Posting 6

Please view updates,pics and works in progress at

THE project is taking shape.. and so far, learnt a lot about the city, good
and bad. Most of the last week or so, its been either the rain or the
riots in Mumbai, so just been stuck at home. With regards to graphic design,
its been satisfying to actually have the time to work and experiment.. To
try and break cliches, playing with colours and forms.

Currently, each graphic essay is a stand alone piece.. covering a range of
topics from sexuality to urban identities to architecture.. (stil workin on
them..)What needs to be done is linking them up, making them part of a
cohesive whole with text and classification (temporal aspect). That should
take shape once all the pieces are ready.. Looking at about 18-20 pieces
right now, some are very detailed, some not so detailed..  with the post
modern view especially evident in the text/ typo on each piece.. I see the
final presentation also as something that one can experiment with..work
creatively with..

Though for a project like this, reseach has been very specific to each
piece..nevertheless have learnt a lot about the city..mainly photography and
print media reserach have been key.

Hope to upload finished pieces in the near future..and get feedback to
further refine each graphic essay.
