Hi, I’m Bhavna! I’m a designer looking to push the boundaries of typography, illustration, and visual systems in order to transform the “everyday” into something beautiful. In my work, I love to pair bold imagery with expressive text.

Hyster

Hyster is a fictional publication dedicated to engaging with and tackling women's sexual and reproductive rights issues through a highly visual and design oriented perspective. When it comes to the public spread of information regarding women’s health and rights, there is a significant lack of design that is evocative, meaningful, and vibrant. Hyster bridges this gap using a combination of photography, data driven graphics, and selected articles.

Naked Lunch

Naked Lunch is a visceral and shocking tale of addictions, written from the perspective of the drug addict. This book jacket design for William S. Burroughs' groundbreaking novel utilizes jarring imagery and simple typography to visualize the novel's key themes. The image of raw meat alludes to the book's focus on the effects that substances have on the mind and body. The transparencies used in the type represent the idea of seeing something in all of its profoundly raw honesty; in other words, it’s “nakedness”.

Violent Genius

This book serves as a comprehensive catalog of the work of acclaimed performance artist, Marina Abramovic. In order to highlight Abramovic’s pieces with a sensitivity and respect to the subject material, the book utilizes a simple grid system, minimal color, simple typography, and a clear balance of text and images. The book includes photography of the performances, corresponding captions, and selected essays.
