Udbhav

Udbhav is an annual cultural festival that brings together students through music, dance, and creative expression. For the 2010 edition, I designed another stage backdrop – this time with a slightly different approach to the visual language. The backdrop needed to function as the stage’s focal point while leaving room for the performances. It had to read clearly from the back of the venue, carry energy without overwhelming the stage, and fit the overall visual identity I was building for Udbhav that year. ...

Along with the posters, flyers, and backdrop for Udbhav 2009, I designed the cover for the event souvenir book. The brief was straightforward: something that felt cohesive with the rest of the visual identity while standing on its own as a keepsake. This was part of a larger design effort for Udbhav 2009 that also included posters, flyers, stickers, mini banners, and the stage backdrop.
