Credit Crisis


The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.

From Web
The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.

The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.


My thoughts
Though the current situtation is not that simple as it seems to be in the video, but Jonathan actually answers a number of basic questions for a novice. Extremely good video to make sure people get the gist.

Super 30

Our lunch get together at headstrong are never dull. Thanks to from the group. We (Saurav suman, Chaitanya chibba, Maninder singh, Sanjay bahl, Ashish kumar and me) always keep it alive talking about issues ranging from politics, social issues, personal issues, boys issues ;) and what not all. It actually keeps us updated sometimes out dated things as well. One of such topics that came up today was Super 30. To begin with it looked like cricket discussion to me ( you know super 6 and 20-20). But turned out to be a great social initiative by a normal guy to achieve an abnormal feast. Hats off to anand Kumar for that. Go though http://www.super30.org/history.html regarding details on this initiative.


Happy blogging!!
