Summer Carnival

Worked on this event earlier this year and just didn't get around to putting it up online. Anway, this was done for an awesome client. Shrikant's a great guy who gives a lot of space to me as a designer when I am working. I had designed his event company Oz Entertainment's logo earlier (which you can see here).

Moving on to the event which was a "Summer Carnival", a small music fest of sorts happening in Pune. For the event I designed a poster, a facebook cover photo and the tickets.

Here's the poster (that's filled with a whole lot of sponsor logos)

Tickets for the event

Given the short production time it turned out pretty well. Plus i got to play around a lot with the pen tool. Those few sleepless nights paid off. ;)

Mystique: Logo + Mural

Recently had the opportunity to work with a salon in Bangalore to redesign their identity and also paint a mural at the entrance.

The salon is called Mystique and it is a unisex parlour, which happens to be rather popular. While redesigning their identity the major guideline given by the client was that the logo should be a (more) typographic logo, something simple and uncomplicated. Their old logo was in cursive and that's something they wanted to move away from. As for colours, the palate had to be lavender, mauve, purple family, with perhaps a secondary colour.

Here are the two options I presented to the client.. I personally really like the second one.

However, in true client style they chose to go with the first option, but without the scissor :(
So now I had a purely typographic logo. Simple.
Here's the final logo:

Also designed the signage for the salon, an acrylic one that light's up at night. Don't have image of it in the evening.. but this is what it looks like:

The next on my list of to-do's was the mural. Took a bit of back and forth to come up with something we both liked and thought could be executed well. This was a reference image I created for painting the entrance of the Salon..

So it took 2 days to get the whole mural complete right from drawing-painting and sticking in the mirrors. I think I spent about 8hours per day working on it.

The process:

Considering this was my first time painting a wall, I think it turned out well. Learnt lots and was rather happy with the end result. The final mural:

And.. that's all folks.. This is what kept me busy for a couple of days last week and it was fun! A little scary at first, but sooo worth it in the end! :)

HisGrace Agro Farms

Branding for a goat farm. The farm may go beyond selling goats and may move into poultry and also consider selling meat products. The logo is flexible keeping these things in mind.

Some early logo ramblings:
Taking inspiration from Tangrams

Using graphic elements like circles and lines to create forms

The final logo with some some colour options. logo variations and applications:

Cutting Chai!!

Packaging for an instant ready mix tea. The target audience is foreigners looking to take home an Indian experience and urban working Indians from the age group of 24 to 40.

SYNTHETIC

Design for a wine bottle which would contain in it, the sci-fi story Anomalous Structures of My Dreams by Shayne M. Bell.

The structure has been created using sheets that are about 220gsm.

A quote from the story:

Mr. Schumberg's projects had combined with the other projects escaped from his laboratory to create monstrous machines they had never intended.

WOOF maadi! Campaign

Before I came into this world,my family already had our first dog.
I was the +1 to this family.
I have since loved dogs and rarely seen stray dogs as a threat. But, I have watched my friends run from not just strays but even from the domestic dogs.
At the end of the day, we must understand that like all humans, dogs have similar emotions..they may not speak..
But living on the street is not something any of us like and it has nothing to do with being a human or a dog...

The “WOOF maadi!” campaign is an attempt at trying to get the people of Bangalore to nurture a relationship with a stray dog, that could lead to a possible adoption.
