My diploma project was to redesign the existing publication Golden Hands – The Power of Architecture for White Flag Media & Communication Ltd.

The media company is known to produce international quality titles on architecture and interiors. This hard-bound book features 30 contemporary projects from fifteen renowned Indian architects, and is available in leading bookstores across the country. The aim of this publication is to archive the architects’ well-known projects, along with their personal and professional details. It also aims to emphasize and appreciate the association that exists between and share the far-reaching influence of art and architecture across cultural boundaries.

By laying emphasis on Indian architecture, the publication Golden Hands takes the first step towards providing quality media in the field of infrastructure. The book is intended to serve as a guide and inspiration for upcoming professionals, since they will have to shoulder the responsibility of considering the everyday needs of people and use technology to create a livable environment.

My final deliverable is a coffee table book, totaling up to 278 pages. The cover pages, inner pages and spine titles were executed in four-color offset printing. The book is bound using the technique of section binding. As the amount of text is less and number of images more, a balanced look was attained in the final grid design.

With no background of architecture, this five month long project directed me to a zone which promised a good learning about some aspects of the subject matter. From planning a scheme to conceiving and thinking out a design process till the creation of a final end product was a learning; a humble beginning for me in the world of publishing.
