This magazine is circulated annually during Durga Puja to the members of the association. ‘Milon’ is a Bengali word meaning union. The cover depicts meeting of people and the moment in time when the night meets the day along with the union of Bengali and English, Singapore as the backdrop and symbols representing Durga puja.This entire compositon was my original idea.
I learnt to use the software free hand.The other softwares used by me were firefox, open office, gimp, paint etc.
I had to hand in the final draft two weeks before the commencement of Durga Puja.

At this point I would like to include a few items designed by me for Durga puja 2007.
This alpona was done on a circular sheet of transparent plastic table cover using poster paint.The advantage of doing it on the plastic cover was that it could be recycled.
Alpona is an integral part of hindu relious festivals and usually done on the floor [refer to posting dated May 16 2008]
This item represents a tradltionally dressed Bengali woman
An old metal vase
Two cardboard tubes found inside kitchen rolls
Cotton rope
A saree
Now the same lady can be seen in our living room clad in a different saree.
