Nandita & Anuraag

Nandita and Anuraag are probably one of the only classic love story couples, I have ever met. And they are special! Nandita is my mum's all-new-youngest-best friend and they have done some superb projects together. Anuraag  is my dad's best friend (read SOS and gadget guru).

Nandita casually once mentioned how they wanted a nice new nameplate  (later on I came to know that in their one year of marriage, the only nameplate they ordered had spelt their names incorrectly!)  I jumped at the opportunity to be of some help!. We spoke about it a little bit and later I got to know so much more about them, through this one name plate.

What they wanted was simple. Something that represented them and the fun they like to have. I spoke to Nandita at length about what they like, what they have in common interests in. I had found my point to work on!

After a few drafts and alterations, a final design was chosen. They both are jazz lovers, so I gave them a jazz/ classic look and feel a couple of options that they could chose from. They liked one and with one odd change, the final thing was done. 

I was quite sure how the look and feel of it should be. The nameplate was made in a size that fit on an A3 and it was printed on A3 art card, a matt layer film was added and it was framed with a brown wooden frame. 

As I handed it over to them, I could see the excitement and I was told they loved it. I hope they did! The nameplate earned me a tight hug, a beautiful cup of coffee with some brilliant career talk, and almost three months supply of my favourite chocolate Toblerone (and to forget the cutest kitchen utility item ever!) 

Thank you, classic couple for this opportunity!

Thank you awesome framer in Amritsar who gave me my order in couple of hours! What a nice man! 

PS: We took pics with the nameplate, but due to privacy issues, they cant be put up!

Damini & Akshay

Weddings are always fun things! And there was a wedding in the family recently and due to 'my busy college schedule' I was unable to make it.

The person who was getting married was my sister's husband's sister (it sounds distant, but is very close) and she is one of the coolest persons I know! Her husband is equally fun and genius-ey. (If thats a word) :D

For them, I had decided earlier itself that I would make a nameplate, I wanted to give the printing bit a shot as well as see how I could challenge myself to this task. I decided to go in for a Bollywood Theme for this, because they are fun and colourful people!

I wanted to explore the idea of lettering myself and giving it a feel of a movie name. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to do the practical application of this exercise, but did a digital rendering of the same.

The final design was printed on an A3 thick, glossy card sheet (300 GSM), cut into its size, laminated with a matt finished and framed with a black wooden border. This effect made it look exactly how I wanted it too, not bold and yet bot too subtle.

A pretty cool end project and a wonderful learning experience!
