About
I use all essential senses to understand the natural phenomena of life, and therefore to rejoice the being of these, i play guitar chords blended with my textured vocals and share my philosophies based on the concept "Zeitgeist/ spirit of time" through my personal portal http://nagpalrohit.com/ which explains my experiences in the form of visual stories.
Relationship between "Art & Design" is my beloved in both general and specific ways and remains core of my thought process. I enjoy controlling the obvious, enriching visual modality and realization by traveling ( both physically and imaginary).
I am a visual strategist now and believes in team endeavors for enthralling experiences.
My team member once asked me about relationship in between Sales and Visual Merchandising and this is how i helped him with " Consider if you want to sell yourself (your skills) in the market (world), how would you start it? You would develop a grammar of classifications i.e. You would groom yourself (neat and clean look of the store), build up your vocabulary (language of display), wear a good combination (mix n match of products) and will walk on clean surface ( plan-o-gram, flooring), you would carry your identity card (signage), and while presenting you would focus on your key skills (POS, focal areas, lighting) and before accepting or execution you would consider your budgets." -
