Organic

Delicate

From crispy banana chips to
swaying coconut palms, this
playful celebration captures
Keralam through its most familiar
flavours, forms, and everyday
visual treasures.

Rooted.
Nostalgic.
Tropical.

I wanted this to look like
an authentic, old-school
broadsheet flyer you’d
see pasted onto a stone
wall in Italy, so I went
entirely analog with black
ink and paper.

I used heavy black borders,
bold hand-lettering, and
some clean
cross-hatching to give the
illustrations of the
newspaper bundles that
classic, woodblock-printed
vibe.

To make the “EXTRA!” and
newspaper graphics pop, I
actually drew them
separately, cut them out, and
layered them onto the main
page to give the layout some
cool dimension.
