Creation

I've always been a crappier at art, I can't draw a straight line, let alone a masterpiece, and it's a real shame I feel, because I have really fantastic mental images sometimes. I can, at my best, translate them into ideas which I then pen down into stories or essays or the like, but I'll be the first to admit that it's not the same. Some things are best visually represented.

I've been working for the school magazine, you see, and have thus had the opportunity to go to the printers. At the printers, there are professional designers, who are simply fantastic with Photoshop and Corel, and other design tools. They also understand quickly and immediately what it is that you want from them and put it into immediate(okay, not that immediate) action.

I'm in love with this concept, because for the first time in my life, someone exists to convert my mental images into an actual physical projection, and woo boy do they look good. They're almost exactly, and usually better than what I picture them initially to be and as a result, I have, through them created what I believe to be a work of art; the DIPS DIARY front cover.

I'd like to thank Abhijeet and Mukul (the designers) for that, it might sound really over the top, but a little piece of my life that was missing just got filled.

PS: Speaking of Artistic Beauty, do check out my latest linked thingummy, Prateek Rrrrrrrrrrrungta's Photoblog, where he has put up some of the finest displays of photography you'll see around. Screw em flikring dolts, this is the real deal.
