The design is simplified, compact and cost-effective.

#GodSaveTheOcean http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/godsavetheocean_4182 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 08:06:38 +0000 http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/?p=3994 Design for Good Client SPROUTS Environment Trust Brand SPROUTS Environment Trust Entrant Ogilvy & Mather Brief During the Ganesha festival millions of idols are immersed in the sea. The toxins in the paint, like Plaster of Paris, Zinc, Mercury and Lead, used in the making of the idols pollute the water and kill the fish. To generate awareness for the harm we put the ocean through, we had to find a solution that kept the tradition alive and also made it beneficial for the environment. Solution
Immersing Ganesha idols on immersion day is a 100-year old tradition. To break it would be blasphemous. Every year, SPROUTS Environment Trust conducts massive beach clean up drives. We needed an idea that would stop people from polluting the ocean, in the first place? So that we didn’t have to clean it up. And idols made from fish food was a natural fit and created enough buzz and awareness.

Safe Houses http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/safehouses_4149 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 08:04:34 +0000 http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/?p=3992 Design for Good Client Plan India Brand Safer Cities Entrant Company of Design Brief Plan India’s Safer Cities program is part of a global initiative by Plan International along with UN-Habitat and Women in Cities International. The goal is to increase safety and access to public spaces for women and girls. In Delhi (the most unsafe city in India), the NGO was looking for an idea that went beyond creating awareness and made a real difference on the ground. Solution
We came up a unique community-based idea called Safe Houses. We asked select residents to offer their homes as centres of refuge for women and girls. They were verified by the Police and trained in workshops. The houses were marked with the Safer Cities logo in a distinct orange (an auspicious colour used at home entrances). Any woman or girl in trouble could walk into these houses and get help.

At Mother’s Pride, every day has been a celebration of childhood. A pioneer in early education, the objective was also to convey the importance of not comparing children with each other, but appreciating and making every child blossom into a confident and happy individual. Solution
Sitting with the core team of Mother’s Pride, which included early education experts, child psychologists, and teachers, we zeroed in on 30 inherent qualities and talents in children, which are essential for their overall development. We took these 30 important qualities, and turned them into a set of 30 certificates, The Prodigies of Mother’s Pride, which celebrates the geniuses in every child.

Eye Spy Indian Art http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/eyespyindianart_4074 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 07:55:46 +0000 http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/?p=3987 Complete Books Client Art1st, Takshila Publishing Brand Art1st Entrant Ishan Khosla Design Brief Eye Spy Indian Art is the first children’s book that looks at Modern Indian Art. It is imaginatively presented with an “Eye Spy” game as its basis and traces the development of Indian modern art. It introduces children to eminent artists from art movements and discusses their styles and inspirations. It encourages conceptual thinking and creative expression in children aged 12 and older. Solution
The teen of today lives in a highly interactive world. To create a book that can not only keep their attention span but also educate them on Indian art was a challenge. We used gamification to make learning fun and interactive — through both the design and illustrations as well as through various elements such as die-cut, perforations, stickers, folds, translucency — to create surprise and joy.

We created posters with meticulously crafted illustrations of the Bodhi Tree containing hidden messages with it. With intricate illustrations, we showed an eye, mouth and an ear i.e. the 3 senses, through which knowledge is acquired and shared in the process of acquiring greater wisdom.

I am the Bihar Museum http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/iamthebiharmuseum_4039 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 07:46:17 +0000 http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/?p=3979 Writing for Branding Schemes Client Department of Art, Culture and Youth (DACY), Govt. of Bihar Brand Bihar Museum Entrant Lopez Design Pvt. Ltd. Brief The Bihar Museum’s mission is to bring back the glory of Bihar and to renew pride in the people of Bihar. A world-class institution, the Bihar Museum brand identity had to be simple, universal and carry the essence of Bihar. Solution
Our strategy for branding the Museum gives it a personalized voice, making it approachable. This is primarily achieved through a booklet ‘I am the Bihar Museum’ which translates the Museum mission and vision as an endearing single person narrative. This subtly engages the Museum in a dialogue with people rather than imposing an “Idea of a Museum” and determines its behavior intuitively.

Baloo http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/baloo_4271 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 07:37:40 +0000 http://localhost/awards.kyoorius.com/2016/design/?p=3975 Typefaces Client Open Source through Google Fonts Brand Baloo Entrant Ek Type Brief The brief was to design a multi-script Indic display type family which would be both serious and fun. A tool for design studios, publishers, agencies, bloggers and anyone who may require a multi-lingual family or a friendly font in their script. It should have its own identity and add visual value to the content for which it will be used. It should also work for both print and digital media. Solution
Baloo is an affable display type family, a combination of soft and sharp curves give it a look that is carefree yet confident, warm yet entertaining, sprightly yet intelligible. The design is distinctive, heavy and spurless, with a subtle tinge of playfulness. The weight and visual features of Baloo have been designed to be consistent across all nine Indic Scripts and Latin.
