 WHAT DESIGN MEANS TO ME ?

I am satish, a student designer from the DJ Academy of Design. I come from the steel city, Rourkela,
Orissa, India.

In the next few minutes you will read about the work i have done at the DJ Academy of Design. The
stream i chose was Industrial Design. The reason for doing this was to learn about various materials and
feel them physically. After carefully observing the ways of the industry, i realized that there was an
extensive overuse of plastic for products. I chose not to be a part of this crime and thus started
concentrating more on eco-friendly products which i believe is the future.

Over my 3 years of study, i have come to realize that there are two aspects of design - A technical
aspect and a form aspect. I feel that as a product designer, i should concentrate on the form aspect of
design although keeping into mind that the technological part is necessary too. Thus my belief that Form
Follows Function. Another thing that i strongly believe in and follow myself while designing a product, is
that a good design is always a blend between material and color.
 SKETCHES & DRAWINGS

SKETCHES AND DRAWINGS: The next few pages that you are going to see are a few
FROM selected sketches done in between 1997-2008. I was more interested in human anatomy
so what you may find is more of those and some nature drawing.
1997-2008.
PENCIL SKETCHES
 COLOR & COMPOSITION

COLOR & COMPOSITION: Composition is something which is so much attached

to our day to day life that we cannot separate it. For example a nicely composed food
plate improves our appetite. And without color everything is lifeless.
SEMESTER : 1 & 2
 BASIC SHAPES

Using circles as the basic shape created a Using triangles as the basic shape created a
composition and created depth out of the composition and created progression out of
overall composition hence formed. the overall composition hence formed.
 REPRESENTATION SKILLS

REPRESENTATION SKILLS: This was a course taken at the end of the third semester which was
to understand the light and shadow while representing our concepts in front of clients. And
also various ways how we can represent different materials using colors.
SEMESTER : 3
 LIGHTER

This is a Hand Rendered lighter which was done using markers,

color pencils, dry pastels and felt pens.
The main objective in doing this object was to learn about the
representation of various materials and the play of light and
shadow.
 WATCH

This is a Hand Rendered watch which was done to explore

basically the metal finish and how to represent it.
The medium used is mainly 0.5 Mechanical Pencil and
Dry Pastels for background. Color pencils are used for the
inner detail of the watch dial.
 GREEN PRODUCTS

Green Products: The next few pages are a few products which came up as my inclination
SEMESTER : 3 towards paper and natural material. These were purely developed on my special interest
and was mainly guided by Mr Ranjan De.
ONWARDS
 BAL-GANESH

This is the paper Bal-Ganesha I made as an exploration of

paper under the Guidance of Mr. Ranjan De. The materials
used are newspaper and fevicol. Then it is coated with a
coating of touch wood so as to make it waterproof.
The process of making this paper Ganesha is basically the
additive method so the material wastage is almost zero.
 TABLE LAMP

This is the Paper Table Lamp I made as a part of the same

exploration of paper but here I took it to a higher level which
was a lot more difficult and challenging. The center of gravity
was a major problem in this case and also aesthetics of the
product could not have been ignored so I came up with this
very unusual looking form.
Again the material used in this is just newspaper and fevicol
coated with touch wood. The only alien material are wire,
bulb and the bulb holder.
 COIR -GANESH

This is a Ganesh I made out of coir and no reinforcements

were used in this for supporting the whole figure. The motif
behind using this material was I wanted to give a different
feel to the whole figure and also making it bio-degradable.

The material used was coir and cotton thread for holding
the coir together and also giving it shape. The different
body parts were held together by itself due to the form.
 NIRMAAN

This is a group work done in the campus near the café to

make the place usable using the materials collected from
the junkyard of the campus. Basically a seating area was
created and is still being used.
A upside down car was made by us and the wheels were
used for seating.
Actually this activity called Nirmaam was created by be
me and (Rohit) one of my friends where we call people
and we take some problem and solve it in a creative way
this was one of such activities.
The ultimate aim is to learn from each other.
 FORM DRIVEN

FORM DRIVEN: As I had said earlier form is something which I consider very important for
any product development so the next few pages that you are going to see now are a
SEMESTER : 3-6 few products that we did in our elements of form courses.
 PEN STAND

This is pen/pencil and brush stand basically done as a form

exploration and finding some use also in a way. Here in this
product I tried to solve the mixing of brush and pens if kept
together hence creating confusions. Aesthetics is something
which was taken into account.
The material use in this case is EPS coated with putty and
then finished. Coated with enamel paint.
 COBRA-LAMP

This is a table lamp done for the nature and form course.
Here the King Cobra was taken for study and its postures
were studied intensively. Hence came up with this form
taking into account the aesthetic and functional part.
I used LED which consume very less power and made it
wireless. It has a AC power supply port which charges the
battery. Once charged the light works for 100 hours.
 SCISSORS

This is a pair of scissors which is developed for children

between the age of 6-12 years . The form was taken
inspiration from the theme child like(left) and
energetic(right).
The color for this product was chosen after a study of
this age group. To bring in element of fun in the product
I have used 2 colors which was later liked by the age
group.
 PHOTOGRAPHY

SEMESTER : 2 PHOTOGRAPHY: The photographs that you are going to see in the next few pages are
captured on “Nikon F55”. Photography means play of light and shadow to me. The pictures
ONWARDS that you will find in the next few pages are taken from different parts of the country.
LIGHT & SHADE
MOODS
 SIMPLE PRODUCT DESIGN

Simple Product Design : To design a CELL PHONE CARRYING device for women for Indian
dresses.

SEMESTER : 4
 CELL PHONE CARRYING DEVICE

This is a cell phone carrying device for women according to the

Indian dresses(which do not have pockets). Safety of the Cell
phones was a major issue taken care of and accessing the phone
when it is still in the purse was also solved. A padded back support
was put behind on the neck portion so as the weight of the phone
gets distributed.
The phone is now near the breast area, which is the most sensitive
area to reduce theft, a transparent sheet to make the phone
accessible without taking the phone out of the carrier. The carrier is
also made of pure cotton of a range of colors which matches with
the dresses and is washable.
 PAPER WORKSHOP

PAPER WORK SHOP: This was a group project and it was basically to design the FUTURE F1
CAR. The only constrain which was there was the usage of paper.

SEMESTER : 5
 FUTURE “F1” CAR

This was a group project by Atul Nath, Pranav Kumar, Pranav. S,

and me under the guidance of Mr.N.N.Patel. We were given the
brief to use only paper and it should be a new concept.
The materials used were Japanese Ivory sheets, Fevicol, Sticker
paper and enamel paint for protective coating and finish. It was
a great learning experience starting from the designing to the
final model was done in just 3 days.
 DESIGN COMPETITION

DESIGN COMPETITION :To design a device or something which will make TRAVELING WITH
BABIES a bit more comfortable. It was a group project and we were concentrating on the
problem of traveling with babies in TWO WHEELERS specially Indian context.
SEMESTER : 6
 TRAVELING WITH BABIES

This was a group project by Atul Nath, Pranav Kumar, Pranav. S, and me. This concept was sent to the
Samsonite design competition 2008. We had taken Indian context into consideration for this project
where bikes are a common mode of transport. And it becomes really difficult when people have to
travel ob bikes with babies.

So we came up with this concept of having a baby cradle which could be fixed on to the petrol tank
of the bike. Hence the father’s can carry the kid without having an assistant for the child.

The cradle is attached to the bike with a 3-point harness which ensures its stability on the bike. In case
of roughness of roads there is a rubber padding and it also adds to the extra comfort . There is a
hood on top of the cradle so as to protect it from direct sunlight and rain. As the cradle is in opposite
direction it prevents dust from coming in and no strong wind hits the face of the child.
 INTERNSHIP

INTERNSHIP : Basically to understand the basic Industrial set up and understanding the
SUMMER working and manufacturing processed. I did mine in AUROVILLE, PONDICHERRY. In

Musical Instruments
 SINGLE RESONATOR

This is a musical instrument which I developed during my

internship. Actually there are a series of these instruments and a
person is supposed to play them with 1 or 2 sticks.

The top part is a aluminum plate which produces the sound and
the a hollow PVC pipe acts as the resonator when beaten on the
plate.

A series of these instruments where I was mainly concentrating

on the handling of the instrument as a single piece or in a group.
To bring in some connectivity between the base and top and yet
some interesting form at the end was my main motif.
 MEETING BELL

This is a musical instrument which I developed during my

internship. This is a meeting bell to be used by the
chairperson to start and end the meeting.

Here an Aluminum rod is used as the vibrating body and the

sliced bamboo acts as the resonator. The stick is used for
striking and hence the instrument resonates for around 30
seconds which is supposed to be the time where there will
be absolute silence before the meeting starts.

The cover bamboo was used so as to give a nice feeling to

the user and inside velvet for that rich look. The stick later
after use goes inside the hollow rod and box can be closed
and taken away.
 CLAY ANIMATION

Clay Animation Workshop: To make a 30 seconds animation film making a new story
board and characters. It was group project where Mayank (a communication design
student) Atul and me (Industrial design students) worked. So it was a different experience.
