Buy In India - A Minimalistic Poster Series

Exploring his sense of design right from childhood in his family tailoring business, Arjun Makwana went on to complete his BFA from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda. On his way to work at Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai, he observes businessmen selling their wares at traffic signals. This daily routine and the multifaceted characters inspired him to create a series of minimalistic posters showcasing his skills as a graphic designer.
