A card game to to help children learn as well as visualise  data from the Indian states and union-territories.

IxDA Bengaluru Student Chapter Launch

Friday, August 20th, 2010

For the launch of the IxDA Bengaluru Student Chapter in National Institute of Design, R & D Campus, I designed the event visual & collateral.  Since the objective of the event was to bring together students & working professionals in order to bridge the gap between academia & industry, we decided the theme of the event should be “A Catalyst for Conversations”.

The thumbnails in order of appearance are: the conference poster, the event schedule, the cards for the design competition and the t-shirt for the event. The posters were printed digitally on 300gsm matte paper.

Bosch In-Vehicle HMI Project

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

As part of a In-Vehicle Human Machine Interface(HMI) research program by National Institute of Design, R & D Campus, Bangalore and Bosch Engineering, HMI Division, Bangalore, we had to look at possible design interventions for Low-Priced Vehicles(LPVs) in India. After an initial round of research I decided to focus my project on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for LPVs in India.

This project was selected for presentation and display at Vision Plus 2010, the international conference on information Design.

Devanagari Anatomy

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

As part of a study of Devanagari — an Indic typeface — I created a poster that attempted to describe the variety of typographical characteristics through a variety of different terms, almost the same way as different names for the parts of the human body.

While some terms are drawn from regular typographical terminology, I had to create a number of new terms taking into account the differences in the typographical forms.

I’m still not satisfied with the result as I believe a script as old as Devanagari, which was used to write ancient languages like Sanskrit as well as modern Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Konkani and Bhojpuri cannot be force-fitted onto a relatively new typographical classification system without taking into account its history and origins and understanding the script’s true form.
