Design Work: The 2008 Boston Bhangra Competition

Every year, Boston Bhangra puts on a world-class bhangra dance competition. For the last few years, this event has taken place at the Orpheum Theatre, in downtown Boston.
The historic theatre holds ~3,000 people who are there eager to see the best in bhangra dance from around North America. As part of the annual event, I design these print pieces, along with other multimedia elements, to get the crowd excited for what they are about to see. The event is a sell out every year, and attracts a very diverse audience that reflects Boston’s love of exciting dance. This is the front and back cover of the 2008 Competition program. Every attendee received this full-color brochure with details about all of the teams, history of the event, as well as well wishes and advertisements from our sponsors.

This newspaper ad was run in the Boston area to promote the event. It ran as a half-page advertisement.

Imagining India

I’ve just started to read, “Imagining India”, from Nandan Nilekani. Since my first trip to India I’ve thoroughly embraced the many cultures of the land. I look forward to reading his ideas to help India be a thriving global power for centuries to come.

I think there are tremendous opportunities for the struggling US industries to learn from the innovative ideas coming from India. I believe IBM now has 70,000 employees in India suggesting that there is tremedous intellectual capital to be harnessed.
