It isn’t often that we notice graphic design on shop name boards, signages and products, yet we are always in need of graphic designers — whether a trained professional or the informal and self-taught amateur set up at photocopy shops. In design gallery 47-A’s next exhibition titled Everyday India, typographer and graphic designer Zeenat Kulavoor, visual artist Sameer Kulavoor and their team at visual design studio Bombay Duck Designs, examine the sheer multiplicity and practices of graphic design across Indian regions and spaces which often get overlooked.
