Pro Bono..I'll work for you


First off, a blessed Good Friday to all out there. A week ago..at an uncles' place..still half asleep just up from bed i looked at their calender, zoomed in on April... and remarked...[in Mizo] "Tun kum chu Good Friday zirtawpni a nih hi.." ..translation.. " this year, Good Friday is on friday.." :-P

On hearing my wise remark me uncles' wife says, "go jump off from the terrace and dont come to church again if you survive" ...okay she didnt really say it but i guess she said something more mild...and me didnt realise what was wrong with me insightful remark for a good long 53 seconds..

Wokay... enough of my unholy confession...now to Pro Bono...not about Bono from U2. Recently, working on an office project i used a small piece of code/plugin written by a good soul and made available for public commercial use.This helped me complete my job faster 40% faster.

Much inspired by the people who promote the 'spirit of pro bono'.. im *offering my services [ graphic / illustration / web design related ] for free.... and maybe i'll also write some super useful code.. but me thinks me left brains rotten now so slim chance for this....
*This offer stands only for the right requests + circumstances :-)

Example...
  • No, i wont design a website 'pro bono' for your fortune 500 company. For a proper approach go here
  •  No, i wont design a logo freely for your upcoming lottery company... 
  •  YES!!! i will help design a website..design t-shirts to raise funds for your volunteer group which helps poor children go to music school.... etc..
my conditions getting too specific? but hope you get the drift..

Wait...me lied. just did some work for a friend of mine freely and he aint no saint working for the less fortunate. He's starting a new venture with two of his buddies and i wish them [as Borat would say] "Great Success!!!" Click on the thumbnails to view my identity design samples for their upcoming company Orange Byte Studios.. they are based in Mumbai.

Well they haven't confirmed that they'll be using my design but i had fun doing the simple sample..I must admit this is a ' You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours ' scenario ...so this back scratching is really me expecting something in return... something valuable :-) ..like free airline travel tickets + Burn the Priest concert tickets ..... me and my high hopes...

Anyways... to all who may land up on this web page reading this....Pro Bono work i offer to thee..or do spread the word to anybody appropriate.. [*conditions apply ]..and another shout out for Orange Byte Studios....they'll be concentrating mainly on sound design...audio related work...
