Director’s Message
Dear Students & Readers!!
Welcome to our first ever eMagazine! I would like to
take this opportunity to first congratulate our Team
Members for putting in their effort and concretizing
our plans of coming out with a monthly eMagazine.
Many a times when I walk into our Arena Kankurgachi office,
I feel nostalgic and become emotional. I remember those good
old days when in January 1998, we started Arena Multimedia
(then it was named as Arena Multimedia) – Kankurgachi Centre.
It was a humble start with 6 machines and team strength of 4 people only.
But we had DREAMS!!
Dreams to GROW, to NURTURE many students, to TEACH many students, to PLACE
many students and to help them become the EARNING MEMBER of their family.
Our VISION was always very clear,
“Focus on Quality and the Results would Follow”.
This meant that we had to deliver High Standards of Teaching and Nurturing to the Students
and help them get good Placements. We did exactly that. And needless to say, the Results
followed.
Our centre space became small and we changed the centre to our present location. This location
attracted immediate attention of the people staying in North Kolkata and we started
growing at a rapid pace. But our Focus was always clear and we kept on hiring excellent quality
of team members who always took care of students like their own brothers and sisters.
The result was obvious. Within a span of one year only, Arena Kankurgachi became one of
the most sought after Training centres in Kolkata. Our business grew and we kept on re-investing
in the business for giving the students better quality every passing day.
Time came very soon when we shot up to the TOP FIVE POISTIONS IN THE WHOLE OF
INDIA. Studentsforgot the distance factor and used to come from far South Kolkata, adjoining
districts, North Bengal and even Bihar and Orissa. The word of mouth spread like fire.
This was the time when we had to be more careful because often success goes into the head
and people see a downfall.
But, we remembered the Basics. Our Focus was still in delivering EXCELLENT QUALITY
and GOOD PLACEMENTS. Every placement made used to personally give me more Happiness
than every new admission because I knew, within my Heart, that the student placed
is now ready to face the world. He has now got the wings to SOAR HIGH, to FLY HIGHand
those wings can take him to any height, depending upon his own initiatives and efforts. Our
job was done well and now there is a family which would feel very happy seeing the son /
brother in the family earning a livelihood and contributing to the overall well-being of the
family.

Logo design:tips
Mr. Nabendu Pathar
Logo
design is all around us. To the general public, logos serve as
an instant reminder of a company or a product; to the client
they’re the point of recognition on which their branding hangs;
and to us designers they represent the challenge of incorporating our clients’ ideologies
into one single graphic.
No wonder, then, that logo design features so prominently in our lives. In an age where
everyone must have a website to support their product, service or the company behind it,
the demand for a top-class logo has never been higher.
More examples of logo design are out there than ever before, and with that comes the
challenge of being different. How do you create something original that stands out in a
sea of identities? And how do we create something quickly while retaining quality?
In this article, we’ll first look at the basic principles of creating a logo design and share
some pro tips for finessing your process...
BEFORE YOU START
01. Learn logo
An effective logo is distinctive, appropriate, practical,
graphic, simple in form and conveys an intended
message. In its simplest form, a logo is there to identify
but to do this effectively it must follow the basic
principles of logo design:
• A logo must be simple. A simple logo design
allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to
be versatile and memorable. Effective logos feature
something unexpected or unique without being overdrawn.
Effective logo designs: I Love NY, Apple, London
Underground, CBS, WWF, Woolmark Effective logo
designs: I Love NY, Apple, London Underground,
CBS, WWF, Woolmark
• A logo must be memorable. Following closely behind the principle of simplicity is
that of memorability. An effective logo design should be memorable and this is achieved
by having a simple yet appropriate logo.
• A logo must be enduring. An effective logo should endure the test of time. The
logo should be ‘future proof’, meaning that it should still be effective in 10, 20, 50+ years
time.
• A logo must be versatile. An effective logo should be able to work across a variety
Back to index

Page - 11
Gadget News
of mediums and applications.
• A logo must be appropriate. How you position the logo should be appropriate for its
intended purpose.
02. Establish your own design process
Every designer has his or her own process, and
it is rarely linear, but in general this is how the
branding process is completed, which can be used
as a guide to establish your own.
• Design brief. Conduct a questionnaire or interview
with the client to get the design brief.
• Research. Conduct research focused on the
industry itself, its history, and its competitors.
• Reference. Conduct research into logo designs
that have been successful and current styles
and trends that are related to the design brief.
• Sketching and conceptualising. Develop
the logo design concepts around the brief and research.
• Reflection. Take breaks throughout the design process. This allows your ideas to mature
and lets you get renewed enthusiasm. Receive feedback.
• Presentation. Choose to present only a select few logos to the client or a whole collection.
Get feedback and repeat until completed.
03. Learn from others
By knowing what other brands have succeeded in and why they have succeeded gives
you great insight and you can apply that attained knowledge to your own work.
For example, let’s look at the classic Nike Swoosh (above). This logo was created by
Caroline Davidson in 1971 and it’s a great example of a strong, memorable logo, being
effective without colour and easily scalable.

Not only is it simple, fluid and fast but it also has related symbolism; it represents the
wing in the famous statue of the Greek Goddess of Victory, Nike, which is a perfect figure
for a sporting apparel business. Nike is just one of many great logos, but think about other
famous brands that you know and check out their logos - what makes them successful?
05. Avoid the clichés
Light bulbs for ‘ideas’, speech bubbles for ‘discussion’, globes for ‘international’, etc.
These ideas are often the first things to pop into one’s head when brainstorming, and for
the same reason should be the first ideas discarded. How is your design going to be unique
when so many other logos feature the same idea? Stay clear of these visual clichés and
come up with an original idea and design.
With this said, please do not steal, copy or ‘borrow’ other designs. Although, this
shouldn’t have to be said, it happens too often. A designer sees an idea that he likes, does
a quick mirror, colour swap or word change, and then calls the idea his own. Not only is this
unethical, illegal and downright stupid but you’re also going to get caught sooner or later.
Do not use stock or clip art either — the point of a logo is to be unique and original.

RPF in Compositing
Mr. Hirak Chakrabrty
The
RPF file extension is associated with 3Ds MAX, developed by Autodesk
Inc.. RPF (Rich Pixel Format) is the file format that supports the ability
to include arbitrary image channels. While setting up a file for output, if you select
RPF Image File from the list, you’ll go to the RPF setup dialog. Once there, you are
able to specify what channels you want to write out to the file.
RPF files replace RLA files as the format of choice for rendering animations requiring
further post-production or effects work. Many channels available in RPF
files are exclusive to this file format. Let’s we see the uses..

Introduction to 3D Art
Mr. Avijit Paul
Hi folks..this article is for the beginner students and for those who are passionate
of 3D world. Hope this article will work as a foundation Platform of your
concept of working as a 3D artist.
3D art is created by manipulating polygon meshes and molding them into objects,
characters, and scenes. 3D art is used in everything from print ads, to web sites,
television, movies, video games, and beyond. So, what does it take to be a 3D artist?
Well, obviously, you must have an eye for art. Most people who begin learning
how to do 3D have some kind of background in drawing and sketching. Indeed, it’s
not unheard of for 3D studios to hire artists who have no experience in 3D art, based
solely on the strength of a pencil drawing portfolio. Sculptors, who were previously
limited to animatronics and claymation to enter the realm of live-action art, also
tend to have an easy time making the transition to 3D.
Even if you don’t have formal art training that goes beyond the few classes you took
in high school or college for the “easy A,” you can still do great work in 3D.

Useful Traits of a 3D Artist
1. Patience. 3D artists need to be patient. Many beginners unfairly compare themselves
to established artists possessing years of experience. While it can be a great
motivator, and valuable source of inspiration, to examine another’s work, don’t obsess;
3D art is a diverse subject, and requires a lot of dedication and practice to get
acceptable results. Some say that 3D is like Go, the ancient game of strategy: it
takes minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master.
2. Sharp. 3D attracts
a different breed of
artist. 3D artists tend
to have a strong background
in computers,
compared to non-digital
artists. Experience
in computer programming
is common in
3D circles, though
certainly not required.
3D artists have an eye
for detail, and are extremely
resourceful
and self-sufficient. Oftentimes,
problems
you encounter in 3D
won’t have any analogy in traditional art, and may be no one around to help.
3. Hard work .If you want something easy, pick up a pencil and paper and start
doodling. 3D art is not nearly as immediate in regards to results. One can spend,
Back to index

Page - 26
Article- 3D
hours, days, and even weeks perfecting a 3D model before ever moving onto texturing,
animation, or final renders. 3D art is unique in that it can require a broad array
of skills, from drawing to acting, to successfully bring together a finished piece. The
payoff is that, entering the 21st century, 3D artist are perhaps the most sought-after
creative workers.
4. Accepting of criticism. Eventually you’ll feel motivated to submit your art for review
by other artists. 3D artists can nitpick like no one else in the world, so be prepared
to have even the slightest errors pointed out to you in exacting detail - especially
if you’re attempting to recreate anything remotely realistic. If you intend to
work in a studio one day, your ability to accept criticism in stride will be crucial to the
overall success of the team.
Types of 3D Art
As mentioned earlier, 3D is a broad subject, and a typical finished picture will be
composed of several - perhaps dozens - of hours of work in an array of skills. What
follows is an overview of the subjects you’ll need to learn to be a well-rounded 3D
artist.
Modeling - No, you won’t be strutting your stuff on the catwalk anytime soon. At
least, I hope you won’t. Modeling is the act of creating a 3D mesh, whether the end
result is a bug-eyed alien or a teacup. How you get to that finished model depends
largely on the methods that make the most sense to you.
Animation - Animation is the process of taking a 3D object and getting it to move.
Animation comes in a few different flavors. There’s keyframe animation, where the
animator manipulates the objects on a frame-by-frame basis, similar to old handdrawn
cartoons. Other methods of animation include placing objects on splines and
setting them to follow the path of the curve, or importing motion capture data and
applying it to a character rig. Yet another way to animate is to use your 3D applica-

Article- 3D
tion’s built-in physics engines, such as when your scene requires that objects fall.
Texturing - Texture artists make models look pretty. Without some kind of texture
art, everything will be variations of solid colors. The most common and accurate way
to create a texture for a model is to “unwrap” the mesh (flatten it out) and paint over
it in an application such as Photoshop. The final texture is then “wrapped” over the
original mesh again. Depending on how a model is created, each section may have
its own texture, i.e., a separate texture for hands, one for arms, and one for the torso
of a character, all made to blend together seamlessly.
Rendering - Rendering an image is typically the last step in any workflow pipeline,
and is perhaps the most important part. It is a step often overlooked or glossed over
by beginners, who are more focused on creating models and animating them. There
are many aspects to creating a good final render of a scene, including attention to
camera placement, lighting choices which may affect mood and shadows, reflections
and transparency, and the handling of special effects, like fluids or gasses.
Everything else - There are many other aspects to creating a good final product.
Scenes must be correctly staged, usually working from a pre-visualization rendering,
or a quick pencil sketch. Character models must be properly rigged for animation, an
art in and of itself. In many big 3D firms, there may be a handful of artists whose sole
purpose is to rig up models created by modelers for the animators to work with.
Finally, most major software packages allow extensions on the base program in the
form of plugins. Programmers may build in features necessary to complete a particular
scene or style of animation.
Your First Steps in 3D
The first step in becoming a great 3D artist is to understand the concepts
of 3D modeling, and how to create a model that will eventually
be useful for animation. Later, you will need to learn the principles of animation,
and how to bring your skills together in a fully rendered scene.

3D art is a complex topic that can take months or years to learn. It is also an extremely
rewarding venture, and one that is increasingly useful as art is increasingly created on
computers. Digital art, and specifically 3D art, is still in its infancy when compared to traditional
forms of art. The landscape is constantly changing, and, as a 3D artist, you will
have to change with it. Perhaps, one day, your creations will mold the future of 3D art.
So friends...best of luck and Let’s get started!

Tips For
Article- WEB
‘A GoodWeb Designers’
Mr. Subrata Biswas
design is quite an art. There are many beautiful and inspiring
websites out there to prove that. But even though it sais de-
Web sign, there are many different fields that need to be considered
when designing a website from scratch. The actual visual design is only a fragment.
Even one that comes in quite late in the design process.
Of course a website should be visually appealing and there are many practical
things that can be realized through visual design. However, there are many things
you need to be aware of and define before you can give shape to them. In the following
I will give you ten tips that will help you to create better websites. Some of them
might be familiar to you, some are obvious, but still ignored on a regular basis, and
some might actually surprise you.
1. Look for inspiration first
Never start a project without inspiration. You probably have different sources or
techniques to fall back on for inspiration, especially if you are a professional designer.
If you are not sure where to find inspiration, you might want to check out sites
like Behance, Dribble, Pattern Tab, Mobile UI Patterns, or Usabilla Discover Just
make sure you don’t skip this step, be it because of limited resources or the fact that
you think you already know exactly where you are going with your design.
Take at least a day to think about your project. This inspiration phase is important
because you will be able to think much more out of the box as long as nothing has
been decided. Try to avoid judgement and just note down any ideas that come to
mind. Think broad and abstract and try to approach your project from as many angles
as possible. You might also want to ask colleagues or friends to help you brainstorm
and come up with even more ideas.
Then take a look around and do some benchmarking. There is no need to rein-

vent the wheel, especially since people don’t mind if you use concepts they are already
familiar with. You can always make something familiar special by giving it your
own creative twist.
2. Involve other experts
Web design is much more than only the visual design. You need to come up with a
good information structure, meet usability standards, optimize your site for search
engines, engage and involve the user, and much more. No one can expect you to be
an expert in all these fields.
To make sure you get the most out of every field and in order to build a solid
foundation for your design, don’t hesitate to ask other experts for their opinion and
input.

Article- WEB
3. Know your target group
Another very important thing to do before you go into any details is to get to
know your target group. You are going to design a website that certain people will
use in order to achieve certain goals. Make sure you know what these goals are.
At the same time, you should find out when and in what kind of situations people
are going to visit your website. How they use it and what their expectations are
towards your design. Also, it will be very helpful to know about your users’ level of
foreknowledge and possible limitations. Only if you know who you design for you
will be able to create something people will love.
4. Start offline
Now this is a very basic tip and I admit it is very much a matter of personal preferences
how you approach your design. Still, I recommend you to always start a design
with a piece of paper, a whiteboard, or on anything that can easily be erased.
There are several reasons for that. First, with a little practice, pen & paper scribbles
are the fastest way to visualize your thoughts and present your ideas to others.
Second, sketches can easily be altered and details can be highlighted, for example
with different colors. This is a great way to elaborate on an idea with others. Third,
sketches are abstract and you don’t get as attached to them as you might to a detailed
photoshop mockup. There is nothing more liberating that crumpling up a pa-

per sketch in order to cast away an idea. Last but not least, simple sketches are a
great way to capture your ideas at any time, anywhere.
5. Focus on functionality first
When you first start to think about your design, focus on the functionality of your
website, not the look and feel. You first need to define what’s important, which features
people will be looking for, and where they expect to find them.
You need to know the exact purpose of your design in order to both create an
aesthetically appealing and usable website. Certainly you should have in mind how
you can eventually use visual elements to support functionality, to guide your users,
or to trigger action. However, if you don’t know which features are important, where
you want people to look at, or what you want them to do on your site, how can you
design for that?

Page - 33
Article- WEB
6. Keep it simple
Once you start with your actual design, think about how you can use colors,
shapes, space, and visuals to present your content in a way that meets your users’
expectations. Try to find a level of simplicity that suits the purpose of your site. There
are certainly websites that can do with a more cluttered design, but in general you
will want to make sure your design supports your content and doesn’t distract your
users.
There is a great article about Minimum Usable Design that I’d like to reference
here. The author describes very nicely how to approach a minimalistic, yet usable
and appealing website.
7. Ask for feedback
Just like you should ask colleagues and experts of other fields for advice before
you get started, you should also ask them for feedback. Once you have designed
something you like, or even something you are not sure about, show it to others and
ask their opinion. Often, we are so into our own design that it makes absolute sense
to us and also looks amazing. Design is something very subjective and while we have
come to love our own creation, others might see a lot of room for improvements.
When you ask for feedback, it goes without saying that you must also be open
for it. Don’t expect to confirm your design, but ask for honest and constructive feedback
that will help you improve.

Article- WEB
8. Test & Observe
Asking feedback from the people around you is important. Also important is that
you test your design at different stages and observe how people interact with it. Just
like you might not want to hear negative feedback, people might feel uncomfortable
criticizing you. Make sure you observe their facial expressions and whether or
not it matches what they are saying.
You can easily build prototypes of different fidelity in different stages of your design.
Have different people, if possible prospective users, try out and interact with
your design. These tests and observations will give you lots of ammunition to further
improve your design.
9. Take breaks
There will be times that you are in a flow and everything seems to make sense
and naturally fall into place. Other times you might be stuck and not sure how to
proceed. In any case, take breaks regularly. It doesn’t really matter what you do,
as long as you can take your mind off your project for a while. Take a walk, watch a
movie, grab a coffee with your colleagues.
Anything that gives you some space will help you to take in a new perspective,
maybe even come up with more great ideas. When you get back to your project, you
will be more objective, able to rethink your design and detect possible weaknesses.

Page - 35
Article- WEB
10. Kill your darling
Last but not least, dare to kill your darling. This will take some practice and probably
it will never get easy, but you will see that it can be for the better.
Sometimes an idea is great, but requires just the right approach to really make it
work. If you didn’t get that approach right in the beginning, you might be better off
to start from scratch. Or your execution might be fabulous, but the idea just doesn’t
prove successful. In that case you can hold on to your design, but possibly have to
rethink your concept.

Mr. Snehanshu Mukherjee
Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day or
the Feast of Saint Valentine,is a celebration observed
on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many
countries around the world, although it is not a public holiday
in most of them.
St. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of
one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several
martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines
that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.A
popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine
of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings
for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering
to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman
Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer,
Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a
