The following project was done for a class project which was to visualize Bangalore City in a set of postcards
THE CONCEPT
My idea was to make a set of postcards which visually show Bollywood Movies that were shot in Bangalore. From the very beginning, postcards have always been about travelling and new places. Bollywood movies is something everyone in India connects to and to show the places where it has been shot in Bangalore will be exciting and inviting for the audience. I think it can be used to promote the tourism of Bangalore as well.
Since I enjoy doing handlettering and hand painted typography, and for this project, I have applied that for this project. I wanted the same look and feel of the type in old bollywood posters, so I decided to hand paint the movie titles. It took a lot of observation skills to aim and get the same look and feel of the type from the old posters.
Photo and colour manipulation done digitally.
