Cognomen of Nitin

So my friend Nitin Puri, A new born talented music producer wanted to reshape his look. For him the first desire was to get an identity mark through which he will publish his music. He triggered an alias 'nYnK'. Although unsatisfied, he also created 'Lush Garden' mentioning that each alias would be used for different genres, like 'nYnK' for trance and 'Lush Garden' for house music.

His debut EP is around the corner and trying his best to get his work done as soon as possible. So I thought of giving him a hand. Well whatever he desired, my job was to give him look, a logo which he would be able to use for his work and art, something which resembles his work and profession.

So I come up with initial idea:

Raw idea

Initially I had to make him sit and discuss what are his requirements. So we came up with the basic idea.
he find the 'nYn' pretty cool and was 'good to go' from start. But lacked some qualities, like the 'K', fine I gave it a look of digital waves but its looking like a 'K'. pretty weird from my side.

So in the next iteration, I try to make 'K' look like 'K':

Foreplay with the idea

I modded the headphones and the 'Y' just to give it more techie look. Those are the left and right ears on 'Y'. I gave a little diaphragm shape to the headphones. From my side, I was not satisfied, 'N' were cool, but the Y's jack and the wire were to be given some shape and form to fit with the aesthetics, and of course not forgetting the uneven 'K'.

I concentrated on 'Y' this time and got this idea:

wh 'Y'

I made the vertical lines bolder. But [there's always a 'but' in my mind, never satisfied :) ] what about the 3.5 jack? It didn't fit with the theme. they are just boxes going small.

It's always good to find something out of your process and tryout different. So out of the way I went to just drawing something and came up with this:

Everything fits Perfectly

I find it pretty cool out of the way. and Nitin said " 'y' does not looks 'Y' ". Damn! maybe he's right, but I'm not trying to attract the common, people who do understand would understand it, and it's not like I'm trying to convey secret messages like the Illuminati, roflmao! So I don't see whether its *not* understandable.

Moving on:

This is the final output of the process.

Finally he won't trouble me :D

Well...this is it. This is just the basic, formal improvised look, Surely I'm going to paint it :D

Stay tuned.

This Freaking Sunday

Currently It's 4:09 AM and full of sleep. Last night I overslept like 12hrs :P Had a lot of body pain and was not feeling to do anything but sleep :D

I tried going out for sometime, had a puff. Tried watching movies and American Dad, even after that I was not able to understand my impatience. What I realize that I was not trying to work or get busy with some stuff, just kill some more time relaxing. But it's our life, whatever we do, 'we do' with the constant of time passing by. Now it's up to you how you spend it. BTW, I woke up by 11am, the usual time, but was in no mood to sit before this machine today.

I started working on Enzo around 4pm. Probably, I think, I would blame all this fluctuation, because the day was Sunday. I fucking hate this day cause, first of all, mom is at home. All day long she just keep annoying about little stuff. Next thing would be the fact that it is Sunday, so some or the other person would jump back in home. One more reason would be, but I doubt it to be valid, is that in past couple of years, on weekdays we spent time in college, then we were left with weekends free, but with no activity. Maybe that state of mind still resides.

Usually I prefer spending out this day with friends, just for a ride in car or just a small walk around neighborhood [with at least two puff], or one of my favorite hobby, gaming :P I have spend a lot of time in my life playing games, and in my predicament, I have chosen games as my career. I would like to mention that I do not only know how to play games but I am also aware of the various sections of any game, how they are developed, what kind of personnel you would require [at least I know what kind of software he should know], how the whole project is managed. But the most important question is the concept. A car works only when you fuel up the tank with gas. In same manner, you would require a great story line, great concept art, great game play and interaction and finally a great look. I have spent a month thinking about this fuel. But I have also came up with a feeling that these games can be the next source of knowledge. People play games with such a great concentration that they would leave all the troubles behind and drown themselves in the depths of the fantasy. I won't say fantasy, would rather say, the scenarios, the NPC, the conversations, the wisdom involved while playing games really help the person to keep himself in other's shoes.

(I think I would continue this discussion later on when I would be in mood to type. Feeling awfully sick and sleepy)
