Three simultaneous web engagements going on at the moment don’t allow enough time to think, reflect and write valuable content. But rest assured, this blog will sure add value to your web experience soon. More so if you are a graphic designer; and even more if you are a graphic designer working with open source tools :)

Thanks for your time.  I will be back soon!

I, the designer here at Eficacy, strive to produce much more sleek, modern designs and most importantly designs that work! Contact kamal@eficacy.com for a direct conversation anytime.

Do let us know how you like the new design of eficacy.com which was completely done using Open Source tool-set on Ubuntu 8.10, which is a very popular GNU/Linux distribution ( Lovely even! : ) .

My toolset here includes the following (that i particularly used to create all content and design of eficacy.com as you see it):

• Inkscape (The incredible!)
• GIMP
• Imagemagick
• Blender
• Geany
• GIT
• Nano (oh I just love this baby ) Edit: Ok, i have moved on :P

edit: More tools added to my arsenal :)

The most loved ones being:

• Vim
• Emacs

(many thanks to friends Anurag and Aanjhan for getting me up to speed on these in just one short tutorial session :)

/edit.

And of course my Olympus digicam!

I would be posting a case-study on how the design of the site happened, as soon as I get some time and get my beloved camera repaired. Stay tuned…
