The Triplet Logo: A Bastard Child!

Triplet Logo Design is a Bastard! It came outta nowhere (when I was attending a boring office meeting) and I sketched it and just kept on revamping it. It came out as a simple Bar Design when I sketched it and I decided to add some 3D feel to it when I revamping it. The Colors, apparently, represents RGB...So it could be a logo for a Studio or Multimedia Service Agency. I deliberately made the GREEN bar bigger than the others coz GREEN is what drives most of us. :P
The name was the difficult part. I went on trying RGB, TRIO and stuff concerned with THREE and Colors and BARS. None, I felt, suited the design...Finally I got the name 'TRIPLET' and a suitable tagline to go with 'Good things always comes in Three'... Get it? (horny!) :P
Font used is GOTHAM BLACK.... As I am so love with it after seeing the Inception posters!

The Tadpole Toys Logo

The Tadpole Logo another "bastard child" from the same meeting. The sketch was so much cuter than the logo...Or so I suppose! But the over all logo design turned out just the way I visualised it to be. Even the Violet shades! The 'toys' was later added though. I felt it too be too cute and wanted kids to adore this little tadpole...usually I felt they are gross! :D
Font used: Two Turtle Doves

DeathNote

DeathNote has been in the Design phase for sometime now.
I mean I sketched it a month back...when I was going thru that disturbed phase (On 2nd thot...wen wasnt I ever distrubed? LOL). So it had remained a sketched since then....ie until today morning. When I suddenly opend Photoshop and started working on the sketch....and within like 4 hours...VOILA.... Mr. Boone is writing his Deathnote in Digital!
I know with 4 hours...It still doesnt look polished...like 'Abducted Wire'. Or Maybe its just me! See the original sketch here

Coffee Time!

Aah yes Coffee...what could be more refreshing than a cup?
Warm to hold the cup and when u place yours lips on the rim of the cup the warmth just flows into u...making u feel all rejuvenated...
Was just feeling bored and was completely sitting 'jobless' at office and it hit me...I didn't do much personal work last 2 months. Oy vey! So I started working on this. I know I had a great concept in mind....But I guess this is kinda faulty execution. Completely done in Photoshop CS4 in under 2 hours!

Oh btw make it a Hazelnut Mocha for me! :D

Inception: Wallpapers

Still clinging on to the marvelous movie experience that was Inception.
So went onto create some wallpapers for my laptop.

So I thought to share them too, to all those Inception fanatics like me.

Inception: Random Muses

INCEPTION, will soon become a cult classic and sooner than you think. Its similar to the likes of The Matrix. Yes, Inception vastly reminded me of The Matrix...though I am not comparing both. Upon watching Inception, I found the same old craving that the Matrix induced in me....to watch it over and over again. I had been seeing a lot of recent movies and I was sad that none of it stuck in my mind...it was like, the moment I finished seeing those movies...I forgot about them. But I fear, now that I have already seen Inception, I'll be obsessed with it for years to come the same way I was obsessed about The Matrix.

Christopher Nolan's a proven director with his talents in intellectual movies such as Memento, The Prestige and already proven his skills at revamping the Superhero genre with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Though this time he breaks all moulds of doubt that he's one of the best filmmakers of this century. I thought how the hell he came up with this kind of story.

Nolan has always been ambiguous in his movies... Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige...all had its fair share of ambiguity in it. As such Inception also has it...I was actually confused for a second or so though I happily embraced that ambiguity.

Yes, Nolan made the movie complex and unlike Matrix which had a cosmetic layer of action sequences, VFX and CG to mask the brilliantly intellectual content that is within, Inception was pure science and fiction and less VFX/action sequences so some people was obviously bored...add to that the long duration of 150 minutes people who already wasn’t in sync with story had nothing to sit through it and was left alone to assume and ponder what was it all about, throughout the 150 minutes. I am not telling that the VFX and CG wasn’t good...It was simple and elegant and didn’t go over the top and exaggerated...it was the right pinch of salt for a fine broth.

The day before I went to see the movie I had an argument with one of my friends and asked him to see the previews and synopsis from the website and he refused to. I told him he'd be gaping at the visuals wondering how or what the hell happened if he didn’t pay attention to the movie. I ended up telling him the synopsis myself. I myself admit that I have a lot of doubts to clear up and I know I am going to watch this movie over and over again...so that the clouds and assumptions clear up.

Most of the dream stuff explained in the movie was actually things that some of us had already thought about. I, for one had always been asking my friends if they ever experienced the 'The Kick' way back in 2005...or that 'if only we could record or experience each others' dreams. Everything is explained in this movie and Nolan made a splendid job...in portraying those visually. The real stunner was the syncing ‘The Kick’ between '3 Dream within Dreams'...and WHOA IT BLEW MY MIND! That kind of perfection can only be attained by Nolan.

The Cast was perfect for this movie...though Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Arthur), Tom Hardy (Eames) & Ellen Paige (Ariadne) stands out. Leonardo (Dom Cobb) played an amazing persona and like many others I felt the same that he continued his role from the Shutter Island. Although Marion Cottillard had a few minutes of scene-space, she, all though perfect for Inception, stood out as 'disturbing' throughout and gave a chill down my spine every time I saw her. Somehow she reminded me of Samara (The Ring) or Alma (F.E.A.R)...idk why! Ken Watanabe also got his fair share of screen time and he did it so well. Cillian Murphy served her role well as the ‘Mark’. I had no complaints with anybody whatsoever except, Michael Caine, who got a little less time.

Hans Zimmer has already worked wonders with the background score perfectly matching that of the visuals. I have been hearing Inception OST for the past week, even before the movie release. And I loved 'Dream is Collapsing', the action driven 'Mombasa' and the penultimate 'Dream within a Dream'. Sadly what I missed hearing was the score from the 3rd Inception trailer with an equal mix of action, thrills and drama. It was not found on the disc. I have been humming these tunes on my way back from the movies and I am sure it will entrance me for months to come.

There's still more I gotta write about this wonderful movie and the experience I went through .Though if I go on, I fear I might let out some spoilers. I guess I have to find another time to go on brag about Inception more. Go on, everybody you are in for the ride of your life time. Just seeing this movie once wont do it or yourself justice. I felt merely assuming the story of this brilliant film will never let you enjoy it...so don't just assume INCEPTION. Let it try and incept the most resilient parasite in your mind.

5 Out of 5 Stars

Let it Play: Me & The Music!

To start off with I love music...be it whatever language that is...though as always I like the movie compositions the most...Modern Rock, Smooth Jazz, Trance and Fusion to accompany.
While at the movies, many of my friends ogle at the SFX and cinematogrpahy and awe at the story...I enjoy the music as well. I mean I'd be like "Dude...the music from Sherlock Holmes' fuckin amazing....especially in that title sequence...did u hear the composition" and they'd be like "Yeah (meh!)...the scene was brilliant" and go on bragging about the lights, story and everything else.
The number of 'let-downs' Iv got from my friends regarding music were innumerable.

I, though remained listening and re-listening and relishing the music from the motion pictures. Imagine watching an action movie without all the music...it'll drain off the thrills, chills and adrenaline rush.

I remember when i was a kid...i used to record theme songs frm TV via my dad's FairMate tape recorder. I used to keep it near the TV speakers and record the theme...with utmost precision and when the cassette is filled with songs. I named in CarTunes...or something. Used to be crazy about theme's from SwatKats, Jonny Quest, Lion King, PocaHontas, Ninja Robots, Quack Pack and all. Cant recollect much...
I'd like to list out some of my favorite composers from Holly
wood.

The Sackdoll!

Another Character sketch done in the past two weeks.














This here is SackDoll. He was Little Johny's favorite toy until The Sackdoll, lost his nerves due to depression and grabbed a butcher knife and killed Little Johny. The Sackdoll chopped Little Johny to little pieces...its jute hand filled with blood, gore, chunks of flesh and other bodily fluids.
I guess I am too depressed....Better stop narrating now!

This has been lingering in my thoughts for sometime.
Innocence - Evil - Murder all woven into one god damn SACKDOLL.
And Guess wot it did now...It KiLLS!
Come to think of it now...Reminds me of Chucky somehow..

World of Ashes

I began writing again...
Depression, obviously, being the Catalyst.
So here goes...

Nights of Loneliness,
Days of Despair,
A world that awaits,
Filled without Aspire.

Banquets without appetite,
Times devoid of thirst..
My Life'd be the first,
Like a brittle stalactite.

Breezes feeling scorched,
Breath scented parched,
All that invites me,
Are whiffs of smoke
And a world of Ash.
