Approach
We set out to capture the essence of India’s nine classical dance forms through a balance of tradition and modernity. Our design process involved studying each dance’s history, costume, and movement, then translating those elements into unique illustrations, culturally rooted colour palettes, and flowing layouts that mimic the rhythm of performance.
Challenges
One of the biggest challenges was ensuring each dance form maintained its distinct cultural identity while still feeling part of a cohesive book. Balancing intricate, detailed illustrations with a clean and reader-friendly layout also required careful design choices.
