IDC school of Design
IIT Powai
1997-1999

M-Des Year 1

The 4 semesters that I spent at IIT were a game changer for me in my career. Here is the list of projects I worked during my tenure there.
Semester 1 and 2 were same for all, where group activities took place in various subjects like design theory, Information design, representation techniques, Photography, Typography, Semantics and lot more.

M-Des Year 2

This was a multimedia for edutainment. That was the word back then. This was targeted at the 10th Std students covering Physics as a subject. I tried to make it content rich and use the power of visual and animation design to explain the science.

I used director which I was good at and did all the programming myself. I made a tangible deliverable at the end of the semester and presented it to the Jury. My scores are mentioned in the CV for reference

There were research topics floated and we were to pic up those and publish a research report at the end of the project. I picked up the "Graphic File format" in the computer domain. I covered the following topics in the report:
What is a file format
What are the 3 main fields where the graphic file formats are used
Print media, Web or screen format, and multimedia
Examples and attributes of file formats
Impact on image quality
Selecting appropriate format
I also made a fordable quick reference guide for the same.

This project was actually an internship at a real software firm. The job however was to design exhibition panels for an event in Germany where this firm was participating as a exhibitor.

The duration was 1 month during the winter vacation and at the end of which we had to produce a report documenting all the work we had done in that month.

This was the final project before the final jury. I picked up a subject of my own. This was the year 1999 and my topic was Online TV guide. Apart from the regular listing of the channels and the programs, I also had included channel animations, Program video thumbnails.

In the feature list I also had considered about the reminders that a user can set and would have the options to receive those via e-mail, Pagers, later via cell phones.
