I wear my design

Designers have a mixed emotions over the concept of custom shirts. The custom shirts are actually good in the sense that all the people get to design their own shirts. Also it kindles the designing skills of a person. The flip side of the custom shirts is that the designers lose out on their share of designs. Those designs which would have otherwise created by a designer could not be done because of the “I wear my design” concept. Keeping this aspect apart, also there is another positive aspect in to it. The designers also get to design a marvelous piece of shirt and either wear for themselves or sell it at a good price. This privilege always vests upon the designers community.

Debt haunts designers also

Debt is a universal problem and the real problem is that there is no universal solution to it. Every sphere of life we find the debt issue and every individual fighting his or her way out of the debt. The same is in the world of design. The world of designers is also filled with debts. The real problem lies in the fact that designs are not considered an asset when it comes to lending money. The designers do not get the option of mortgaging their art and design works to the banks or other financial institutions. The true value of a design or art is known only when the product is out for an auction or is on sale.

The other haunting factor about debts is that the designers like me are less aware about the debt management methods. There is a need for an external agency or person to manage the debts and our funds. There comes the support of institutions like Clear Debt who offer packages like IVA to help manage the debts in the apt manner. IVA is the abbreviation of Individual Voluntary Arrangement. Through IVA we get an option to legally make arrangements to clear our debts. The designers out there who have felt the same way as me can now find a quantum of solace through IVA and other debt management tools.

Suddenly Something

Last week, I was in search of something unique to buy for my brother for his 50 birthday. As he is not a tech geek I knew any new product from the market will be a waste on him. While going through the Artifacts Gallery, I stumbled upon an amazing piece of watch. You might ask what is there in a watch but this is different.
This is a Unisex watch made by Watchcraft. It is made of weathered and oxidized mixed metals. The watch is the work of American artists and Craftsmen. All the watches are engraved with an individual serial number. The company keeps track of all the after sales details with the help of this number. The watch is 13/8’’ in diameter and comes with an adjustable band.

When you wear this watch in hand you feel that you are carrying a piece of rare art, an antique. It is sure to win you some new friends as you sit down for your daily coffee in the cafeteria. I knew this would be the perfect gift for my brother. So I just went ahead and ordered the watch from the Artifacts Gallery. The watch cost me $240 and it really was a fulfilling catch.

Bringing in Some Light into your Life

In this fast moving life one gets bogged down by the pace of it. One tries to get some peace from this entire malady. Some take a vacation others simply burn themselves out. I took a vacation and that led me to discover the power of colored glass over your emotions.State house Rotunda

I visited the State house Rotunda which is located in New Jersey, United States. The State Capitol Building is a work of art inside and out. The rotunda is surrounded by stained glass and eagle lines in the balconies. The dispersion of the light inside by the stained glass is magical. Though the stained glass was completed towards the end of 20th century thanks to the renovation work the glass looks as good as new. The paintings on the glass reflect the contemporary time of that era. I felt really awed when that evening light fell on me through the stained glass. One would feel as if he is now partaking in the history depicted on the glass. My favorite glass piece is a simple stained glass having a blue round. I believe that symbolizes an ocean, which is surrounded by olive leaves set on an iron fence. The color dispersion here gave me a nostalgic feeling.

Weigh in some power on your table

You might have felt a commanding presence when you are at the desk of a top executive or CEO of any company. Have you ever thought about the reason for that? It is nothing but the items on the desk apart from the aura of the hot shot guy. Yes it is a simple thing but one which we overlook. When I realized it I immediately went in search of that item of power. I found it in a “Paper weight”.

Surprised?! I brought a Murano hand blown paper weight which is in the shape of an Apple, reminding one of the forbidden fruit. It has got a Ruby in the depths of the crystalline apple which makes the forbidden fruit even more enticing. The moment I installed the paper weight on my desk I felt my desk grow in size of power. All the credit goes to the skills of the Seguso family artisans who have perfected the technique of hand blown glass. The red “bubble”, the green leaves and the light distortion on the table look good. It really creates an impression when you are having some serious negotiations with your client. Now that's what I call a real weight on your table.
