The Upside Down
This original negative typeface was a combination of lots of ideas. A childhood secret code writing, MC Escher, my need to be invisible, Indian Philosophy, binary perception. This is my first typeface, and It helped me outside my current understanding of typography, made me look in-depth into the structure of letters, numbers, punctuation marks.
Dialogue - Redesign of a Book Cover
I attended a Book Cover Design workshop by Xavier Comas. I worked on the fiction book, which Dialogue for Writers by Sammie Justesen. The original book cover could be classified as a standard cover of a non-fiction book. My version of book cover played with the words of the title- DIALOGUE. I formed a grid 3x3, and played with the letters ‘L’ and ‘G’ to become open and closed quotation marks.

Are you OK?
Artwork produced in different languages asking ‘Are you OK’ that was displayed in Redditch in May 2021. This was for the Now We’re Talking, a free public art trails by the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS.
When someone asks you how you are today, the immediate reaction is that they are well. The first step of dealing with depression is acknowledging one might not be ok. So each statement has is filled with 'Yes' and one 'No'. These were done in English, Punjabi, Urdu and Polish reflecting the language of the community of Redditch.
