Role: Head Graphic designer and Associate Editor
The Chandbagh Chronicle is the annual magazine of Isabella Thoburn College. It represents the institutional affairs and activities in their wholeness and reflects the aspirations and ambitions of those who constitute the fraternity of the learners and the teachers.
The first editorial board was formed in 1910. For the past 170 years the Editorial Board has been consistently acting as a bridge between college and media. The board publishes the annual magazine of the college i.e, The Chandbagh Chronicle and through this it provides a platform to the students of our college to showcase their creative literary expressions and photography skills.

Design Process
Project Overview:
The College Building was turning 100 years old in the year 2022. So the cover was asked to be designed in such a way that the time Frame is reflected in the magazine cover.
Design Brief:
It was specifically asked to keep the college foyer as the main attraction and build the concept around it.
Concept Development:
We decided we’ll show the changing Era with fashion influence. We chose to divide the 100 year time frame into 3 sections which will be portrayed in the cover, Where we’ll show how women dressed in 1930s and in 1970s vs. how they dress now to go to the college and based on that we decided to shoot the cover in front of the foyer.
Based on the Idea I developed Layout for shooting:
