Hey guys!
So I know I haven't posted in quite a while but I was up to the neck with final submissions, and then a very tiring month long final examinations. I have finally completed my four years in the Goa College of Art. Today was my last day of college and I am sad that this awesome adventure is finally ending as well as totally excited about what is going to come next. This college has taught me so much and I have grown so much as an artist in these four years.
Well, I feel all the all-nighters and hard work payed off in making me feel very satisfied with what I have managed to achieve and complete in this past year and I now have a complete portfolio in hand.
One of the projects that I was very excited to do was my dissertation. I chose the topic, "The inspiration behind the idea. Where to draw the line?" because all these years I was very curious about the concept of inspiration, where it comes from and the concept of copying always disgusted me. Writing this dissertation taught me a lot about inspiration, its sources, what we should do when we are stuck for an idea and where should people draw the line when gaining inspiration from other artists works that leads to unintended plagiarism.
This was my very first editorial design - that I was very excited about too. The challenges of fitting the text right, breaking up the space, creating continuity along with variety.... I loved every bit of it! Once the art work was printed and I had my baby in my hands, I felt on top of the world! I had never designed as well as written something so vast before and the challenge was great!
At first, for the cover page I had thought of a photograph of a crumpled ball of paper in full zoom filling the whole page, but while clicking the photograph this visual came to mind and I felt it suited the topic of my dissertation as well.
I would love some feedback. Waiting to hear from you all!
