Graphic Designs for ACM NIT Surat




During pre-final year of Computer Engineering at NIT Surat, I took over the responsibility of graphics/poster design activities of ACM Chapter NIT Surat. Below follows my work and experience during their creation.

EPIPHANY! Online Coding Competition of SVNIT. This one's quite geeky actually. Solely based on idea generation. All I did is take a screenshot of my terminal window, added some spices and peppers from Iron Man, and final touch using idea of console based applications.

Orientation Programme poster for ACM Chapter - NIT Surat. Idea was to connect every single student irrespective of his/her branch. I used several human shapes and connected them with ACM logo. That's it! Implementation was a little tough though!

Then came one of the biggest event by our ACM Chapter, Quest 2013. There were several events like CodeWars, Capture the Flag, AI Challenge etc. We needed a website and I had to design the interface for that. Below are few screens of the interface I proposed and was implemented by the team.

Then again a poster for in-house publicity. A poster that accommodates all the events in one. First of all, created a circular-maze like frame and used it everywhere applicable. Several relevant icons according to the event were used inside this frame. Felt like that's enough, its already looking crowded with a little description about each event.

Basic C Workshop. A feel of C Programming was needed for this one. The background works well, 'C' was fixed in the poster as if it was meant to be there :-p. Used some translucent text for the keywords of C program and opaque text for real information.

Again, Epiphany. This time it was hosted on CodeChef.com and had to keep dimensions according to their requirements. Focused on keeping it clean and flat and professional.

Also, there was time when we needed a T-shirt. It was way to tough to come up with a smart idea for it. We outsourced it to juniors to come up with an idea and then I simply implemented the following for which everyone settled.

Yet another Epiphany! This time it was around January 26th, Republic Day of India. And I came up with this idea. It looks simple and attention grabbing if you ask me :-p One important thing to notice, I didn't use as much as "blue" I used in all other designs. :-D

Android Workshop. I'm getting over the "blue" and trying different colours and shades. It is green this time. Actually its android that inspired me to choose green. Seems like the perfect match for android poster.

Web Development Workshop. Used several sizes of screen to indicate that its going to be dynamic website building workshop. Also icons of several languages which were going to be taught in the workshop. On the first glance it feels like if it is something related to web, and that is enough to grab attention of targeted people.

And finally, hopefully the last major event of this year by ACM Chapter, ACM Fair. People have to show off what they built, as simple as that. Any app based on any platform can be presented. And I'm back with my "blue" :-p

A poster about interactive talk session. Went completely flat a shade of purple. Left some white space around, which actually gives a feel that the poster is clean even though there's quite enough text populating it.

The end of our era. Time to choose new committee and hence a poster for that too. Clean and Effective with a perfect message for the interested candidates.
And that was officially my final work as a part of ACM NIT Surat Chapter 2013-14 Committee. Actually there's one more, the Certificate, but can't publish it for security reasons.



There are some more designs, I'll upload them on my leisure :-)
