Scope
Team Pratilipi via their Growth head, Sayantan Pan, approached me for an opportunity to design t-shirts for all the digital influencers on their roster.
The way this would work is, the creator/influencer would come up a couple of quotes that, according to them, would work well as merchandise for their audience.
It would be my job then, to visualise these quotes in a way that the artwork would look good on a t-shirt as well as compliment the messaging of the quote.
Once the visuals were finalised and green-lit by the creators and the creative head, the artworks would be handed over to the printing team at Grow 91, who would then print the t-shirts, make mock-ups and go live with them on their website- shopping.grow91.com
This project gave me a good opportunity to work with different creators across the internet, with different processes, approaches, genres and sensibilities.
