India has always had a fantastically joyous history of graphic design, from fluorescent painted signs advertising goods on the walls of the smallest villages, to the 1950s practice of auto-rickshaw owners adorning their vehicles in everything from flowers, birds — even popular actresses. And, of course, I can’t forget the kitsch, hand-painted Bollywood movie posters made iconic.
As I travel home to India each year, I love watching the graphic landscape change and evolve. Clever contemporary airplane literature carries the promise of delights on the other side, dynamic new posters dominate the highways, and super cute food packaging references India’s quirks, history and humor. It is a joy to drink it all in.
Here, we take a look at 10 Indian graphic designers — a new generation of global talent drawing from different cultures and varied influences, but still reveling in their Indian roots. —Rohini
