The following is an upshot of a two week module on 'Visualising Personal Design Identities' conducted by
Cathy Govan and Fiona Ferguson from Glasglow during the Open Electives week at NID that I participated in.
We discussed about our creative identities and artist books as a form of expression.
‘Dilemma of a young designer' is a hand made journal of sorts that attempts to share the conflict running in
my mind about my creative identity. The theme also widened as I moved from exploring my identity to identity
of Indian Design in general. As the module progressed, the questions moved out of my head, into classroom discussions and further intothe campus as other people’s opinion poured in.
The result? A variety of opinions, a bank of ideas…no conclusion but an invitation for further discussion.
