, it was not that easy to settle down to a theme as different and challenging as Retro!! Lets see if team'08 can justify with the theme.. :)

After long discussions with lots of innovative and illogical ideas :) , we narrowed down to these 2 themes for 2008:
1. Revel in RETRO !!
2. Go WILD!!

few others which came into discussion included "Black", "white", "Black & White" and all sorts of nonsense colours... :)

Finally, after heated discussions and long meeting sessions( of which most of you are familiar with :) ) , we settled down to RETRO!!

More coming up in next post...
