Behind the Scenes

Beating the Tuesday Blues - this was the simple caption given to an instagram story showcasing our somewhat haphazard yet organised work space. The table that I was sharing with Ananya, Ritika and Utsav was crowded enough with 3 laptops and 1 Ipad. Add to this notebooks, sketchbooks,the Blue issue of architectural digest, stationary, phones, wallets and other personal artifacts. The photo is simple but if only you knew of the behind the scenes efforts. The simple spontaneous picture was tweaked, objects moved around, some removed and others added (you can't miss the addition of three tastefully placed leaves in the photo)... We kept going until the frame looked just right and was ready for Instagram. We started with the initial idea and kept changing aspects of it till we were satisfied with the end result.

The process of design is rather similar too. Once the initial idea is set in stone, its all about tweaking it and refining it till we get it right. The process from beginning to end might not seem obvious, the changes oftentimes small but significant in their result. After all its the action behind the scene that makes the picture.
