NID DIARY 2012
design & Production
A project with the National Institute of Design (NID)
Project guide: Tarun Deep Girdher
NID distributes an annual diary to its staff members and also sends it as a souvenir to professionals and deans of other institutes. I designed a planner suitable to the use of the various user groups at NID. The design got re-printed for the following years as well!
It has been a long journey full of interesting learning experiences. I have documented the process in the form of a blog, vidhushri.wordpress.com
Four sections, 3 shades of paper
Single colour, offset printing, wiro binding
Colour changes with change of semester
Typeface used: Myriad Pro
Play of hierarchy using weights
Experimenting with materials for cover

Family of Typeface used : Myriad Pro
I chose to use Myriad pro for this publication. I was considering the digits of a typeface more closely as compared to the alphabets. I was looking at a typeface in which the numbers appear clear, distinct and appealing at a range of sizes. Moreover, Myriad pro is a typeface where the contrast between the various weights is clear and delivers a distinct hierarchy.

Presenting the diary to the Director of NID. This diary undoubtedly had become my face for the year and keeps me alive at NID even after I have graduated as it has been reprinted for the next year as well!
