5. Before I begin this document, I would like to sincerely
thank all those who have contributed in some way or the
other, be it small or big to make my Graduation Project a
success. I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to
work at an esteemed design studio for which I would like
to show my gratitude to the design studio as well as each
and every individual who made my stay at the office
comfortable for the past four months.
I would like to show my gratitude to my industry mentor
Mr. Reuben Thomas and my entire team, who guided,
mentored and assisted me with all of my work at the
office. The environment created by them at work kept me
motivated and inspired at all times and made me feel the
need to push myself to strive higher.
I would also like to extent my gratitude to my college
mentor, Mr Vinesh Tapre who kept a check on me and my
process at work at all times which resulted in my
graduation project ending smoothly with no difficulties.
I would also like to thank my institute, National Institute of
Fashion Technology for providing me with such an
amazing opportunity.

7. The Graduation Project is a compilation of all the work
done by a student during the four months of his/her
internship. The internship helps the student to get a better
understanding of an agency and its functioning and
working scenario and learn various sets of principles and
skills whereas in return the agency gets to analyse the
student and his/ her work over a period of time.
It is a well organised summary of all my work experience in
the best possible manner that also throws light on the fact
that the internship helped improve my interpersonal
communication, ideation techniques and graphic design
skills.
Preface
11. PurpleMango is a creative agency led by passionate
minds, thought leaders and talented designers, who come
together to produce stunning designs and marketing
campaigns for brands. Communication is vital in today's
fast moving world and Purplemango has been putting
across the message effectively. The designs have their
own stories to tell. Purplemango makes sure that at the
end of the day the clients go home satisfied and
contented.
The company was set up 10 years ago when Reuben and
Reshma, a brother and sister team, from two very different
backgrounds decided to quit their respective jobs and
start a creative firm. Since that day, the company has
seen only booming success and nothing else, some of its
clients are as follows:

13. Concept : Youngsters in todays times do not
necessarily consider tasty food to be healthy and
vice versa, however they are okay gambling with
their health to eat something that makes their
mouths water. The brand Yummy Greens wishes to
get rid of the myth that healthy food cannot be
tasty. The brand offers fours items, mainly Pancakes,
Waffles, Sandwiches and Veg Roll. My base concept
for the brand was to create a common meeting
point for health and taste and communicate it
across to the masses efficiently.
Brief : Develop the brand identity of a food stall
Client Requirements : To showcase through
the branding itself that the brand provides its
customers with tasty, healthy VEG food options
Objective : To develop an identity for a food
stall, Yummy Greens, keeping in mind what the brand
stands for and designing the entire brand off it

area, set in a residential complex
Vision : To bring a common point between tasty

generation to switch to healthier eating habits

Ideation : Nothing apart from the items that brand
would be selling and the colour of the Client’s preference
was given to me from the very beginning (as it was more
on the lines of a in house project) Based on the following I
came up with an entire brand guideline for Yummy
Greens.
Duration : An extension time period of one and a
half months was spent on this project.

Drawback : The client did not find it exciting enough.
She wanted something that would make you want to buy the
product instantly without knowing what it is. The logo in itself
should make your mouth water and just a typeface was unable
to achieve that emotion.

Concept : The Brand name has two words in it,
Yummy and Greens. The rules of Graphic Designing
suggest that for any design to be or look balanced with
respect to typography, they should be of contrasting
families. Therefore, I chose to display one word in Serif
and the other in Sans Serif.
Following are a few typeface explorations along with the
graphics of the logo :

Since the brand deals with veg and healthy food
products, the brand could use generic veggie food
item wallpapers of varied styles.
1 : Heavy on Graphics
with solid colours
2 : Minimal Neutral design
3 : Vintage style
4 : Repetitive Design

Concept : Giving each product sold by Yummy
Greens, that is, Pancake, Waffle, Veg Roll and
Sandwich, a unique characteristics of its own and
converting them into cartoon figures. After giving
each product its own personality, combining them in
one frame to create the following hypothetical
situation - All these products are friends posing for a
picture. And just like how people say cheese while
clicking a picture the characters utter out words that
the brand stands for and believes in.

Concept : The main purpose of a menu card is to
provide accurate information that is readable and legible
to the naked eye from a distance. Therefore, rather than
adding extra graphic elements to beautify the design I
went for a simple and minimal style that served the
purpose they were designed for.
46. Design Option 2 : Here, I tried to use a pattern
such as a single stroke to bring into emphasis the most
important detail on a menu card, that is the price while
attempting to use the same as a design element as well.
Design Option 3 : The most simple design route
selected, using graphic elements such as a pancake,
waffle, sandwich and roll to visually display the products
sold by the brand.
44
Design Option 1 : I have attempted to show case
a common ground for the products sold, such as the
dripping pattern represents maple syrup used for
pancakes and waffles and the green in the background
represents the veggies used in the sandwich and veg rolls.

I separated the four categories offered by the brand into
three sections, Pancakes and Waffles on either sides and
the veggies, that is the edibles the brand name mainly
focuses on, in the centre.
Concept : I designed a two fold menu card which
when shut looks like an actual veggie roll.
