Pictures, type,and the rooms they live in.
I shoot first, then design around what the photo already knows.
Communication design at NID Ahmedabad. A studio internship in editorial and identity work, with a hostel night market, a monsoon type specimen, and a furniture study already on the table.

About
Rhea Kapoor
Communication design, NID Ahmedabad
I start with a photograph, then decide what the type, paper, and room have to do to keep up. Most of the work lives on campus: a night market poster the hostel still puts up, a monsoon specimen that had to survive damp paper, chairs in an empty studio.

Type for monsoon
A type study printed on damp paper, so the letterforms have to survive the weather they describe.

Studio notes

The poster had to work in rain
The night market print sits under a tin roof that leaks. If the type cannot take a drip, it is not finished.

Damp paper as a brief, not an accident
The monsoon specimen is printed wet on purpose. The letters swell. That is the weather talking, not a print error to hide.

Chairs before a room has a name
I photographed the stacked chairs first. The furniture note came later, when the workshop asked what the empty studio was actually for.
