Project Navigation

The Navigation is the visual map to see the message. It draws the path for the viewer and suggests where to go after each section. and what to raed after one another.

I-Pad Application: For the Project Navigation, an I-pad application was designed and the target audience for this application was the normal people who are not designers but still wants to know what designers learn in the designing school. " The journey of the semester I" is the title of the application.  All the description is non designer so that people can understand in general what all the elements of design are there around them. Whole design was divided in two parts: Black & White and color. Here black and white part shows the learning stage where the elements are not arranged properly or without designing while the colorful part shows how and where the designing capacity reached after getting knowledge. On landing page the two different buttons are given which will take directly to the stages named
"Learning" and "Designing". The black and white images changes dramatically with a tint of color and ends up with a colorful world. This is a surprising element which draws the viewer's attraction.
The navigation is showed with the square block of solid color or with the negative space. The navigation path draws the attention of the reader from page to page though no page is divided in page after page manner.
All the information or the pictures are from the blog but still the information is different due to different target audience.
A bunch of squares takes the reader to the blog for some more information regarding that element and a diamond near the name of the element, takes them to the project which was done for that element.

3D: For the 3D project the whole application was presented in a way that one can touch and feel what is it all about. To Continue the square theme, the dice was taken as a product and the outer part was designed with black and white learning stage. One side is with tint of some color, encouraging the viewer to open that box. While he opens the box, again the world blast with color and ends the journey from black and white to the colorful world and the dice became box, inside out folding. The joints of the box is stick together with magnets so it will allow the box to be converted inside out and black and white dice will become the colorful box. 

facts behind gaining weight

Are you doing everything to lose your weight and still gaining weight? Are you strictly eating everything that says ‘low fat’, or have a diet of two tomatoes and 1 boiled potato per day?

People have always associated fitness with fat loss or weight loss. In the struggle to achieve success overnight, they tend to subject their bodies to several kinds of abuses including rigid crash diets and ‘low fat’ binging. However, they don’t realize that bad eating, wrong diets and above all several other factors, non-related to food could be the potential reasons for your weight gain.

Let’s elaborate top six of them.

What happens when you diet
If you think that by eating sparingly for fifteen days, you will get back in shape, then its utter rubbish! Bodies that go into sudden starvation mode tend to save more calories than burn it. The body is like a system, which needs fuel to conduct basic metabolic activities, including burning of fat. Hence, when there’s no food or fuel, as the body saves the existing energy instead of utilizing it.

Watch what you eat!
Similarly, binging on ‘low fats’ labelled food, is bound to make one gain weight. Most of such food products have high levels of sugar, which add to the calorie count and therefore, explain the weight gain. Hence, instead of going for such foods, resort to fresh home cooked foods for weight loss. Don’t forget to avoid the junk food at all cost

Sedentary lifestyle
Maybe you are eating right, but are simply failing to shed those kilos. It’s time to pay attention to your activity levels. Having a sedentary, lazy life or being a couch potato can be one of the reasons behind those excess tiers around your tummy.
Switch to an exercise regimen that is well suited for your body. If you are not an exercise person, then cultivating a few sport activities may be helpful. Try yoga, swimming or jogging or dancing to lose weight. A simple brisk walk of 45 minutes a day can help you as well.
Check your medicines
Some medicines have side effects of weight gain. You need to check with your GP, to confirm your fears. If possible, get him to prescribe other medicinal substitutes that do not have such side effects.
Sleeping patterns
Are you becoming an owl lately? Maybe it’s the reason behind your saddle bags! Switch to normal sleeping routine. Irregular sleeping patterns disturb body metabolism and result in weight gain.
Quit drinking
Excess drinking spoils and fattens the liver, making it sluggish in process. Being the chief blood detoxifier and fat metaboliser, it is unable to perform both the functions. This results in gaining weight and skyrocketing new heights of obesity.
Next time, when you feel you are fat, just try and throw some light on the above mentioned factors. If everything is fine, then maybe it’s time to get yourself medically checked for a better understanding of your body’s metabolic health.

Charles and Ray

Charles and Ray Eames are among the most important American designers of this century.  They are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design (e.g., the Eames Chair), industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts.

Charles and Ray married in 1941 and moved to California where they continued their furniture design work with molding plywood. During the war they were commissioned by the Navy to produce molded plywood splints, stretchers and experimental glider shells.  In 1946, Evans Products began producing the Eameses' molded plywood furniture.  Their molded plywood chair was called "the chair of the century" by the influential architectural critic Esther McCoy.  Soon production was taken over by Herman Miller, Inc., who continues to produce the furniture in the United States to this day.  Another company, Vitra International, manufactures the furniture in Europe.  In 1949, Charles and Ray designed and built their own home in Pacific Palisades, California as part of the Case Study House Program sponsored by Arts and Architecture Magazine.  Their design and innovative use of materials made this house a mecca for architects and designers from all over the world. It is considered one of the most important post-war residences built anywhere in the world.
