20 Under 35, Alliance Francaise, New Delhi (Dec 2010–Jan 2011)
Ishan Khosla Design was recently a part of an exhibition called 20 Under 35,
organized by Design X Design and held at Alliance Française de Delhi. This
exhibition showcased the work of Delhi based designers to facilitate a reading
of the emerging trends across various design based creative industries in the
city.
Our installation was based on the kavad or traditional shrine which opens
like a book. The exhibition was meant to be an open-book of our studio, our
interests, concerns, projects and future vision.
Some of the topics we discussed in the installation were – the issue of the dying
crafts of India and how cheap Chinese goods were flooding our markets and the
ubiquity of "Fake Graphics" and how other graphic designers are helping companies
produce replicated products which are geared to fool the consumer. We also
showcased some of our projects where we worked with crafts people to create
an "Indian Graphic Language" which merges craft and graphics.

Our work has been featured in ASIAN GRAPHICS NOW! by TASCHEN
"A visual exploration of graphic design from Mumbai to Tokyo
Asia is home to roughly 60% of the world’s
population—around 4 billion people in over 50 countries—yet the continent covers less than 9% of the
world’s surface. With China and India leading in growth and Japan being the most technological place
on the planet, Asian graphic design has a lot to contribute to creativity around the world. The aesthetics
that have developed in the region, blending tradition and a forward-looking approach to contemporary
culture, cannot be seen anywhere else. In contrast to major players Japan and China, countries like Korea,
Singapore, India, and Thailand also offer a very individual take on the use of graphics, typography, and
many other in many related areas.
Featuring the best and the most recent advertising campaigns, posters,
brand-design projects, corporate identity, package design, and editorial design, Asian Graphics Now! is an
inspirational and important book for any creative student or professional."(from Taschen.com)
