Flashback

Flashback/ Influence/ Inspiration... couldn't really decide
the name for this post...
But anyways doesn't matter as
much as the post...
Back in college we had to study calligraphy.
Basically
letter-forms types and so on. I loved it. But when
I left college slowly I forgot about it and sadly got busy with
the regular client and briefs and so on and things were
pretty much the same till recent.

It all re-started when I got the brief for a series of classic
stories from different states, translated into English.
Interesting. started looking for things/ elements which
were distinctive of a state. Textiles, arts, crafts... fiddled
with lot of thoughts. But nothing great came up. Then
one day while traveling, on my way back home saw this
road-sign in three languages/scripts. Hindi, Gurumukhi
and English (Delhi has a lot of them). There was the answer.
So back to college. Calligraphy. Script.


T is what I did finally. Covers inspired by the scripts of the region.
And of course Calligraphy. It was great going back in time. Felt like
doing a college assignment.
