This document summarizes Kaushal Joshi's portfolio of work from his Basic Design course in 2009. It includes summaries of various exercises involving woodworking, model making, sketching, and more. The exercises helped develop his visual perception, creative thinking, and artistic skills. He learned the importance of respecting craftspeople and gained an appreciation for how basic design concepts and exercises can teach fundamental skills.

A journey of taking one step towards world of basic design

2. Design
the word design has many interpretations depending on the context
eg.for graphic designer, it is the visual appeal on paper or any 2nd medium,
for Mandap Decorator it is the floral arrangement, for an architect it is the
creation of spaces for particular function, for interior designer it can be
whole lot of things exe. From graphic design to creating an ambience which
architect has thought for the space.
DESIGN is anticipation of all elements which make a human being Happy and
comfortable.
DESIGN-2009
A human being perceives things and declares them good, bad or ugly
based on his senses which have matured over thousands of years. He has
reason to declare a thing good or bad.
He judges them with certain Attitudes which are called principals of
design.
All designs are centered on human beings. An animal 5’.6”to 6’.0”tall with
high intellectual level, who perceive things keeping in mind his scale & eye
BASIC
vision cone & DEMANDS PHYSICAL,MENTAL COMFORT. An object, setting,
work of art is called GOOD DESIGN only when the human accepts it. He
accepts only when he is satisfied in all respect. But, mind well, many
situations influence his decisions ex. climate, culture etc.

3. WOOD WORKSHOP
FACT FILE
Work: - 1> bamboo strips chair
2> bamboo sitting with ignu hut.
Material: - wood, bamboo, bamboo strips,
netar strips, Bamboo net, etc.
Tools: - all kind of carpentry tools.
DESIGN-2009
Members: - Kaushal, nirav, shyam, abhishek
This is the longest work among all. Or we can
call it journey to learn particular material.
And how to deal with it. so many Times we fall
down but with the moral support of Mehul sir we
could made it possible the most important thing
BASIC
which I have Learn is To respect those people
and their work who made this kind of things
because this is really time consuming work.
KAUSHAL JOSHI B.I.D (10) V.N.S.G.U

4. Process:-
At, first we have started by
just sketching our ideas, but really we don’t
know at that time how we could make it
possible..!!At starting we got big trunk so we
thought to use it in a nice way. So we had made
this kind of design.
THEN, WE STARTED TO DEAL
WITH THE TOOLS AND TRY TO CREAT OUR
DESIGN-2009
STUFFS BUT AT FIRST WE FACE SO many problems in using all carpentry
tools. So we were told to go outside and make some R&D (research &
development) about using these tools. So we move out and caught one of
carpenter and we learn all necessary things that we want so we are really
thankful to mehul sir. And even while working sometimes we thought to give
up .but he is always there to wake up us.
Some things we don’t realize at the place or at that
BASIC
Time but we could realize it afterwards.
KAUSHAL JOSHI B.I.D (10) V.N.S.G.U

5. Then we have started our work, we haven’t find difficulties in sketching
our ideas but afterwards we have to face a lot with the actual work, some
DESIGN-2009
day even we can only cut tree trunks or bamboos. At first we are about 6 or
7 groups and 2 kit of tools so, I bring our kit. At first we are just thinking
about joinery and how we gone join the whole structure. We want that whole
structure stands on the middle trunk but that’s not possible so we are
thinking on side joineries. So we thought to put two cross bamboos on the
both side. And we cut all necessary bamboos and make joinery cuts. After
every some time we put whole frame on the center wood to see is if any thing
going wrong.
BASIC
KAUSHAL JOSHI B.I.D (10) V.N.S.G.U

6. Then come for upper bamboo joints this is not
issue for us because we have decided that we will
make 2 of one bamboo and upper side we will put
visibly. So we have put it like that and our
abhishekbhai decided to tie with netar strips and
we also agree to him... And then whole structure is
visually ready.
But still this is not appropriate for sitting. It
was shaking because we forgot to Give that cross joints. So finally we
decided that when we Going to install it at that time only we make it perfect
DESIGN-2009
by struking All four sides into land.
BASIC
KAUSHAL JOSHI B.I.D (10) V.N.S.G.U

7. But, this is not enough, in our very first
design we are going to put roof over our
sitting so after installing our sitting
perfectly we are thinking that how we can
make that umbrella type of roof. But suddenly
we saw this kind of bending bamboo strips. So
found other 3-4 that kind of strips and decided
to make ignu kind of hut. And within a half a
day we make that hut. So our sitting is now
looking perfect.

8. One other exercise is individual for all.
So I have decide to make this kind of chair .i
don’t want use wood I want to again use
bamboo that’s why I have choose this
design.
I have cut all bamboo sticks and place in a
certain way that it doesn’t look like that it
was a iron chair before. So again I used
netar strips for joineries, nupur helped me
to complete this chair .

10. Hanging, linking, fixing
Even this is one of the interesting exercise, we have to make models
using this three definitions. So many different & unique models made by
DESIGN-2009
students in this exercise.
BASIC
Hanging:-
Using buff boards I have made a night lamp and made warli art
on it.

11. Linking:
I have made snake using cone structure of papers , from
colorful craft papers I have made this snake.
Fixing:
Thinking of fixing ,there is a structure of puzzle in my mind,
and I want to make puzzle , so I have use my old bike poster and make
DESIGN-2009
puzzle out of it.

12. POST CARD EXERCISE
In this exercise we were told to use 4 post
cards that is about to 1rupee, using that
we have to make a poster. Kind of a
interesting thing. We have to make two
posters.
After making poster we display it at
outside .where fine-arts students have
made mummy of terrorist. We have
DESIGN-2009
displayed our postcards and take some
snaps…

13. Negative/positive spaces with
photos
This is one of my favorite exercises, because there is photography
includes. We have to do photography in this manor... Abstract, liner, point,
reflection and shadow. And then we have to fill black ink and define
negative/positive space.

BASIC
KAUSHAL JOSHI B.I.D (10) V.N.S.G.U

21. AGAIN THIS IS A VERY FIRST EXERCISE WE HAVE TO USE SOFTDRINK
BOTTLES, GLASSES, DISHHES AND ETC.
First, we have made a wind chain kind of but sir dint found
interesting thing in it so we have place bottles at window like this
DESIGN-2009
and place cotton at top, it sims as flow of drink comes out from it.
BASIC

22. IN THIS MODEL WE HAVE
TO USE PLANE AS A SUBJECT.
SO I HAVE MADE FUTURISTIC
MODEL WHEN THER IS BIG
CHAMBERS AT CROSSING
ROADS AND ONE OF THEM
FOR LIFT & OTHER FOR FUEL
ON THE CHAMBER THER OS A
PATH FOR CHARTED
PLANES.ROAD IN THAT SHAPE
THAT AFTER SOME TIME
DESIGN-2009
PLANE AUTOMATICLY GET
TAKEOFF .
WE HAVE MADE MODEL
USING ICE-CANDY STICKS IT
LOOKS EASY BUT LITELBEAT
TOUGH WORK.
BASIC

23. THIS IS AN EXERCISE AT STARTING. WE HAVE TO
MAKE ANY THING LIKE SCULPTURE OR ANY THING WE
WANT USING 6X6 BUFFBOARD SQARES .SO I WANT TO
CREAT SOME THING DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE AND I
THOUGHT TO MAKE SOME JAYANT
CREATURE…ACTULLY I CUDNT MAKE THAT ONE BUT I
HAVE MADE THIS.
IN THIS WE HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF MAGGAZINE

31. Prespective
This is the most important topic or exercise from we have pass thrue, may
now we will not learn this from any one. At first I face some problems wid
drwing prespectives but so many of outdoor and indoor sketching make me
little perfect.
1> Campous sketches

32. 2> Outdoor sketches
We have done so many sketches at outdoor and even we Rome
so many places in out door sketches I contained Dutch & English

35. What I have learned?
Some times some basic people or basic things can teach you
more than any one else. That’s happens with me in basic design
In the process may we can’t learn some things or can’t understand
but later on you will really realize that what you missed out and
DESIGN-2009
what you have learn. My visual perception, creative thinking,
artistic view, all creates by only basic design. I was really very
bad at drawing but basic design makes me good at that. But its all
happen because of a good teachers…thank you all…
