I observed that in most of the colleges, distribution of projects (as a college assignment) is very much similar every year, as it is given below.

Project Name	Group size	Popularity in %
Library Management	4	20
Hotel Management	3-4	15
HR Management	7-8	30
Cyber cafe Management	2	5
Transportation management	2	5
Other application like antivirus, dictionary etc	2 each	3 – 5
Other Management projects	3-4 each	20-30
Inventory management	3-4	20
Payroll management	2-3	15
School or college management	3-4	20

*This table is applicable only for computer branch students. And it might not be fit for some colleges.

Why don’t you try something different in this semester?

If you are deeply interested to design only management projects, It is not necessary that your project must have database. You may go beyond of this.

• Make a network based application like a chat messenger which supports video chatting.
• Or a FTP client that let you uploads & downloads files from a server.
• You may either go for your own SMTP server or a mail server.

If you had set up your mind for standalone applications but not network based application then you may refer these topics as well

• Mobile based dictionary
• Or mobile based local bus timetable.
• You also can develop a rich text editor
• Or a traffic monitor system

Have a look on some web based applications

• Develop a web based application to manage your appointments. Who can remind you and can present a calendar view.
• You can develop an application which let user submit their message to various online social networking sites.
• You can redesign your college website. So that it can be controlled fully from the back end.

Why to develop management type of project

These projects increase your understanding in a particular domain. You can highlight your domain knowledge in your resume. Further you can easily join a firm or an organization belongs to a particular domain like banking, finance or something else. All management based application use database. So their development shall increase your database knowledge as well. Database knowledge is primary to get selected in an offline campus. I’ll support if you do some certification in a particular domain parallel with your study. It’ll definitely help you in project development and campus selection as well.

Why not to develop management type of project

Application like network or mobile based applications, increases your knowledge in a particular technology. They give you confidence to work independently. You can make many of open source applications to weight up your resume. Moreover, If you are working on something different application or project then it’ll definitely fetch attention of your whole class and teachers as well.

If you are decorating kids room or thinking some innovative interior styles then this greeting card style might be a good option for you.

Take a big and colorful sheet. Cut and shape it. Stick the paper sheet in the corner or behind the door. So the flowers can be folded inside when someone close the door.

If you are not able to think any design then you can refer a greeting card. There are many greeting cards available in such format.

Panadol (pain relief tablets manufacturer) might have less effectively designed site but their advertisement on the products, makes a product alive.

This advertisement can improve your imagination about the pollution free place. It shows the difference between polluted area where are we living actually and an area where we want to live.

No!! they are not advertising any organization fighting for safe and clean environment. But a car.

Creative designs of billboard definitely do the same thing without any celebrity face. Panasonic did it. See their advertisement on hoardings with the punch line “Afraid to trim sensitive nose hair” in the ad of nose hair trimmer. A good way to hang electric wires and advertisement in addition.

As per the different position of hoarding board, first I felt that it is an edited image not a actual hoarding. But it is real.

This hoarding is made by two layers. You can see the lower layer in last image. Where the upper layer is impaired due to the season. On the hoarding, you can read a social message too, “Winter weather makes poverty even harder”

*Open the image in new window or save it for bigger version

Just see below images where pillars, to support a bridge, are deigned in a bone shape. And the side below part is written to advertise “dumocalcin”. Dumocalcin is not a very famous brand. They took a very good option for advertisement

While roaming around the shops inside a mall, people generally look for advertisement hanged or taped to a wall. There are some advertisement on stairs and escalators, not only to save space for advertisement but also to give them a unique look. By the good and correct use of lighting and colors, a simple poster stuck to floor might look a real 3d object from the top of stairs.

View such ads for new ideas and creativity.

Advertisements are needful to make the identity of a product. Just see the below hording board good for sharing and advertising. Not only to advertise a product but to keep the advertisement cost less.

Don’t you think that there should be control on outdoors advertisement like ads on hoarding.

If you support these ads then you may say

I agree that advertisement is first need to sell a product. But….

TVs are generally in parent control. Parents use parent guard. Internet surfing can also be controlled and monitored. So the advertisement on internet or on TV, might not be as harmful as outdoor ads.

A smiling face, beautiful location or the presence of a celebrity, might be enough for these ads.

One more question in support of lingerie ads

I don’t want to be the part of any argument or discussion. But as per my opinion, there are several unsocial places all over the world. But it doesn’t mean that we should support them. They might be correct on their place. But it doesn’t mean to advertise them in public.

You can buy gadgets to decorate a dirty place. Or you can redesign a place beautiful. So that, all gadgets automatically looks beautiful and fit to that place. It’s up to you.

It is very difficult to arrange all items properly in a small space like they don’t only fit accordingly the space but looks like a decoration show pieces.

Just see below images and get some ideas about how to cut a library, playing room, kitchen etc in a 2 – 4 room houses.

Mouth publishing is the best way to advertise something. It affects more than a TV advertisement. Social networking is spreading worldwide like an epidemic. Whatever people do, they share everything over the net. They even write about what they are currently doing, what they are feeling and what are their plans.

If you collects and analyze all data correctly then you can predict about what most of the people are about to do. You can know the people habits of particular region, or their need or current trend, fashion and many things.

Google hosts some scripts at their server that you can refer on your site directly. It doesn’t only save bandwidth of your site but make you tension free to update java script versions.

CDN means content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) . You can host your site contents(static) like images, css, java script or flash files here. When someone visits your site, contents uploaded at some CDN would be downloaded on client side parallel. It saves bandwidth and reduce site loading time.

You can opt any java script framework mentioned below.

I seen many people asking site owners about their CMS platform.
It is easier to know it yourself. There is a fixed path pattern of every CMS. If a site is using wordpress CMS then path pattern should be like,

Domain Name/wp-admin

If you get wordpress login page by entering above path then you surely can say that site is built on wordpress CMS. But wordpress provides an easier way to change the path of wordpress installation directory. This option is available in wordpress dashboard under settings option. If a user had changed the path then it is really difficult to guess the path. Specially when site owner restricts crawler to index their site contents. In this case below google search will not help you

inurl:wp-admin site:article-stack.com

Well! it is pretty easy to know wordpress installation directory path. Use the below path

Domain Name/robots.txt

You’ll get a text file containing path as follow

Sitemap: Domain Name/sitemap-web.xml

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /wp/wp-admin/
:
Disallow: /go/
Disallow: /forums/profile/

If robots.txt revealing the path you are trying to hide then you must know why robots.txt is imported for your site.

In case of above example, wordpress installation directory is Domain Name/wp/

Imaginative minds find ways to create something cool out of it. Here is an example. This 1965 Volkswagen Micro Bus that has its steering, gear and engine removed to give it a new form, a trailer billiard table.

I hope these images will surely make Engg students do creative.

Omni wheels or poly wheels, similar to mecanum wheels, are wheels with small discs around the circumference which are perpendicular to the rolling direction.

The Mecanum wheel is one design for a wheel which can move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Ilon wheel after its Swedish inventor, Bengt Ilon, who came up with the idea in 1973 when he was an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB.

The Airtrax wheels are Mecanum wheels. Each wheel is comprised of a series of rollers, mounted so that their axis of rotation is 45 to the axis of the main wheel. As the wheels rotate in sync, the vehicle moves forwards or backwards normally, but by spinning pairs of wheels in opposite directions, the rollers enable sideways movement. Put it all together, and you can move laterally, diagonally, or spin in a circle.

Putting a text message or gif image on under construction / maintenance page is old fashioned now. Watch below video that I created with my sister’s help. I hope it’ll give you better ideas to build creative pages.

This is a very good idea to save energy. Although this concept is not in market this time but it’ll surely make you tension free. Now you need to worry if you had forgotten batteries at home or they are discharged. Only the problem is “weather”. But in this case you may use your regular batteries. You may use solar strap as alternate. If you search over the net more about solar designs you’ll get more ideas like this. Many of them had implemented as well. Like folded & micro solar panels which may be suitable to charge your mobile phones or i-pod.

Wide Touch screen, higher resolution camera, High quality music, Wi-Fi, accelerometer sensor……….overall a pocket cut mobile. Mobile is now in fashion, need and desires. It is a best substitute of camera, phone, small PC and walky-talky too.
If mobiles are so needful & expensive too what we do for its safety from thief?
A very common solution is just to take care it. And if it is lost then launch a complaint in police station. And forget your mobile forever.
Mobile companies are providing a very good feature “Mobile Tracker”, to track SIM number of thieve or the person who is using your mobile without your permission. You need not to contact any third party to activate it. You’ll get a free guide along with your handset. And can activate it in within 5-6 steps.

I purchased SAMSUNG Star 3g on 9th Nov 2009. And I lost it on 8th Dec 2009. Exact 1 month!!!.

I launched the complaint in nearby police station where i lost my mobile. On the same night when the mobile was stolen, I received a SMS from new SIM card used in my mobile since i already had activated mobile tracker few days ago. I gave tracked number in police station. But they denied accepting it. Unexpectedly, they asked me to collect information like address of thief. I received many traced SIM numbers. But nothing helped me.
Well! This incident brought an idea in my mind. Like other stuff such as bike, house you can take loan and any LIC policy for your mobiles as well.
If mobile companies start registering their own mobiles after selling then only the sale of duplicate mobiles can be stopped and stealing of mobiles also can be reduced.

Let me explain in detail.
