Dindi, pilgrimage to Pandharpur (Lord Vishnu Temple), followed by millions of Varkari (a pilgrim) is a unique aspect of culture in Maharashtra.

Need to be thought on what A BALASUBRAMANIAM has said. I strongly support the point he has made in this post!
Today’s list of Padma awards are out and there is no designer, still, in the list. I blogged about this, last year as well. The government finds it fit to recognise Ajay Devgn’s work as worthy of an award but not any of the design stalwarts, who used design to bring about long-lasting changes in society and the profession. To provoke a discussion on the subject, I present here, my list of Padma awards, deserving for design. This is of course, only the beginning. There may many more that I may have missed.
H Kumar Vyas, Design Educator, Ahmedabad 
H Kumar Vyas deserves a Padma award for pioneering Design education in this country and giving a distinct Indian touch to the curriculum that was launched at NID, when the design programmes began. He continues to influence and contribute to design education, through his books and research.

A great resourse for the students, professionals in the area of gaphic design. Dr. Paula Dimarco has created this resource using the teaching materials, classwork, students projects and relavant links to the others work. Many pdfs, VDOs, hand on sessions answer all the queries related to the subject. She teaches many courses at CSUN (California State University, Northridge), they are Computer Graphics, History of Graphic Arts, Production Design. The guidlines mentioned for the project work are very useful and clear the fundamentals of the design process. I really cleared my fundamental concept of LOGO Design using the resource she shared. There are tutorials, tips, practice sessions on Photoshop Illustrator also. We can take scheduled course at this webpage. Learn Poster Design, Logo Design, Branding and many things at a single point. I am sure that this is one of the best design resource for gaphic arts on internet.
I would like to thank Dr. D. for inspiring me to learn and practice more deeply, understanding many aspects of Logo Design.
