Team Photo Part 1

Here are the whole team. Thanks go out to everyone involved. Madhu for letting us spend the time doing it, Siva for arranging almost everything, Ela for video duties. Click to view properly at full brilliant resolution.

The winning team

The winning entry though belonged to Madhu and Jagdish with their feature packed website. They kept nonsense to a minimum but had a variety of cool features in addition to excellent design and detail.

Sandesh’s entertainment special

Sandesh’s team managed to create an interesting rotating headline system, despite Sandesh’s occasional transfer to other teams to cover himself in paint!

Maintaining the Podium

Samy and Bejoy had a whole host of wire based extras as part of their offering, and spent a while meticulously painting various bits and pieces all the way up to the finish. 3rd place to them…

Sonu’s Valentine Welcome Screen

Every team had a very different approach to producing their welcome screen. Despite my doubts, Siva & Sonu’s team succeeded in creating a very involved valentines theme on a huge box…it was pretty amazing, especially since the number of little hearts covering the floor. A great mess.

More Craft tales

David & Jasleen managed to create two websites in the time and even managed a brilliant Indian theme with zero white-space. 2nd Place to them. Here is Ajay showing off the great creation.

Concentrated faces

The energy and excitement in the room was really quite moving for me. Especially since every time a great idea was developed, there was a great deal of shouting, screaming and general camaraderie. Ela was in charge of video and he captured some great moments that I will edit and post at some point.

Craft Afternoon Part 1

Well it was always in the plan, but never did I anticipate such a complicated planning process. I arrived just after 7am with multiple bags of bits for the Indian leg of my craft afternoon tour.

Siva booked an excellent room for the session, and we got going about 11:30 am Bangalore time. I was a little worried how it would all be received but no sooner had I decided upon the 5 teams the action started.

Cardboard Cleverness

No sooner was my back turned did I spy a couple of cardboard carrying sneaks, trying to escape with more cardboard in one lift than I could ever imagine. Crossing the road with this kind of load was a truly stupendous sight….
