FAKE CORPORATION

Sedulous seventh semester !!

2007-12-01T04:07:00.000-08:00

Hey ya there fakers !! Another dose of what seems to be a really bad attempt at making minds as sharp as possible. Seems education is trying to ruin our sense of innovation, like what Einstein said once, "Formal Education removes all prospects for innovation" or at least something like that. In this span there has been a lot going on, starting from India winning the T20 world cup to myself proving an ace in the GRE and TOEFL (I am modest, as you all might know already). So have all these future- deciding activities goaded me to put my passion to proto-sketch on the back shelf ? NOT AT ALL! We have got another set of fakers rolling out this season too. AND, we have the all inspiring aggressive new logo !!! We ARE going corporate after all people, so people must remember us by our logo and the tag line....So first the logo

The logo

Somehow the sinister appearance of the grim reaper has always fascinated me. So to symbolize the aggression with which we will be working, I needed an emotive symbol that could effectually portray the company's sense of its work (also mine). The reaper himself will be no less intimidating than the skeleton we will see in a biology lab. Its the scythe made of backbone and skull that gives the grim reaper, well, the grimness !! So somehow I tried to fabricate the scythe to become relative to our name "Fake Corporation", when INSTINCTIVELY I had a brainwave to mould the scythe into a letter "F" that would resemble our "Fake". I have also incorporated a bloody image of the skull's so as to enhance our sense of devotion and commitment to the company (oh, God!), we will not just sweat it out, but even blood it out, if thats what it takes to reach the pinnacle, Catch my point ?!! Remember its just a personification/metaphor, it does not mean we are going to do voodoo or any other form of bloody sacrifice !!!

Now this season's set of fakers have taken much more time than it usually does. Somehow I am feeling a brain drain ! so I am not able to come up with complete novelty every time I set the pencil to the paper...

A streamliner??

All Terrain Vehicle

An SUV !!

A Partitioned Two Seater

Fakecorp is BACK !! Stronger than ever !!

2007-05-03T20:56:00.000-07:00

Well September 24th was the last time i posted ? Thats a Looooong time then, so I am entitled to give you fakers something EXTRAVAGANT to compensate for the waiting isn't it? Yeah thats what the Indian Karma says, so I will give you something to remember =))

Semester 6/8 sucked big time ! What a lot of soporific lecture hours! But that is boon in a way isn't it? ; ) So I have been able to work on many designs. The following are the brainwaves I got during those gloomy lecture hours...

The Row of Lights in the front

The Grater Top

The Bulwark (this is the name actually)

Sporty

A bit of a muscle

Auto Redefined ?

Quad-Pod (FOUR wheels-Escape POD ; ) )

You might find that only two are properly named. The reason is that I am dried out of EXOTIC names. I could not find anything appropriate to call them. Will try to get out of this draught sooner than later and baptize these beauties ; )

Aye Aye captain!!

2006-09-21T06:54:00.000-07:00

Apology

2006-08-27T03:10:00.000-07:00

Covet the Convertible

2006-08-27T03:06:00.000-07:00

Yup its a convertible. I haven't named it though. Looks good to be a commercial car ;)

Convertible

P.S: Could not resist but great headlights ;)

Fakers said "Let there be a chopper" ....

2006-08-27T02:50:00.000-07:00

My instincts prickled me this time to sketch out a chopper, hope some of u felt the same ;), so if you were really looking forward to the chopper I am giving you, it can't be better.Its the bringer of light, God of light...

Lucifer

P.S:By my knowledge Lucifer is also the one who wields a trident, has horns and a arrow head tail. The usual devil potrayed in the cartoons;)

Daring Double

2006-07-21T08:16:00.000-07:00

This time fakecorp presents you for the first time a SEDAN !! Along with it, is an eccentric machine , both of which have not been named. Will think of a name soon and release them until then relish the sketches of the two!!!

The Eccentric machine ( un-named)

The Sedan (un-named)

"The Swift Fox" yeah its cunning too ...

2006-07-11T09:31:00.000-07:00

Yes fakers, the next unit in the assembly line is ready!!!! This time i have named it myself. The nomenclature came "instinctively" [ Yeah ,acted by my instincts ;) ] when i was helping my cousin to finish his Biology assignment !! I came across this name "Vulpus velox" as the latin name for swift fox so voila !! Here it is now ladies and gentleman the FakeCorp., presents you ......

Velox

P.S : Many fakers thought that the logo resembles Maserati so I am currently working on that too... may be you can give me some ideas . Do not forget to post your comments . So long fakers "Act by your Instincts"

Mouth-Gaping at the "Revelation of Reaper 3"

2006-05-31T07:16:00.000-07:00

Well, well, well here we are again, for all those fakers who have been waiting, consider the wait worth, since after all you have been waiting only for a REAPER to come out of the bag. Yes the third instalment of the never-ending REAPER series has been launched. Reapers are one of a kind, state of the art extreme machines. As always this reaper possesses the first for many reasons. As for one this is the first time the Proto-Sketcher has used the computer directly to conceive the proto-sketch. Another evident feature is that the proto-sketch has been colored in "genuine fake" colors of green and black. It may sound paradoxical but hey!! we are here to change the world and thats what we mean to. Here it is then ..

The Reaper 3

P.S. : Not for the faint-hearted.

Lost and Re-gained

2006-05-10T06:44:00.000-07:00

Well fakers you wont believe it, I lost one of the proto-sketches somewhere two monts ago!! And you know what ? my mom used it as a cover for telephone base!! However i do not blame her because what i thought was lost is now regained ! I have posted its pic here. The previous competition applies to this also.Name this Un-named 3 and if it is the best you WILL get the first model of it out of the plant!! Well here it goes...

The Un-named 3

Yeah!!! Here come the next lot to burn rubber

2006-04-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

Well here they are the next lot of fakers!!Since you all have been frequently visiting the blog patiently for further updates ,I am going to give you all an incentive.Two of these proto-sketches have not been named. So you the public am honored to say are given an oppurtunity to name them!!.If you would like to name them , then do so by posting it as a comment to this post.Make sure you are naming the one which you want. Why?? , because if your name gets selected, you will DEFINITELY be awarded the automobile itself when it comes out of the plant. So FOR ONCE crack your brains and experience the nerve-wracking process it takes to select a name!!So long fakers ,for this naming too you 've got to ACT BY YOUR INSTINCTS !!

Proto-Sketches

2005-12-14T08:43:00.000-08:00

Well at last the proto-sketces have come out. Since these sketches were scanned to an A3 size paper , they will be viewed a bit big in size, so sorry for the inconvinience.Also you will be able to see many faint(rather sharp in many cases ha! ha!) writing or other drawing marks.Dont forget ,these were drawn during class hours so you cant possibly expect me to draw it on a clean sheet of paper, do you?.I have tried to post these images in the chronological order of their creation as far as i can remember, so FAKERS "ACT BY YOUR INSTINCTS" ;)

Fake Corporation : How it all began and the presumed goals

2005-12-05T07:42:00.000-08:00

At last a full fledged space for the famed "Fake Corporation" ."Why and when did it become famous mate ?" you may ask well it will be you can count on me!! I am Swarooph Nirmal a.k.a Mal as am called doing my Electronics and Instrumentation undergraduate degree in the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT!!).I accidentally thought about drawing automobile sketches when i was bored too much in an Engineering Mechanics class in my second semester! I ve been too much of a car enthusiasist since when me mom started buying me the Hot Wheels when i was little.So ve been driven to liking these cars ,bikes ,burning rubber,exhaust smokes,headlight glares and many many more things which car lovers like to breathe in.
Well thats enough about the starting and all.History is not my kinda subject so dont be disencouraged when u see the first para(by the wat that was my first para for any blog!!).Lets talk stuff now .Well i kinda included most of my school and college mates who ve supported my ambition of building a fully fledged automobile company in my line of staffs.So why is fakecorp called FAKE? .Dont ask ! Whats in a name? It just came to my mind in the same E.Mech class and while i was just pondering over my mind for millions of names this just kept on coming back.So...... Now, i ve always been a man of few words only but alarmingly i came across a tagline for the company INSTINCTIVELY.The tagline is "ACT BY YOUR INSTINCTS".Well i thought it was pretty cool if u did what u thought was right at that instant!So instinct thats the fundamental for our Sixth Sense i thought.
Now about the progress,u see it is very essential however famed a company might be.The progress is that some proto-sketches have already made for the soon to be out Fake's first products(in 20-25 years time that is).So these sketches are not drawn to scale as u might see ,some of u may not even like or encourage it i know ,but thats why i call them proto-sketches(think i've laid a new term !).These are drawn based on pure imaginations and instincts.By the way i am the Proto-Sketcher for the company.My long term goal is to take over Scuderia Ferrari .This is solely because i am so vexed that their team did not win the 2004-05 F1 championships.So take over ferrari, do racing, invest in inter galactic travel (which has been a science fiction till now),and rest.
SO FAKERS "ACT BY YOUR INSTINCTS" ;)
