Detailed Description

Evaluate, evaluate, evaluate! was that morning alarm... I think I started off... What to evaluate? My dreams.

Morning 9.15, i was at IDC... actually working on my project 3 on type design... and that durable day was my first presentation of this seminar project... yes.. but then... it matters less... as i had proceeded into main designing of the letter form... once something starts it never will have problem... thought over is clear... not to call it crystal clear... yes maybe, spectrum clear ! .Then, on that favourable day, I was to be faced with a presentation of the basic outline and aim as a whole. I knew it. I had prepared a bit; my guide was always there: omnipresent, omnipotent. I had just spoken a day before, Ravi. What do you expect of me, young lady? What am I supposed to do? and I feel he was crystal clear, as whenever he was dealt with, he briefed

Apply the model you have suggested to those films, from IDC, perhaps, or Reddy's film, or your film; do it at TISS; take help; At least by the end, you must have set a base for future application; you may have to see how design as a whole is evaluated and whether the same is true in the context of films. said I went and gave the presentation. There were quite a few people around. I talked a bit.. to tell what I had discussed... pow came few suggestions... one even insisted not to evaluate my film as I may get biassed...

From that day on, I made up my mind to do a little bit of work on it so that I could present on time, but then hurdles took over, which may take pages to complete but may not be worth a penny! So today, the 26th of September 1991, when 80% of the work is complete, though not the way it should have been, as the executor strayed into areas of associated topics, such as problems and wicked problems, feedback, operations research, and so on, it seemed an interesting yet never-ending topic to operate on, untill my guide Siren decided to end the reference and come out with conclusions, which include the following:

the main feature of the project, "The Evaluation Model," so the work of compilation started.

What ever was dealt with in the books has been reduced to a taxonomical structure of charts; they have been structured in parts with minimal explanation; this whole report thus remains as a base for further initiatives.

Though it could be quite taxing to go through the pages filled with taxonomical charts, it could just be helpful as reusable material.

Bibliography takes a frontline position as it could be a glance through material that is not to be missed... and also because this report is almost a reduction of what has been dealt with in those papers or books and is of prime importance to the future user.

Further, before I end, the last line as a forte is in Avant-Garde bold, i.e., evaluation keeps design alive.
