I am a firm believer in the power of a lunchtime walk, and I am fortunate enough to sometimes be able to get my steps in around Chester’s wonderful zoo. With an anxious mind troubled by a work problem that felt too big to solve, I decided to take a break and found myself wandering into the zoo’s shark exhibit. As a Designer, I couldn’t help but admire the shark’s aesthetic—the dark-on-top, light-on-bottom counter-shaded body, the elegant sweep and taper of the dorsal fin, and those eyes. Deep and mysterious, as they stare they tell me that in the vast ocean, we all play a role in the food chain—and we are not necessarily at the top. It is in the evolution of those eyes that we find the fundamental difference between the great white and hammerhead shark: vision.  In the words of the late Faithless frontman Maxi Jazz, "You don’t need eyes to see, you need vision” (Faithless Reverence 1996). Both the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) and the great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran) have eyes, but while the hammerhead’s give the distinctive shark its name and a wide field of vision, the great white utilises a focused sight. It was then I untangled my muddled head, realising I could take an evolutionary lesson from these extraordinary creatures. I needed to approach the issue in hand like a hammerhead looking broadly at the bigger picture; see the full project filling the frame, then I can hone in on bite sized pieces like a great white, picking them off one by one, more digestible and easier to swallow. "That’s it!" I thought. I need to be a shark, or rather two sharks. Initially like a hammerhead with focus spanning wide, but also a great white with a predatory precision. Time to push myself up the food chain with a sharklike 'plan of attack'!

In an age where technology drives the future of our industry, it's essential to remember the timeless beauty of traditional firework set pieces. There’s something undeniably captivating about a carefully crafted lancework display—where every product placement, every spark, and every burst is part of a story brought to life by hand. Fire art, lancework, and fireworks are not just techniques; they’re a century-old tradition that has united communities, celebrated milestones, and ignited storytelling across generations. These pieces represent the heart and soul of our craft, reminding us that innovation is best when paired with the artistry and craftsmanship of the past. As we continue to push the boundaries of technology, let’s ensure that these traditional practices remain at the forefront of our minds. They are more than just displays; they are a legacy that deserves to shine alongside our most cutting-edge advancements. Here's to the sparks that light up the future—and the ones that keep tradition alive.

Once upon a time, the Circle woke up and decided to file complaints about its life. Complaint 1: “Why do people assume I’m the easiest shape to draw? Do you know how hard it is to be perfectly round? You humans try, and I end up looking like a squashed potato!" Complaint 2: "I’m tired of being the go-to shape for everything that spins. Wheels, fans, pizzas—can’t a triangle get a turn for once? But no, everyone loves a circle until I roll away with their dignity." Complaint 3: "People say I’m endless. Infinite. But have you tried being endless? I’m exhausted! Every time I try to find my beginning or end, I just... go in circles." Complaint 4: "You think it’s fun being symmetrical? Ever heard someone compliment my angles? No, because I don’t have any. Squares get ‘sharp’ and triangles get ‘edgy.’ What do I get? ‘Round.’ Wow, thrilling." By the end of the day, the Circle gave up and rolled back into its comfort zone—literally. "At least I’m a favourite in geometry class," it sighed, before being rudely divided into pizza slices by hungry humans. Moral : Even circles have grievances—especially when they’re taken for granted... and eaten. #DesignLife #CircleDesign #GeometricDesign #DesignMatters #ShapeArt #CreativeDesign #DesignTrends #MinimalDesign #ArtAndDesign #VisualDesign #art #jaffarnisar

The Beauty of Luxury Rolls Royce Ghost Series II, With Stanning Details in Paint, Interior/ Exterior, Less Metal and it's Looks like Much Better Than Specter in my Opinion, at Least Without Mustache :) Rolls-Royce Makes the Refreshed Ghost Even More Opulent With New Interior Materials, Ornamentation, and More Customizability ... The Twin-turbocharged V-12 Engine Carries Over Unchanged, Still Producing 563 horsepower. A new Satellite Aided Transmission system uses GPS data to decide on the ideal gear to be engaged when exiting a corner based on the curvature of the turn. This works in conjunction with Rolls-Royce's Flagbearer system that scans the road ahead with cameras to keep the suspension as smooth as possible. As Usual, there's no word on the price of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II, but it will presumedly cost several thousands of dollars more than the 2024 car's $354,750 starting price. It's Another Level of Lives Life !
