working with typography

typography is known as a boring subject to many of my friends. i also kept this view 1/2 years back. now its one of my favorite. if you want to grow as a balance graphic designer then it’s one of the biggest field to show your talent. when you are good at typography that means you are good in creating logo, monogram, icon and definitely it presents that you have a very good sense of design compositions. a designer always has to work with many limitations. typography is a good practice to work with limitations.

GRE preparation

i don’t understand why these type of words learning is necessary. they gave me few sheets of paper with thousands of unknown - peculiar words: amity, apogee, aplomb, affinity, ameliorate, abstinence, abase, copious, coiffure, carafe, caulk, bla… bla… bla..! i never used these words and i don’t know if i’ll need to use them later. they asked me to memorize them!!! its really tough to learn when you don’t get the thing as your every day’s tools. the maths part of GRE is interesting. its need practice… thats all. but when they asked me about the words… i start see everything blurry. in last test of vocabulary i’ve got 15 out of 40; so poor! because the highest scorer got 39! anyway, i am not worried. i believe in slow and steady process. i hope i’ll learn some techniques of memorizing the words. may be you also can help me with that. do you have any suggestion?

when things go wrong…

sometime my own attitude scared me. it seems completely insane. i loose my control and can’t realize actually what i am doing or thinking or even talking. i don’t know why this happen. today the day started with a crazy behavior of mine. i really couldn’t understand why did i act like this. its hurting me all through the day. i could hear the news on tv… the same news… the cyclone disaster!


last night i took a sudden decision of sit for the GRE test. today i got admitted to a coaching center for the preparation and i went there to attend the first class. i was very much hungry and i went to dominus pizza to have something before my class. i had few minutes and i asked the dominus person to serve me something ready made. he gave me a burger with french fries. it was ok… i took a glass of drinks too. after finishing the food i went to the counter to pay the bill. 230 taka! i was astonished! how it could be happen? i asked again. the waiter came and say ‘the burger costs 175 taka and the drinks 55 taka’. it sounds funny to me… i felt everything- everyone is making fun with me. then i came to the class. i think you could guess what happened there. there were no teacher or student. the front desk person told me that i got a wrong information. actually the class suppose to be happen tomorrow morning. i made a call one of my friend. its was early night, so i wanted to spend the time with any friend. i called once, twice… no reply. i walked alone for an hour, stand motionless beside the road, see people, running bus… passing me…

behind the ‘life around me’

it was wednesday 15 august 2007, the name came to mind for the first time- ‘life around me’. i created a space with that name in blogspot. that was the beginning. then bapin bhai bought this domain name for me and i started dreaming to be a blogger. i’ve designed several wordpress theme for clients within this time. but couldn’t able to design my one. i am feeling good because i am going to publish a brand new post for a brand new blog that could be say as ‘my site’.


i am thankful to many person for many reasons. for this site i am really thankful to shafiq bhai and rony bhai for developing this theme. i’ve disturbed them lot and killed their real valuable time. thank you very much shafiq vai and rony vai. i want to thank all the commentators of my ‘previous life around me‘ site who inspired me to building this site. i hope they will keep coming to this site and inspire me as they always did. i am thankful to ebizzsol and bapin bhai for their enormous support and help. thank you all.
