Here is a website that I created exclusively for you all (Stuff You design), to share your designs/sketches/thoughts with the remaining world so that people like you practising for design exams will benefit/motivate from your works. I Hope that you will also share yours - if you have descent designs/sketches worth sharing.

Image Gallery (collections)


Let us see some of the art and creative works done by people (listed below). Going through this might give you a brief idea about sketching and art work that may help you with CEED exam as well as for your future as a designer. By understanding others ideas and concepts, it's likely that you may develop your own idea. That's why I included "Gallery" section for your benefit.

If you have any such works, you may send that to my mail or inform me about your works on Facebook; I will be including your work in this blog for others to look and learn.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I'm not sure about the cut off score. Regding buying of sketch book online, I suggest to try the free PDF sketch books thar are available online for free download. I included some of hem in my resource page. You may download them and improve ur sketching and perception.

    Hi. What are the career options after completing M.Des. could you please write a blog on that. Also I have done btech and want to pursue designing now. My portfolio is completely empty for now. How do I start with it? Suggestions on that. Thanks

      After MDes graduation, students will usually undertake anyone of the following:
      job relevant to their field, startup (own design based business), consultancy or even go for higher studies.

      Many companies are offering design careers. You can check institutes placement prospects. Anyway, I will try writing about that later.
      If you've cleared CEED and are about to take admissions, then u should really bother about portfolio, but, if you are yet to write the exam this year end, then u might not have to bother about that now. It's ok if u don't have any portfolio as of now. Start portfolio the very next day after the day of CEED exam! I've explained this in this video -
      When to start working on Portfolio and when to skip

      If u really want to start now, then chk this! - Tips on making design portfolio for CEED/NID and other design exams

    Hey, Bhanu Chander. first of all, I must say your blog is really awesome.
    well, about me, i am currently working, and my job completely sucks. I thought about study further, but MBA, M.tech neither interest me. I am thinking about Design, particularly product design(i know everyone want that)(or anything else, if you suggest but i had mech. in b.tech so feels like that's the right choice). But don't know what exactly they do in company or what's their job? Is it like developing new product all the time? or kind of problem solving? or something else. Just like my current company, i don't want to regret after getting into some and then think about, i should have taken something else. you know what i mean.. please help.

      Product design is really good for you so is Industrial design. Design career puts u into challenging tasks provide you chose the right company or profile. I agree, doing job in India is quite unsatisfactory for most people - that's one pathetic condition we are facing or put it in other words, we are expecting more from our jobs! But there are cases where some people felt unsatisfied with design career too! It all depends on personal choice. Again, it depend son the company and the kind of products they do - if it like you always gets works to do new product design, then it will definitely be challenging. You can think for IXD, PD etc. No wrong in your choice. You may also consider Animation, but I doubt VC might not fit you (I haven't gone thru ur work but I suppose so, coz of ur Mech stream). It's ok, u don't have to worry about what course u took earlier, but right now how you do and what u chose now matters!

      I'm already planning to make a post, will share soon,
      to put short, exploded design is just opposite to assembling of parts. Products r usually made using several parts, right ? the process of showing each individual part in your design is exploded drawings. I will discuss this in detail in my post, as of now, u can go thru Google images for some small example like say table lamps, mobile phones, etc

      Hi, I'm not aware of the institutes for jwellery design in specific. I think googling should give u the list. Regarding CEED, since u r interested in jwellery designing, CEED is not a correction option for you. However, if you are flexible and planning to take other design streams too and also if you're looking for backup, then yes, you might want to give CEED.

    Hi Bhanu, I wanted to come thankyou you sooner but life got busy. Nonetheless, I really appreciate what you do in this blog and on your YouTube channel. I wish more youth and young professionals get the kind of guidance this platform provides. And because of these resources and tips that you have shared, I was able to give the CEED and NID DAT exams with calm confidence. I am a person who hasn't been able to finish her examinations since school days. It's because I overthink and stress over the details while giving exam, that I lose time and me being a slow writer doesn't help either. So every time if I have ever completed my exam would be a joyous occasion.
    I gave the CEED/NID DAT 2021 this year practicing all the last minute tips and solving papers like you guided. I couldn't finish the exam though :P but I didn't feel guilty for it because it was valuable experience and most of all I felt confident that every question/problem is solvable where as my past UCEED exams used to go bonkers for me and cause more dejection. Anyway, I didn't clear for CEED, I was short off 2 marks which was fine because I solved the paper again and could finish at least 80% in allotted time at home when I solved it whole again. Then the NID DAT prelims results arrived. Out of the two papers I wrote, I got selected for one. And I am preparing for the NID DAT Mains now. Either way, I just wanted to come say thankyou again for all the guidance you provide for the youth like me.
    Keep up the great work! All the best with your adventures and have a beautiful day.
