  • 3Rd All India Media Educators' Conference-2018 on Power of Media and Technology: Shaping the Future
    CONFERENCE REPORT 3RD ALL INDIA MEDIA EDUCATORS' CONFERENCE-2018 ON POWER OF MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY: SHAPING THE FUTURE July 6 - 8, 2018 Geeta Girdhar Sabhagaar Pearl Academy of Fashion Designing & Media Jaipur Jointly Organised By: Centre for Mass Communication, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur Department of Communication & Journalism, Gauhati University, Guwahati Lok Samvad Sansthan, Jaipur Submitted By: Kalyan Singh Kothari Secretary Lok Samvad Sansthan BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT During the last 70 years since Independence, the position of media has taken a radical shift in India. The ingrained transformation of the Indian society during its journey in the last seven decades, especially in the post-globalization period, has left a noteworthy impact on media. The evolution has also placed challenges before the Indian media scenario. The character of these challenges has kept on changing with the emergence of new social, cultural and political context and has assumed a new perspective following the advent of information technology, Internet and social media, visible in the multiplicity of platforms. The Indian media had a sound role in the struggle for Independence. But it faces a challenge in the present scenario to maintain its high standards commensurate with its glorious past. Subsequently, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been entering into all forms of media. Though the entertainment media industry has been the prime area of FDI, the other genres like print, electronic even radio industries are now becoming lucrative targets of FDI. Though a focus is laid on the expansion of facilities or creation of new geographic market to speak high about FDI in media sector, experience and apprehensions point to several negative aspects.

Fashion designers interpret their imagination to improve the creative use of design inspirations during the development of clothing collections. Such exploration for design inspiration is crucial in the fashion design process for absorbing visual ideas and translating them into original creative clothing. The uniqueness of such creatively and systematically designed original clothing will also improve significantly. The current study focuses on the systematic development of a collection of casual women’s wear inspired by the Hawa Mahal (The Palace of Winds) historical monument in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The fabric patterns were developed by extracting motifs from the Hawa Mahal architectural marvel using comput- er-aided designing solutions and digital printing with hand embroidery. In order to check the market potential of developed garments, a mini-survey was also conducted to analyse the extent of the appropriateness of garment silhouettes, fitting and drape, and overall aesthetic features among targeted consumers.
