There is nothing right or wrong in art. It’s about what’s better.
And I always think of how can I make things better with just the right use of a typeface, photograph, or illustration.
Be it creating videos, composing music, or designing graphics, I think to be an artist one should be good at everything.
Right from what we listen to, to the kinds of movies that we watch, to the types of plays that we see... I think everything goes back to nature. And if we are not true to that nature, it hits us. It hits us hard.
But that's why I do it. To keep on chasing that feeling... The feeling of always discovering something better.

Grahan
Illustrated character intro
Set against the backdrop of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Grahan traverses two worlds that are three decades apart, but are connected by a truth. In 1984, a love story meets an untimely end due to the anti-Sikh riots. In 2006, IPS Officer Amrita Singh ends up uncovering a truth that connects her to the past.
Throughout our campaign, we picked fire as a visual mnemonic to drive intrigue for the show as well as depict the tension. For our character introduction posts on social media, we chose to play with matchbox art - making it an instant thumb stopper on social media. Together with powerful dialogues of each character, we created a visually striking series to introduce the world of Grahan to people.
