SURFACE DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION GRAPHICS

A summary of print design, setting prints in repeat- both half and full drop  and going through several iterations to finally arrive at the final hand painted print. It has been curated into a coffee table book with grid layouts made in Adobe Illustrator in the communication design course. My inspiration was Moroccan architecture, coupled with smatterings of Persian and Spanish influences, so it's a story of symmetry, of jaalis and utter royal vibes all through!

DESIGN PROJECT 1: RADHANPUR SEWA HOME LINEN COLLECTION

The design project is meant to allow the student to engage with socio-cultural and economic dynamics of small scale crafts which are centered around non woven making techniques and processes. Abductive logic governs design process. One has gone to the opportunity, then solution then back to redefining the opportunity and back to refining the solution.
