Chapter 13 (BTS part 2 )

-
  Chapter 13: Behind the Scenes (BTS) - Part 2 Fast forward four years from the time I stopped writing poems. During those years, I occasionally wrote down my thoughts, but not in the form of poetry. A lot happened during that time, but that’s another story for another day. By now, my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Arts (or graphic design, as you might call it) was nearly coming to an end. With less than half a year left, I realized that although I was graduating, I wasn’t satisfied with my education. It might surprise you, but I had no knowledge of graphic design when I first started my degree. It was only as the years passed that I slowly began to learn about this field. As my graduation drew near, I was worried about my career prospects. I felt unprepared for the industry and lacked the confidence to land a decent job. I spoke with my mom and decided to prepare for a master’s degree. This was in between 2021, just after the COVID pandemic had subsided, and I was confused about my ...

Chapter 12 (BTS part 1 )

-
Chapter 12: Behind the Scenes (BTS) - Part 1 In my previous chapter, I shared with you the exciting news of publishing my first book, a collection of poems that holds a very special place in my heart. But behind that book lies a backstory—a very personal and somewhat unusual love story that I’ve only partly revealed in one of my articles on Medium . Today, I want to share more of that story with you, though I never intended to reveal this other part. But with no one else to share my thoughts with, I figured it might be better to let you in on it. Let’s start from the beginning. As I mentioned in my Medium article, I began writing poems at a very young age, around 10 or 11. Poetry wasn't a hobby or a passion per se; it was simply a way for me to capture my random thoughts. Since I had no one to talk to and no one to listen to me, writing became my outlet. My journey with poetry started quite naturally. I would jot down my thoughts and feelings in a rough copy whenever inspiration st...

chapter 11 Dropout

-
 CHAPTER 11 Dropout  Hello, dear readers! You might have been wondering what's been happening and why there's been a bit of silence on my blog. Well, let's just say that a lot has happened and, at the same time, nothing happened. In my last post, I mentioned that exams were approaching. But here’s the surprise twist: I decided to drop out of my design university. Yes, you read that right. It was a tough decision, but let me explain why it was necessary. First and foremost, I felt that the university wasn't offering the value I had hoped for. I wasn't learning anything new and it felt like a waste of money. To add to that, I fell ill because the hostel water didn't agree with me. My health took a downturn, and I ended up developing lactose intolerance due to the constant sickness over the months. Dropping out was heartbreaking because attending a design university had always been my dream. But the reality was far from what I had envisioned. Those college days wer...

Chapter 9 All about VID (visual interface design)

-
Image
 Chapter 9  So, as I was talking about VID (visual interface design) in the previous chapter, VID is nothing but an interface design. As you can see in the picture below Visual interface is a digital interface or UI of any digital screen.  Let me explain with an example : Imagine you're designing a website for a new pizza place. VID, or Visual Interface Design, is like dressing up that website to make it super eye-catching and easy to use, just like choosing the perfect outfit for the pizza place! Here's how it works: Colours and Fonts: Picking the right colours and fonts is like choosing the coolest shirt and pants for the website. You want the colours to be inviting and appetizing, maybe like warm reds and yellows for the pizza theme, and fonts that are clear and easy to read, like a fun, chunky one for the headlines. Layout and Images: Think of this as arranging the furniture in the pizza place. You want the website to be organized, with the menu easy to find (lik...

Chapter 8

-
 CHAPTER  8 As I mentioned in my previous blog, I have completed my second semester. Sorry for the delay in writing this blog, I was busy with many things which I will discuss in my later blogs. Thank you for waiting so long. Now, let's start with today's blog. First, I will talk about my second semester. As the second semester began, the placement council started pressuring us to create a portfolio. For making the portfolio, we had to focus on two subjects: VID and DRM, which stand for visual interface design and design research methodology. Let's understand them one by one. First, DRM, which is all about the research we do before designing. The first thing I did was to choose a topic. The faculty told us to choose any industry that we have an interest in. I had many things in mind, such as food, education, or health, but I was not able to decide. Then, I had a thought: "There are many industries available in the market, so is it possible that there is a language in...

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 My Journey with UI/UX Learning Processes As a student in the field of UI/UX design, my journey has been both exciting and challenging. Throughout my first semester, I have learned a great deal about understanding human personas, visual narration, designing interfaces, and understanding human-computer interactions. In addition, I have attended workshops and visited exhibitions to gain more knowledge and expand my horizons to the real market. One of the most impactful experiences during my journey was attending the workshops, which were essentially design sprints. It helped me to understand how UX researchers work as a team, and we worked on sustainability goals. Although I didn't realize it at the time, I later understood the value of what we were doing. It's funny how we humans often value things later in life. As the end of the first semester approached, we had exams, and it felt like we hadn't learned anything. But dur...
