DELHI IN SMOG by Ganesh Yadav

DELHI IN SMOG



Hello World !! This is my first blog. Before telling you about my work I would like to say a few things about me. My name is GANESH YADAV. I am a Delhi based Graphic Designer and I've done my Bachelors in Computer Science from Indira Gandhi National Open University. I've always liked graphic designing and VFX since my school days. During my graduation, I was learning the technicality of graphic designing from Youtube videos. But with the help of Youtube videos, I only could learn limited things and it did not fulfill my requirements for becoming a good designer. That’s why, after completing my graduation I joined ARENA ANIMATION Malviya Nagar New Delhi to upgrade my skills in graphic designing.


Here, in ARENA ANIMATION I learnt how to handle software and their tools related to graphic designs. Here, my first software was Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 6.

Initially, I've learned the basics of graphic designing and Adobe Photoshop CS6 then how to use tools, what are the uses and functions of those tools. They started by giving small assignments.

On my learning period, they taught me how to make a matte painting. Making a matte painting, was a quite challenging task because the image that I thought about was very difficult to find. Because in some images the perspective does not match and in some images, the lighting was not up to the mark.


Matte painting is all about your thoughts and concepts. How we perceive things. To matte painting we only need to have two or more images, we put it all together on a single frame by making a combined image that we want to present.


Then, I thought to make something that could show how SMOG has affected Delhi and its people. The whole city got covered in SMOG. In my concept, I tried to show that only one monument was left in the city, and a man is hiding in the cave and watching the monument from there. This thought came into my mind because Delhi was badly affected by SMOG. The term SMOG is a combination of two terms: Smoke and Fog. And when these two combine together which leads to SMOG.


Due to SMOG, the air gets polluted. The quality of the air was poor. The level of pollutants (PM 2.5) was also very high which is very dangerous for human lives. The numbers of asthma patients were increasing exponentially. The SMOG also affected visibility. In some places, the visibility was less than 100 meter. And the scene near the Yamuna Expressway was frightening, where 24 vehicles hit one another at the same time.


It was very difficult for me to make a Matte painting which could show the bad effects of SMOG, and the picture I have made related to Smog’s side effect. I went through many search engines to find the images that would fit in my frame but I found nothing special. As I am not a professional photographer so that task became more challenging. After many efforts, I finally got what I wanted. And then I completed my Matte Painting which was showing harmful effects of SMOG and the man sitting at the cave was watching the only visible monument in the city.


So that's all for now, time to sign out.

Understanding the Meaning of Grief By Katherine Lightwood

Understanding the Meaning of Grief By Katherine Lightwood  A constant gnawing that feels like that you have rocks churning in the pit of your stomach. Absolute exhaustion after sleepless nights. Unpredictable and sometimes uncontrolled crying or being completely emotionless. Feeling so bad that you question whether you will ever feel better.  If you ever feel this way then you are not alone. It doesn't matter where you live, work, how much money you have or how you vote. Man or women, adult or child when you lose someone important, you grieve. Although we all grieve at one time or another, our individual grief experiences often differ. For one thing, there are many kinds of losses and the feeling each evokes are very different. Not only is someone's reaction to loss is very unique, their individual experiences matter too, how they manage grief. There's no magic wand to wave to make the pain go away. But we can gather knowledge to help understand how ...

Last Verse of the Setting Sun By Katherine Lightwood

Last Verse of the Setting Sun By Katherine Lightwood Frozen wind and the scarlet light, The day sets with a silent demise. Giving the promise of a beautiful tomorrow, Till then, the meadows will drench in sorrow. Holding light but very tight, The demons of the night are dancing in delight. Under the shadows, hiding in the night, A beating heart that starts to recite... Melancholy lore of a broken kind, Lore of winning wars that were left behind. Lore of valor and cruel tragedy, The lore was sung by sweet maidens with a silent melody. Lore of brave soldiers who would come home, Their tale would be cruel like the gladiators of Rome. But now, the fire is dead, With few sparks burning, but the ashes are sad, And there's no light, in this frozen night, As they say, demons of the nightmare are dancing in delight. Now they say the light will come, with the turn of the sun, The warm breeze will blow, over the meadows, it will run. Will the light come... Or ...
