The process for this packaging assignment is one that evolved


every single day. It started off with the idea of using the face
of a newspaper as the package to create a shelf display to
actually using the newspaper to wrap the package as is done
in stalls by hawkers in Bombay. The challenge was to make a
label that stood out on this newspaper and also represented
the true spirit of Bombay without being cluttered.

Prof. Mahendrabhai had shown us various examples of ver-


nacular type. Taking the opportunity of the calligraphy stu-
dio, I chose to do some pretty bold, large format calligraphy
unlike what we were meant to. This exploration and connec-
tion proved to be successful and were my only successful
pieces of calligraphic work which was then used to design
a book cover.

The brief stated that we were to create a spiritual self portrait.


Since it was left completely open, I decided to draw from the
concept of “Art in Public Spaces” which was a Fear and Gender
Lab conducted for 2 months. This is why I created a “space”
where people could come and experience the portrait and also
be part of it.

This is a logo/mark I have designed for One Degree Con-


nectivity, which is a Networking, Styling and PR company
run by Anita Vaswani. The logo is a development from Ani-
ta’s earlier venture which was a Jewellery Label - STONED
which had Circles in it. She wanted it to be “Stylish, Whole-
some and Trippy”

In order to retaliate to the Mangalore incident, We as a


group decided to start a perfomative walk and invite people
to join in. The stand was simple and clear and the walk was
a huge success as more than 300 people showed up after
just a few days of the Facebook event being created and
flyers put up. The spirit was that of positivity not hatred. A
great way for us to involve people in their state’s affairs.

The walk motivated us to pool our skills and work as a group


and reach a certain community. This project dwells into commu-
nity spaces of Domestic helpers. The purpose of this project is to
make the women of this particular community understand, ex-
press, face and respond to their own fears in both public and pri-
vate spaces of their life through a series of interactions. The ob-
jective of this workshop is to make them feel their own powers.
