Taste Test
Designed two distinct cover concepts for the SIDM Champions Awards 2026 Book of Entries—one focused on premium minimalism and the other on visual storytelling through defence imagery. Both explored different ways to represent excellence, innovation, and leadership in India's defence manufacturing sector.

good work!
Option 1 for me. The hexagonal frame and dark navy palette give it the kind of weight an awards publication needs. Option 2 tells more of the story but for a cover, restraint tends to land better, especially for a sector like defence where gravitas matters.
I prefer option 2

The cover got my goat..... Nice colour combo
Which hero converts better for a luxury bridal brand?
Dark: editorial, moody, film-inspired. The kind of hero that wins awards at design conferences.
Light: commercial, clean, product-forward. Reviews up front, price visible, bestsellers at a glance.
One feels like a magazine. One feels like a store.
