Following Design Trends On The Venue

Since the day I got Dell Venue tab I have been praising its awesome features. Now let me praise a little more about my latest crush: My Venue tab.

Being a design blogger I always try to keep myself updated about design trends. But at the same time I play so many other roles too like mommy, wife, home maker, blogger, artist, crafter & list goes on. I am so occupied that I am hardly left with time to keep myself updated about latest design trends and that's a disaster for design blogger. 

But then technology is always there to save you from such disasters. I am talking about my Dell Venue tab. No matter how busy I am, I can quickly search about latest design trends on Venue, while I am cooking, helping my son with his homework or cleaning (I can listen to audios). Just connect to the internet (that happens in jiffy), make search and a lot about design trends is there right in front of you.

You know logging in to laptop and then keeping it in your hand all the time while you are doing other things can be struggling but, with Venue it has become easier. Just a push of button and it starts working, open the browser and search for latest design trends, take it to the kitchen, keep it there, do all your cooking and at the same time you can listen to the audios or can take a quick look at a short video too. Last night I read about some latest design trends on Venue while I was helping my son with his home work. When he needed my help I just pushed the off button, kept tab aside, helped him and then just pressed start button and resumed reading without any hassle.

I got few mails from my readers who read my earlier posts on Dell Venue, asking me about the features of Venue and advice on should they buy this tab or not.  I would recommend this tab as it's economical, loaded with some very nice features, easy to carry & light weight. 

Thanks to all who enjoyed my video 'Designing With Dell' I am overwhelmed with the response I received. The video got more than 250 hits in just 2 weeks which I never expected as it was my first video.

Design Inspiration For Monsoon With Dell Venue

You must have seen my earlier post on how Venue is helping me in blogging. Today I am 

sharing some design inspiration for monsoon using Dell Venue.

Monsoon has already arrived and I know I am posting this very late but then too I can't help sharing this with you all. I wanted to do something in my living room that goes well with this lovely season. I have one wall that is bare, dull and ugly or I can say it's like my blank canvas where I can play with my imaginations and do you know Dell's Venue has been a great help. I can visualize my ideas and imagination so well with the help of Venue tab. It has made my blogging and designing much easy.

I had some ideas in my mind to jazz up that wall, so I just clicked the image of the wall and then used Venue and searched some art prints/paintings suitable for monsoon. Then I tried different  pictures and their orientation on wall and that I did on Venue tab only. It gave me fare idea that which orientation will look good. Here are some orientations that I tried. Below is image of bare wall............

Now these are some orientation that I tried. Easy for me to choose one from these.

Next I planned to changed the look of my sofa. I wanted something that perks up my room instantly and adds the cheer. Then adding cushions according to the season is the easiest way to change the overall look. Here is what I did that too with the help of Venue. Here is my sofa that is in desperate need for some change...

And here is how I wanted it to look like.........

Next thing was to give coffee table a look that is according to the monsoon. I wanted to add either shells or pebbles. Now trying both the arrangements actually with one super active kid in tow was a time consuming process. Venue came to rescue at this point too. I clicked images and tried to visualize my ideas. Here is what I did... some images from internet and some image editing.....viola!! Venue tab gave me fare idea about the best possible look of my coffee table for monsoon.

Now that I know what will going to look good in my living let me gear up to make these changes as soon as possible for the monsoon (before it ends....finger crossed).

Did you make some changes in your decor for monsoon. Please let me know!!

Designing With Dell Venue 8

Dell's newly launched Venue 8 tab is what I am using for blogging these days.
 I must admit that I loved its features. Being a design blogger I need lot of images and work on several design projects at a time. Venue has made it real simple and easy for me to click fine images with this tab and then directly insert it in my post without any hassle.

For design projects earlier I used to draw so many sketches to conceptualize the design and then tried to visualize them that how it will going to look once the design is complete and believe me I hated the overall process but with Venue it has become much easier. I click the image of object/place with the tab that I am going to design and then with the help of some image editing software online, I am done. Voila!! I never had so many images to conceptualize my designs in such less time that too without any hassle.

For an instance I was doing a balcony designing project recently and for that I needed to conceptualize the design. I clicked the image of the wall with Venue tab and then I went berserk with my imaginations and then after a while I had good number of designs to show my client and she happily and easily chose one out of them according to her taste.
Let me show you a video of everything that I am doing with this Venue 8 tab. I never made video of myself not even for DIY tutorials on my blog but  all thanks to Dell for giving me this opportunity to make one. Here is my first video where I am showing some best features of Venue those are really helpful for design blogger like me.

                                               

Now my dear readers let me know two things that I am desperately waiting to know from you:
1. What do you think of Venue 8 tab and its mind blowing features.
2. How do you find my first ever video :)

More about Venue 8 will be coming soon on my blog. So stay tuned!!

Tech Talk: Dell Venue 8

So this post is something different from what I usually write about on my blog. Yes I am talking about technology today. You all are aware of the fact that my blog is design and lifestyle blog but writing a blog wouldn't have been possible without technology and saying that I admit that I am technology freak.

I have used so many gadgets and devices for blogging from desktop to tab, laptop to mobile but, my all time favorite was my Dell laptop that helped me achieve my dreams and in past 4 years I didn't keep it away from me even for a day though sometimes I found that it's not that handy and can't be easy to use on the go.
Then one fine day I got something very handy and designed for life on the go. It's Dell's newly launched Venue 8 tab. The day I got it and explored its features I became a fan of it. Lets have a look what I am talking about:
