About the design
Part
of a 12 piece exhibition of rotating signs: English of India. Visitors
to India are often surprised at the amount of English one encounters in
the street, peppered through Bollywood films and even sometimes in
remote locales. Here, the colourful sign-writing tradition of India has
been used to capture the flavour of this localisation of the global
spread of English. The complete exhibition can be viewed online.
About the designer
When
I was 6 years old I won a Kentucky Fried Chicken colouring competition
and have been involved in Visual Communications ever since. After
completing a degree in Anthropolgy & some forays into film &
design I set up a graphic design company: Meanest Indian in the Land
and later started teaching design at university in New Zealand. I also
taught design in Hong Kong and am currently a member of the
Communications Faculty at the National Institute of Design, India.
