My last offering before i leave Penguin to start my design studio - Inkling Design

The Better Man

Here are two Anita Nair covers i did a while ago.

Beyond Black Waters

Black ground with spot laminated type, couldn't ask for a better chance to use it.

Trade Gothic and Bell Sans are such lovely sans serif faces.

Nice... No? Let me know why.

The Great Indian Middle Class

The first cover* (just front) is an option i did, but it wasn't approved. Which one do you prefer?

Not Quite Cricket

With a title so intriguing, it demanded an arresting image. So I fixed on this photograph and to my surprise the editors went for it too.

A Girl and a River

The photographer didn't have high-res images, like i wanted. But his pictures were just what the book wanted. So i used whatever he had, and the result... Actually the image on top is corrupted, the bit on the left came with the image. Now what else could i have asked for... i said great! I love these unexpected 'mistakes' and often these work out best.

The Penguin book of Modern Indian Speeches

Ruskin Bond

This is a backlist rejacket.

Nature's Spokesman

This is a cover that did not make it...(sigh).

The cover photograph is shot by M. Krishnan.
