Work Experience

As a creative person who at a young age had a desire to work and become independent, at the tender age of 16 I decided to look for work that would fulfil my creative

desires and also provide me the kind of livelihood that I wanted.As someone with no technical experience then, I joined Stu-

dio Finelines in 2006 to learn and imbibe as much knowledge as I could about the world of design and animation. After much self-introspection and exploration, I found myself satisfied with where I started and thus began my journey as a designer, anima-tor and visual artist.

Working Style

An individual and his work is as good as his way of working.

I believe in a philosophy of work ethics and style that stems from a fine balance between ease and perfection. The initial step of my working is understanding the require-ment of a perspective client.

It is here, that I prefer to meet with the client rather than discuss things on the phone. It might sound a bit restrictive, but emotions and meaning conveyed in a face-to-face meeting are far more meaningful and beneficial to not only the work I will do, but also to my growth as a profes-sional.

Meeting with different kinds of individuals and pro-fessionals helps me develop my soft skills and thus contrib-utes towards the growth of

my personality in a way that will ultimately also provide my work with intellectual fodder.

A part of my work style that I am extremely proud of is an eye for detail, along with a desire to learn from all that is around me.

When it comes to logo designing, I have always un-derstood the type of industry a client is involved in so that the logo is able to radiate the core focus of the venture as I believe it is important for an individual to connect with a venture immediately after hearing its name and seeing its logo.

I hope to thus work in an environ-ment that is communi-cative and positive.

Designing logos has always been an important part of my career and can also be said to be my favourite part of work as a designer and graphic artist. Seen here, is a small part

of work that shows my design philosphy. As mentioned earlier, I try to understand the work a client is involved in so that I can in-corporate it into the logo (the logo for Manocha Earth Movers & Contractors best emphasises this - third logo in the third column on the adjacent page).

An ability that I am particularly proud of is getting the right results in the first attempt. I always take time to complete an assignment, but that isn’t because I am laid back, but it’s because I give it my best effort and present the client with options that require only an occasional minor tweak and no actual changes.

I also specialise in collateral creation like stationery, visiting cards, packaging materials, posters, banners, etc. based on the logo created or provided.

Comics

My first true test of creativity and skill perhaps came when I stumbled upon the opportu-

nity to become involved in the designing of comic books - it helped me hone my skill as a designer and graphic artist as I was involved in the end-to-end process of creating various comic books.

The first assignment, a comic book series on the Sikh Gurus and other individuals of importance and wor-ship throughout sikh history is where I learned a lot and was also involved a lot. Here, I would design the cover of the comic, set the layout of the comic (i.e., making the file print-ready - setting the bleed area and separating it from the print area), caption the various dia-logues in dialogue boxes and all other things that are involved in the creation of a comic book from a design perspec-tive. This comic book series is now pub-lished in six different languages namely, Hindi, Punjabi, English, Dutch, Spanish and Basa. Currently, I am also working on a series on the folk tales of Punjab, and 30 comics on sikh history are in que for printing and distribution.

Magazine Designs

My journey in the world of magazines began with Urban Mélange - a lifestyle magazine based out of Chandigarh, with a focus on Punjab, Haryana and the Delhi region.

Over a period spanning nine months, I designed cover pages and advertisements for the magazines, along with the stories that were to be published in the magazine. Working with a team, I learned the ways of deadline-oriented work as every month, es-pecially towards the end became a demanding period.

In the recent past, a majority of my work has been with maga-zines. La Blend, a regional magazine that focuses on incredible content and great visuals is a publication that I was involved in

from the conceptualisation stage. Over a period of almost a year, I have worked on cover pages, layout design, page setting and even advertising design for the magazine. I have also contributed to the content of the magazine by suggesting ideas to the Editorial team and have also written articles for the magazine.

Flash Games

As I continued to explore my learning curve, I came across

an employer who allocated me into the Flash animation department of his company.

The purpose of my work was to sit with a coder and design flash video games. While I was actually seeking work that I was comfortable with, I decided to join the company as it allowed me to learn the necessary soft-wares on the job and later I was also allowed to continue with work that I was already well versed with.

Over the course of the two year period that I was employed there, I designed the animation for some twenty-five games. In the process, I also learned to code the animation - creat-ing button functions and the likes.

As an animator, the true test of my skill and knowledge came when I joined the artistry team as a free-

lancer with various industry individuals that I had come to know over the course of my career.

Here again, I learnt on the job as this type of work was not something I had done before. While the technical skill was something I had knowledge of, it’s practical implementation and usage was an area that I had not yet explored.

The work, that of a clean-up artist and an inbetween artist involved the creation of the final animated image and the creation of the image of each frame that was played on screen, respectively.

Le Congres, one of the movies that I worked on is a Cannes Film Festival selection that starred Hollywood actress Robin Wright along with Paul Giamatti and Jon Hamm.

Maharaja: The Story of Ranjit Singh, another film I worked on is a project very close to my heart as it was a do-mestic project that was very well appre-ciated and commended.

Photography

Photography is a part of my work that began as a hobby and even

today, I still consider it to be a hobby. While it has provid-ed towards my livelihood on numerous occasions, I still believe that I have a long way to go before I consider myself as a professional photogra-pher.

Today, I like to call myself an amateur who loves to shoot images and videos, while learning in the process.

I have been provided with opportunities to work for products, still life, portfolios, food photography and even advertisements.

While working for the magazines, there were nu-merous occasions where I clicked images of those that were featured in the articles that were to be published in the magazines.
