Indian Paneer Recipes...By Sanjeev Kapoor

Cooking has always made my day. Even on my worst days if i cook something it gives me immense pleasure.
Even though I am not a great cook... But i love whatever I cook even if it is just an experiment.
The first time I cooked, it was not at all god but still my parents ate that!

I have been following the cooking site of Sanjeev Kapoor. He is one of the best Chef of Indian Cuisine and also author of numerous best selling cook books.
For this reading post I decided to go ahead and write about my love for cooking!

One of the best cuisines in India is Punjabi food, and that too with main ingredient as Paneer(a form on Curd cheese with origins in South Asia). These dishes are mainly extremely spicy. You will be surprised with the variety of different dishes that can be prepared with this Paneer.

I might sound like a lover of paneer, but the truth is that paneer is definitely tasty!!

The variety of dishes varies from starters, to main course to snacks.

Well in this blog post I can only show the images of those dishes... for recipes please go to http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/paneer-recipes.aspx

Scale

Scale is a relative term.
In a composition scale plays an important role in creating depth. The size change among the objects give a feeling of movement in the composition.

One of the basic things in which we use scale largely is the Models we generally make for our school projects!!

Examples of scale in terms of  Photo manipulation

Image

Image is apparently everything in Graphic Design. It plays a very important role in conveying the idea of the concept to the viewer.

Image can be in form of typography, or photography, or illustration, or any other thing that is possible.

Examples in which Typography plays the role of Image.

Examples in which Photography has been used mainly for Image.

Examples in which Illustration has been used for the Image.

Hierarchy - Project

In this project we had to select any one of the Amendment from the Bill of Rights.

The Amendment that i chose was Amendment VI. In lay man's word, Amendment VI simply stated the right that a criminal has once he is in the jail. He has a set of rights which no one can take away from him such as right to be informed of the accusation, right to speedy and public trial and so on.

We had to communicate the same amendment in 3 different ways for a flyer.

In first part - Extreme scale change had to be used
In second part - minimal scale change had to be used
In third part - Image had to be used

In this part, i have used Hierarchy in terms of scale change to emphasize on the important words and phrases that are being told in this amendment. Most important things have been stated in bold and in the highest font size. Following font size tell us about the second important things. This kind of flyer design is most apt for the time when the person does not have time and can just have a hint of the whole amendment for his help.

In this part, minimal scale change had to be used. So in order to achieve hierarchy with minimal scale change i applied the use of different weights of the same font to decide on the most important and the least important information.

In this part, an image had to be used. As this amendment is about the criminal prosecution and the rights that a criminal has while he is in the jail, i decided to use the vector image of prison bars for this. The prison bars are in the center of the page with AMENDMENT VI behind it to suggest that the amendement is for the criminals for help. Also the amendment is written on the prison bars in for anyone to read it. From a distance this flyer will make it obvious for the viewer about the audience for the amendment. 

Out of these three i feel the 3rd one is the most successful because it can be recognized from a distance and it acts as a symbol which people highly recognize. From a distance we can make out the amendment number and also that this amendment is about the criminal rights.

The color that i chose was in accordance with the colors that we associate with law and order.
