Graphic Designer, Illustration, Interviews5 comments

Sayan Mondal is a Kolkata based-creative freak-eccentric guy and a self-claimed graphic designer and digital illustrator. He is passionate enough in art and design and voices out his words through them along with the value-adding mechanism to mankind. In spite of scoring 88% in his board exam with the science stream, he did not pursue any other traditional career option rather moved ahead with his inner calling and chose Graphic Design. Though he did not attend any traditional design school, with the constant effort of self-learning and practicing hard he has acquired the skills of graphic designing and illustration. He loves to be around positive people, creative individuals and empowers others.

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
The Paramount purpose of a communication system is to deliver a meaningful message. Graphic design plays a powerful role in visual communication. Since my childhood, I have always felt an inclination towards observing things, looking at them hours and hours, maybe trying to have words with them. I feel they have their own words no matter they would be animated or non-animated. I’ve always searched for a medium to establish my observations and convey those obscured messages out of them which might add value to mankind. I feel, design especially graphic design and illustration give me the freedom and comfort to ventilate my pent up emotion, those imaginary messages and shape them the way I want. And an unavoidable passion for graphics has always driven me to stick to it and explore more.

Prachi Deshingkar : Graphic Design

Graphic Designer, Interviewsone comment

Prachi, 25, is a scrupulous nerd who has come to Europe to follow her passion and learn more about the gastronomy & tourism industry. She comes from the serene city of Pune, located in the state of Maharashtra, India. A Graphic Design graduate from MIT Institute of Design, Pune and currently studying Brand Design Management: Food, Wine, and Tourism at IED, Barcelona. Life has always been about the finer details for her. As she studies her favorite subjects, wine & art, she finds her world, becoming more and more colorful, inebriating and inspiring.

She primarily works on projects related to Brand design, Strategy, and Marketing. She isn’t thwarted by the unexpected and refrains from developing a distinct personal style. She understands that it is the design problem that lays the dictum to the designer and not the other way round. What she loves about design is that it opens up the possibility to be a different person in a different world, every single day. She has had experience in the UI/UX and advertising industry and has worked on varied brands like LinkedIn India, Marico India, HUL, etc.

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
It has always been fascinating to see how each brush stroke changes a painting completely. Design became more fascinating than painting, because now I could ‘paint’ with more than just a brush.

Graphic Design is more of an emotional and personal process rather than functional and that’s what I love about it. It’s a visual communication tool that expresses a thought or an idea by taking into consideration the sensitivity of people and the society.

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
 Yes, I completed my graduation in Graphic Design from MIT Institute of Design, Pune. It’s where I built my foundation and explored my own design identity.

Graphic Designer, Illustration, Interviews, Student Workone comment

Saloni Ramteke, 20, is an illustrator based in Mumbai. Her love for drawing put her on a path to study animation and eventually take up illustration. She enjoys watching anime, working out and playing on her Nintendo DS.

Why are you an Illustrator?
I don’t know how to express this better than just saying that I love to draw.
I was going to do medicine but realized at the last moment that it wasn’t for me and decided to do what I was truly passionate about which was animation.
Having studied it for the past three years, I realized that my interests mainly lie in illustration and pre production work and hence, decided to stick to that.

She takes her morning cup of coffee very seriously, loves indulging in a jar of Nutella and her Instagram feed suggests that she dreams in shades of turquoise. Much of her work is inspired by nature, history, oral traditions and art forms. Her immense love for colour and pattern reflects in her work.

I enjoy working with surface pattern design, illustrations, brand identity, layouts and typography for print media and textiles. I graduated with a B.Des in Visual Communication and Strategic Branding from Srishti Institute of Art,
Design & Technology, Bangalore in July ‘18 after which I worked as a visual communication designer for 7 months. I am currently based out of Goa, freelancing while also working on a brand that I started 5 years ago called Tucksac. My thesis and pre-thesis work in addition to self initiated projects that I’ve been working on in the past few months reflects my love for exploring different mediums, hands-on work and my passion for
working closely with culture, history, communities and their oral traditions and practices.

I love coffee, a clean/colourful workspace, enjoy playing badminton and practicing yoga, listening to music, spending time with my family and friends.”

Why are you an Illustrator?
With a penchant for colour, texture, pattern and text and image, I illustrate with the intention of using visuals to tell a story that looks at particular theme through a different lens. Since what moves people in every case is the unknown, I like telling stories through visuals that open doors for imagination in addition to creating awareness about a certain topic.

Aroop Mishra : Graphic Designer, Illustrator

Graphic Designer, Interviewsone comment

It took him three years and a lot of flunking and broken codes to realize that coding is not his cup of tea. So he chose to do what he did best when he was a kid. He is a self-taught illustrator and Graphic designer from Delhi.

“I am Aroop Mishra, illustrator, and Graphic designer. I have studied software engineering but was never good at it. I couldn’t code so I needed something to kill my time during lectures. It started with random doodling, then applying for design internships and luckily getting one.”

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
 It’s easier for me to express myself or my thoughts with drawings or design rather than something else. It is more or less like a language for me to communicate.
