Hi,
I have cleared the 1st round of NIFT n now im preparing for the studio test at a coaching centre in Delhi. I read in ur blog (and in some others too) that the write up should preferably be in a tabular forn, highlighting the features of the model that has been created. But the faculty at my coaching, who is a NIFT Delhi alumni says there should be an interesting and different concept behind ur model.
Eg: we had to design a crown for a Miss Universe. A girl designed a crown for an alien Miss Universe who is like a superwoman for the aliens n has to save their planet from humans. This concept was more appreciated than other ‘usual’, though beautiful crowns. Everyone in my coaching comes up with amazing n unique concepts for their models but usually do not have any specific feature in them. I am realy confused. Should i focus on giving it a good n unique concept or
unique features that can be written clearly in the write up?
Pl help.
Thanku

Concept and unique features is NOT contradictory. A concept offers throws up unique features as it gives you direction. For example if you design a sofa on the “concept” of bed+sofa.. you can add ‘features” like pillow+cushions, collapsible night lamp on the armchair, etc etc
Features are often ‘functional’. So a crown that can serve no purpose apart from aesthetics is best based on concept alone. Concepts like nature.. then you can add some flower/leaf kind of elements in it; or concept of world unity where there be cross-linking type elements; or concept of modernity where you can use geometric shapes…
Obviously the write-up i secondary to what you make.

April 15th, 2011 - 17:44
workshop was last year.
April 15th, 2011 - 17:44
no.. workshop was last year.
April 18th, 2011 - 17:20
Okay.
But what i meant by concept was that my teacher insists on giving a ‘deeper meaning’ to the write-up, building up a story around that concept, which obviously cant be in tabular form. It becomes like a 50 word essay with use of decorated words and language. I don’t think the panel that comes for evaluation would read every such write-up, would they?
Like, most of the write-ups of products made by this guy at my class are in the form of a letter where the product is usually gifted to someone by the person who’s writing the letter. We had to design a paper weight for Bill Gates n he wrote in his writeup that it has been designed by a 7yr old kid to thank Gates for making computer..and he attached a small letter along with it written in a kiddish hand writing.
So that’s my main concern- writing in points n telling about ur model or like a proper 50-60word essay?
Thanks.
