Project Description

I have designed the official website of Alcheringa 2012, the Cultural Fest of the IITG.

I was responsible for the conceptualization, visual design and integration of the website.

Tools and Technologies

Experience
This was the first time, I was dealing with a project of such a huge scale, and it was a small team of two members; we had a lot of fun during the design of the site. Alcheringa being the Annual Cultural Festival of IIT Guwahati with more than 5000 people involved in it and around 100 colleges participating, there were a lot of expectations from us, and I can proudly say that our website has taken Alcheringa to the next level. As soon as I got up in the morning after we launched the website, my facebook account was flooding with notifications and messages, along with 3 offers asking me to design their Company and Fest websites. It was a very great experience for me to work for Alcheringa.
