My very first Blog!

These fingers have finally begun to tip-toe the keys, printing recognizable language and this after setting up three previous unrealized accounts. In every earlier attempt, the blank white screen had left me a blank head, intimidating me; leaving me with the following predicament : 'Choosing' to write 'something'.

Marking my Territory :

Since I've spent quite few years of my life training as a product designer, and because I know little else, all my ramblings shall, irrevocably be funneled through 'a' design perspective.....

DESIGN BAIT

a BAIT is :
Something that attracts, especially with the promise of pleasure or reward: allurement, come-on, enticement, inducement, invitation, lure, seduction, temptation. Something that leads one into a place or situation from which escape is difficult: lure, snare, trap. To excite (another) by exposing something desirable while keeping it out of reach: tantalize, tease.

the BAIT is:
Any decision to undertake a design activity ( independent of the inevitability of broke-dom) often starts with an 'idea', a design 'instinct' that starts tingling oft a mere suggestion, while the brain sparking possibilities, gears up for the adrenalin, turning stray opportunity into a great design. And that which ignites, is DESIGN BAIT.

and for me as a designer as well as a user - the right BAIT is irrepressible.

what we see every day in life around us is design...in small or big things...provided by NATURE..THE master designer...from one seed of an idea to giant palm trees...from one single pearl in its casing to large multiplying animal kingdom...and the best design ever conceptualized and created.. human body..isn't thats the best bait...!!!

i wish you luck..and find that you have taken inspiration from THE MASTER it self...:)
