NY Resolution UX www.indipool.com

It’s not a secret that everyone makes new year resolutions and also that no one sticks to them! Tons of advice is available on how to make resolutions and how to achieve them: be clear in your objectives, schedule them, break them into tasks, look for marginal improvements, etc. Sounds a lot like a design project, doesn’t it?

How about putting a simple UX process in place for your new year resolution? After all, we are designers and should be able to break into this with our design thinking abilities. This sounds very good so far, and I am sure a lot of friends will bring the sketch pens out and get to work. But, let’s make it interesting...let’s have a really specific resolution, such as losing 15 kg of weight. (Research shows losing weight is the most common new year resolution among people over 30 years of age.) Even better would be to create a poster of this process and put it up as a reminder.

ANIMATION

Drawing on experience More than 18 years in the animation industry have equipped Phani Tetali with the skills to be an accomplished academic

Pic: Prof. Sudesh Balan, IDC, IIT Bombay

How did you discover your passion for drawing?

PT: I am told that the first drawing I did was that of a cow, maybe when I was four years old. My parents were very supportive and encouraging, getting me to draw every day. I was lucky I got to read all the comic books of those times. The fun part was when I used to draw the entire comic after reading it.

Growing up, I got introduced to MAD magazine. That was my real inspiration!

I used to spend hours admiring the work of great cartoonists and caricaturists who regularly contributed to the magazine. Sergio Arragones, Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, Al Jaffe, Don Martin, Duck Edwing, Angelo Torres, Sam Viviano and Dave Berg became my heroes!

My biggest inspiration has been my uncle, Bapu, who was a great cartoonist and film director in Andhra Pradesh. Whenever he visited us, my parents would get me to quickly draw something and show it to him!

INNOVATION

HEARING THEIR CALL

As CEO of Sohum Innovation Lab, Nitin Sisodia drives his team towards innovation that meets unmet clinical needs in resource-constrained countries like India

From electrical engineering to biodesign The problems of today’s world are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach; one needs to develop capabilities to solve them with multiple skill sets. The Eames Report, which is the foundation document to initiate design education in India, stresses on creative destruction with the amalgamation of different disciplines. I am an electrical engineer who went on to study industrial design at the National Institute of Design. After a short stint with Maruti Suzuki, I joined the Stanford-India Biodesign fellowship, a flagship program of the Indian Government’s Department of Biotechnology in collaboration with Stanford University, AIIMS and IIT Delhi.

Engineering, design and biodesign gave me the capability to use different frames to look at a problem and find 28 POOL #89

FIGURES OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Illustrator and artist Abhimanyu Ghimiray discovered his calling only after acquiring a degree in business studies

‘Let them be free’; ST+Art Bangalore. Mural painting on a toilet wall, 15 x 8 ft, 2016.

What drew you to a career in art?

AG: I should have realized before joining College of Business Studies (Delhi University) that I had creative interests that I ought to explore further. Nevertheless, I’m glad that even then I filled the back of my business notes and question papers with sketches. At the time, it was just something I liked doing. I remember during an exam, an invigilator stopped near my desk, awestruck by a sketch.

In 2006, I got approached by my college magazine editor, Yavnika Khanna, to illustrate some pages for our annual magazine called ‘Pathmanjari’. I was really excited. I had to do the cover page and a few sketches. Later she suggested that I apply to the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad. I asked, “What’s that?” At the time I was preparing for CAT Exams, and my biggest fear was Mathematics. On hearing there was an entrance exam for NID, my first

FASHION

While Teresa Liasom and Utsav Pradhan are complete opposites in terms of personality, when it comes to their quirkily named label, munkee.see.munkee.doo, they seem to have settled on a happy compromise What drew you to fashion design?

TL: I was always into fashion as far as I can remember. I recollect buying second hand fashion magazines and picking out styles to get them tailored to my size since the region I come from (Imphal, Manipur) wasn’t all that developed fashion-wise or otherwise. My family, like a lot of Indian families, could not imagine a career could ever come from it. So, I was sent to a law school in Pune. After three months, I quit the school and headed to New Delhi to pursue fashion studies at Pearl Academy of Fashion.

UP: From an early age, every time I bought new clothes, I had to get them altered to my liking. I had this weird obsession with fit. I guess that’s what triggered the process of me getting into fashion. Honestly, I had no idea there was a career option such as a fashion designer until my careercounseling program in the 9th grade back in Gangtok, Sikkim. Straight after my 12th grade, like a lot of other kids, I gave it a shot, not really knowing fully what I was getting into. Fortunately, I loved studying fashion design at the Pearl Academy of Fashion, New Delhi.
