And so, we invite you, dear reader, to continue writing in to us, as we’d love to hear your thoughts on India Art n Design, what we got right and what needs working on.

Here’s what some of our readers-patrons have to say about us:

Not only is it a great platform for designers to showcase their work and impart information, it also reaches out to people beyond the design realm.

India Art n Design is in a single word - 'Engaging'. I'd give it a 4 on 5 for its content quality and visual impact. The best thing I like about the ezine is the variety of the articles; and simple and clear presentation of the website is good. One definite suggestion - maybe have a section dedicated for student work from various design institutes (especially NID and the like…). We need to give our students’ work more exposure…..and understand design education in India. I wish IAnD all the very best! Keep up the good work; budding young entrepreneurs need to be aware of websites like yours.

One of my favourite childhood tales, which I never tired off was how the weaver bird fixed glow worms to her cow-pat-encrusted nest to attract the Goddess of wealth, when She was on her earthly sojourn one moonless night. 
India Art & Design is so much like the feathered friend. It is practical, artistic and above all inspirational. May the e-zine rise from strength to strength and be known for being a resource centre par excellence as well in the days to come.

"The content at India Art n Design is great. In my opinion, the images could be much much bigger; let's say one image entire length of the page, which also acts as a story break. The title can then come below… Yellow could be a nice accent colour or the Indian saffron orange instead of the indigo colour. A section for cutting-edge materials/construction techniques would be a nice addition.

Bidding Adieu to 2014!

As we wind up for the fulfilling year that was, we step out of our customary thank you’s to acknowledge how much strength you all – our readers, our architect/ designer friends, the fraternity of art and design and our advertisers  - have given us to constantly strive to bring you the most-sought-after stories from the world of design. Our sincere gratitude to you all for reposing your valued trust in IAnD and helping us raise the bar!

We also take this opportunity to thank our team of writers, whose dedication has helped IAnD raise its content to almost a feature-a-day. Yes, folks, if you feel that you are seeing a bit more of IAnD in your inboxes, it’s thanks to our enterprising team, who strive to keep you well-connected with the on-goings of the art and design worlds. Frankly, with so so much happening around the world, it still is hard to keep you completely informed, but we hope we’ve set a good precedent of dissemination that not only disallows you to miss out on anything significant; it also ensures that you get the best in the least possible time spent online.

Bidding adieu to 2014 and welcoming new beginnings in 2015,  Team IAnD wishes you all a Very Merry Christmas & a Joyous & Successful New Year!!
