ನಿಮಗೆ ಸುಂದರವಾದ ಬರವಣಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲೊಂದು ಅವಕಾಶ` ಎಂದು ಈಚೆಗೆ ಜಾಹೀರಾತೊಂದು ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಹೀಗೆ ಮುದ್ದಾದ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳಿಗೂ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಅವಕಾಶ ಸಿಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿರುವುದು `ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ ` ಎಂಬ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಕೋರ್ಸ್.

ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳನ್ನು, ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು, ಪದಗಳನ್ನು, ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಸುಂದರವಾಗಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಆಕರ್ಷಕವಾಗಿ ಬರೆಯುವ ಕಲೆಯೇ `ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ `.

ಈಚೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನಗಲಿದ ಆ್ಯಪಲ್ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ತಯಾರಿಕೆ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ರೂವಾರಿ ಸ್ಟೀವ್ ಜಾಬ್ಸ್ ಸಹ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ ಎಂಬ ಕೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಸೇರಿಕೊಂಡ. ಬದುಕಿನ ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಿತ ವಿದ್ಯೆ ಮುಂದೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಉಪಯೋಗವಾಗಬಹುದು ಎಂಬ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.

ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ನಂತರ ಮೆಕಿಂತೋಶ್ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಅನ್ನು ಮೊದಲು ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಮುದ್ದಾದ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಸಮಾನ ಅಂತರದ `ಫಾಂಟ್`ಗಳು ಹಲವು ಅವಕಾಶಗಳಿಗೆ ನಾಂದಿ ಆಯಿತು. ಹೀಗೆ ಸ್ಟೀವ್ ವಿಭಿನ್ನವಾಗಿ ಯೋಚಿಸುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ  ಕೋರ್ಸ್.

ಮುದ್ರಣ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ಪ್ರವರ್ಧಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಬಹು ಮೊದಲಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿತ್ತು. ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಾದೂ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಹಲವು ಸಾಫ್ಟ್‌ವೇರ್‌ಗಳ ಬೆನ್ನ ಹಿಂದೆ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ಕಲೆ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ ಎಂದರೆ ಅಚ್ಚರಿಯಾಗಬಹುದು.
ಇಂದಿಗೂ ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲತೆಯುಳ್ಳ ಸುಂದರ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳಿಗೆ ಭಾರಿ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಇದೆ. ಇದರ ಜತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಕೋರ್ಸ್‌ನಿಂದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಲವು ಉಪಯೋಗಗಳಿವೆ.

ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ದಿನದಿಂದ ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಗ್ರೀಟಿಂಗ್ ಕಾರ್ಡ್ ಉದ್ದಿಮೆ, ಆಹ್ವಾನ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆ, ನೋಟಿಸ್ ಬೋರ್ಡ್, ಸೂಚನಾ ಫಲಕ, ಸರ್ಟಿಫಿಕೇಟ್, ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿ ಪತ್ರ, ಲೋಗೋಸ್, ಚಿಹ್ನೆ, ಅಲಂಕೃತ ಪುಸ್ತಕ, ಬ್ಯಾನರ್, ಕಟೌಟ್, ಮ್ಯಾಗ್‌ಝಿನ್, ಪೇಂಟಿಂಗ್ಸ್, ನಕ್ಷೆ, ಕಾನೂನು ವ್ಯವಹಾರ ಪತ್ರಗಳಿಗೂ ವೃತ್ತಿಪರ `ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಾಫರ್`ಗಳ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.
ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಈ ಕೋರ್ಸ್?
ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷದ ಬಾಲರಿಂದ ವೃದ್ಧವರಿಗೂ ಒಂದು ಹವ್ಯಾಸಿ ಕೋರ್ಸ್ ಆಗಿ ಕಲಿಯಬಹುದು. ಕೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡುಕಿದರೆ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಎಲ್ಲೆಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಯಿ ಕೊಡೆಗಳಂತೆ ತಲೆ ಎತ್ತುತ್ತಿರುವ ತರಬೇತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರ ಅಗತ್ಯ. 

ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಹ ಈ ಕೋರ್ಸ್ ಕಲಿಯಬಹುದು. `ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಫಿ  ಕಲಿಕೆಗೆ ನೇರ ತರಬೇತಿ ಬೇಕು` ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಖ್ಯಾತ ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಗ್ರಾಫರ್ ಪಿ.ಅಚ್ಯುತ್ ಅನಿಸಿಕೆ.

`ತಮಿಳುನಾಡು, ಹೈದರಾಬಾದ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಮೈಸೂರು ಭಾಗದ ಅನೇಕ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಈ ಕೋರ್ಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ತೋರುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಸುಂದರ ಅಕ್ಷರ ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಹಾಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ದಿನನಿತ್ಯ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗೆ ಸುಂದರ ಬರವಣಿಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಗತ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇವಲ ವೃತ್ತಿಯಾಗಿ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸುವವರಲ್ಲಿ ತಾಳ್ಮೆ ಜತೆ ನಿರಂತರ ಪರಿಶ್ರಮ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಪಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ತರಬೇತುದಾರ ಆರ್.ಭಾಸ್ಕರ್.
ಕೋರ್ಸ್ ಅವಧಿ 
15 ದಿನ ಹಾಗೂ ಒಂದು ತಿಂಗಳ ಅವಧಿಯ ಕೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗಳಿವೆ. ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಒಂದು ತಾಸು ತರಗತಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳ ಅನುಕೂಲಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ವಾರಾಂತ್ಯ ತರಬೇತಿಗಳೂ ಇವೆ. ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಸಿಕ್ (20 ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ರೂ.1200), ಇಂಟರ್ ಮಿಡಿಯೇಟ್ (20 ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ರೂ.1200) ಹಾಗೂ ಅಡ್ವಾನ್ಸ್ಡ್ (30 ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ರೂ.2 ಸಾವಿರ ) ಕೋರ್ಸ್ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತವೆ.

CARVE A CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL CALLIGRAPHER

We at Sri Yogeashwari Institute of Handwriting proudly share this News Paper Article with the object of promoting and Training Calligraphy, Handwriting among all sections of the people.  Name of our Institute is also suggested as one of the Institute which is imparting CALLIGRAPHY in BANGALORE.

CARVE A CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL CALLIGRAPHER BY PAYAL CHANANIA


An article published in THE HINDU on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 (Bangalore Edition) 
This Article and Image is as appeared in the Article and belongs to THE HINDU and its team.

It can't get more offbeat than this! Calligraphy – the art of beautiful writing – opens a unique career option to write words in different stylish and creative ways.

Creating fancy scripts with various flat and oblique nibs is at the least, a very expressive profession that offers a chance to unleash your artistic potential. “The physical feel of writing is such a joy to me. I get swept up in this process which is almost meditative”, exclaims passionate calligrapher and professional trainer, Cherrell Avery.

Calligraphers can do wonders with their skills – impart a touch of class to written work and make even the most basic words look interesting!

Career Possibilities

Take your pick from a wide palette of services like – designing greeting cards, invitations, announcements, certificates, business cards, menus and decorative books to logos, monograms, posters, motivational art prints or even titles for magazines and films. The increasingly diverse applications also extend to paintings, maps, and legal documents, cut stone inscriptions, ceramics, memorial documents and other handmade presentations.

Some professionals make a living by just addressing envelopes while others choose to propagate the art by conducting calligraphy classes and workshops. Still others create and sell beautifully lettered artwork and other merchandise. A wacky option is body art designing in conjunction with tattoo artists!

You can work part-time, freelance, start your own business, specialise in private commissions or obtain employment in printing shops, greeting card companies, publishing houses or even with wedding planners.

Many argue that calligraphy is a dying art what with the almost ubiquitous use of computers and digital media today. But noted calligrapher and graphic designer, Rohan Rawat, argues: “Calligraphy has existed for centuries, but is relevant even today. It has a rich heritage, yet is being adapted to the digital media as well”.

Calligraphy now forms an integral part of various other fields like design, graphics and typography. Typeface (font) design, desktop wallpapers, manuscript design, hoarding design, signboards, packaging design, illustrations, fine arts and props and moving images for films, television and advertisements use calligraphy for both pen-based and computer-based variations.

What's more, this budding profession is being integrated into the fields of fashion and interior designing too.

Is it right for you?

Calligraphy demands an artistic mind with a creative bend and passion for lettering. A steady hand, an eye for detail and a vivid imagination is imperative. “In order to be a good calligrapher, you must have the driving desire to create beautiful images, motifs, symbols. An aesthetic sense and gauge of artistic balance is necessary. While these skills can be cultivated over time, they are also partially innate,” says calligraphy student Sonal Mathijia.

It takes patience and perseverance to diligently hone and master this artistic skill. Practising with concentration and determination alone will perfect your serif, so to speak! You should also be comfortable working with different mediums (paper, digital, merchandise), colours and relevant designing software.

World renowned calligrapher and master of modern calligraphy, Achyut Palav, elaborates, “If you are interested in a creatively fulfilling career, have an artistic flair and don't want to work at a regular 9-to-5 job, a career as a calligrapher is for you!”

Entering the field

While there are hardly any university recognised calligraphy courses in India, you can always opt for varied classes (beginner to expert) offered by some institutes ranging from a few weeks to a few months.

Online and distance learning is a boon as you can easily access modules, watch demonstrations and scan your works. In addition to this, there is a proliferation of hobby classes (please check credentials), instruction books and calligraphy-writing kits for those looking to getting started.

Even Fine Arts students learn basics of calligraphy like scripts, styles, fonts, strokes, depth, techniques and methods. Once ready, it pays to maintain a portfolio of varied and experimental samples for client approval.

With the growing demand for calligraphers, this is a well-paying career - starting salaries as high as Rs. 15,000. But earnings are bound to vary depending on the art form and project commissions.

As Richard Tuttle, publications director for the Association for the Calligraphic Arts (an international association promoting calligraphy) remarks, “Payment can range from ten dollars for making a little bookmark to many thousands of dollars for creating a one-of-a-kind art piece!”

So, there is a long way to go as you bring your letters alive – the only limit is your imagination!
