Agastya: Branding

Agastya, a delhi based sufi rock band is a voice that is heard distinctly. A band performing live at various locales in and around Delhi, they have established themselves as a consistent band with every performance receiving a louder applause than the last.

They derive their name from a Rishi named Agastya who searched for God, thus agastya strives for a motive to search godliness through music. Staying true to their name, Agastya always believes in versatility and finding the deeper side through their songs.

Agastya is a perfect mix of Sufi and Rock, of the old and the new.

One Day, One Logo

This was a project a friend and I had taken up in which we decided to make one logo everyday for people in our college batch.

The logos are more like icons, representing what each person does. This project is still an ongoing project and we hope to do a few more. All of these were made in a day each and hence are still rough.

Grey Routes

Grey Routes is a series of 3D anaglyph images exploring the invisibility of the Traffic, Roads and Transportation of a city, in this case Bangalore. 
The project explores how the road and the transportation system, like a mirror reflects an individual’s true inner self.

Each city is made of various aspects out of which most of them are generally ignored by the people. People usually ignore the fact that basic things in and around them can affect them in many ways. One such thing is traffic, transport and the road system of a city. The project ‘Grey Routes’ explores the numerous invisible ways traffic affects an individual socially, politically as well as emotionally.

Minuscule

Minuscule: Typeface Design

Observing a general trend in the modern times where designers and typographers using fonts mainly in Uppercases, I wondered how there are very few small-caps fonts which appeal to the masses.

Taking this as an inspiration, i started designing a new font, 'Minuscule' which means - of or in lower-case letters, as distinct from capitals or uncials.

Open Access

Open access is one of those global issues, which in my opinion, is capable of changing thousands of lives. Although there are so many people involved in the issue of making academic articles available for all, very few of us actually know what open access is.

Open access is a system that makes all the academic journals and articles in the world accessible to everyone with an internet connection.

My research looks onto the various aspects of this system. It analyses the feelings of the people involved in the system and the reasons which do not make the current system sustainable. It also looks into the methods for improvement and making a win-win situation for everyone.

Aaron Swartz, one of the main activists fighting for the open access once said, "But even under the best scenarios, their work will only apply to the things published in the future. everything up until now will have been lost." My business model tries to modify the present system to make all the current articles in the digital repositories accessible to all. The reseach was presented in the form of an infographic.
