Publication design
Solo project
Palace on Wheels Reminiscing the Rajputana.
A souvenir book for travelers on the Palace on Wheels, the luxury train that tours Rajasthan. The idea was to let visitors take the feel of Rajasthan, and the memories of their trip, home with them.

Type, illustration, color and layout
Brief
Pick a topic. Then follow the process.
The course asked for any publication: a book, a brochure, a leaflet or a typographic study. The real task was the process. I chose the Palace on Wheels, voted the 4th best luxury train in the world, which carries guests through a royal land of sand dunes and palaces.
Typography
Letters that turn into dunes, waves and horses.
The display face is Leky Calgria, with Gotham for body text. Each city got its own lockup. In Jaipur, the curves become sand dunes with camels walking by. In Udaipur, the city of lakes, they become waves with a boat. Chittorgarh gets the horse of Maharana Pratap. Agra gets an elephant.
Color and elements
A palette led by deep Rajput red.
Rajasthan is vibrant in every sense, so the colors had to do justice to each place. A deep red holds the book together, with a bright supporting palette for the cities.
