VIRGINIE TOSO Ecole Bleue, Paris, France “This poster is my interpretation of the change India is undergoing, especially as a leader in information technology. I specifically ascribed the “Enter” key to India as it is the most important one on the keyboard symbolizing validation or a decision taken.”
SEBASTIAN GNAEDIG AVILA Universidad Nacional Autonoma De Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico “For me, India is a beautiful chaos that moves, streams and intersects like the lines of a Kolam. And in the centre of everything, blended with everyday life, but completely recognizable, is the spiritual, the unworldly.”
THOMAS ROUXEVILLE Ecole Bleue, Paris, France “This poster is intended to represent the exponential growth in India since 2007. This growth is represented creatively through the growth of a beard. I have attempted to use vibrant local Indian colours.”
national winners
AKASH KAMTHAN Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology Gujarat, Gujarat “My poster illustrates gender inequality in India through digital fonts. I believe the bias against women is a major hurdle in India’s road to progress.”
TANVI SINGH MICA Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad “My poster is a juxtaposition of two existing perceptions of India. My illustration encourages imaginations of India on the basis of what it is now and what it promises to become in the future along with exploring and not stereotyping what it was in the past. Re-imagine India!”
NAVNEET KAUR National Institute of Design Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad “My poster draws inspiration from India’s folk Warli paintings depicting people celebrating life together. The circular form showing people holding hands symbolizes motion, continuity and the wheel of time leading India towards growth.”
