Dear All, Soumitri Varadarajan (NID Alumni, Ex IITD Faculty these days in RMIT Melbourne, Australia) is doing a project on documenting Indian design called Simply India. The project has a facebook group called Simply India. You can join that to help him with his project. He also has a blog called Simply India where he writes a bit and will be putting up all the results of his documentation work from the project. Also in the blog is a sample sketch of a designer - and he plans to do many more over the years. He has written to me to publicize and send out information about a survey he is conducting as part of this project. So that more people can do the survey and he can get more comprehensive information for his project about the design scene in India today. This is the link to the survey: http://indiadesignnow.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/designer-survey/ It is an electronic survey and Soumitri informs me it is very quick and easy except for two detailed questions. Thank you Praveen Nahar Associate Senior Faculty NID MDes ID-IITD (Batch of 1994) Ex Faculty IDC (1998-2002) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
