Website Content & Design
We've worked with FrontM, on website and marketing communication, as they develop and apply technology solutions for remote space communication. That translates into some pretty exciting stuff- like the ability for isolated cruiseliners and ships to communicate smoothly in the middle of the ocean. It could mean better airline service as a passenger on long haul flights. The applications are endless and they all make our very vast world a little smaller! Learn more.

Nrtiyasha
As a child, Tiyasha hopped on a rickshaw twice a week with her grandmother to go to dance class. Her grandmother never took a book to pass the time. Instead, she sat there, passively thinking. Tiyasha suspects it might have been about her own missed opportunities. Tiyasha owes the seeds of her practice to her Didu, who took her to classes and sustained her with encouragement. It was this seed that sparked the virtuosic Odissi dancer is today. Nrtiyasha is an arts collective that gives opportunities to Indian classical dancers to engage with the community through performances and other dialogues. They also run workshops and projects to create dynamic ways of learning and engaging with the different classical dance forms. Leela undetrook all their website design and content, a tightrope between classicism and the contemporary.

Identity Development
Events High
Events High is leading the way to connecting us city folk with the best urban experiences out there. Maybe it's a concert, a workshop, a book launch, a 10 km city run. Maybe it's a party, a movie screening, a street performance or a chance to go skydiving. Whatever the city has to offer, Events High has got it listed. You can choose things to do based on your likes and interest. Write Leela Write did the total branding for Events High.

ALD wants to create customized educational workshops that aim to inspire both the youth and corporate employees to drift from herd mentality and conquer the world based on their individual strengths.

Every day brings new potential and births new ideas. You can't predict what new leap Boohen might make. Leela says you should never underestimate a dog with a cape
Canteen Cops
WLW worked with Shifft films to create the brand identity of Canteen Cops. The brief asked us to find the right visual personality for an organization that sought to bring a comprehensive solution that could benefit the food industry and its consumers.

We thought Canteen Cops deserved a visual identity that reflected it’s authority and knowledge.

We worked to bring fantasy and illustrate creative inspiration into her branding.
Shifft Films
Shifft is a film studio tucked in the heart of Bangalore city. To create the brand's visual appeal we wanted to highlight it’s signature values: independence, passion, and uber professionalism.

A tremendous blessing for patients who have a history of heart ailments, or those who have recently come out of heart surgery. Leela was in charge of creating the perfect name for the product.

We wanted to reveal the values of CICER: scientific, secure and progressive, with our colour and design approach.

Alaap
Alaap is an organisation of self-driven individuals with a mission to conserve and regenerate forests in rural Kumaon through a people's movement. In an email to us, the founder of Alaap described the hills of Kumaon like this :I returned to the mountains yesterday, We were greeted by a clear, almost achingly stunning view of the Indian Himalayan range and that always manages to soften the blow of separation. The sun is setting as I write this note and the skies are a teasing mix of purplish, pinkish, blueish hues. Mind blowing.
Leela created the visual identity for Alaap.

We approached this project by acknowledging every-day circumstances, the moment we realize we want to do something new. The question is simple, and thanks to Akademe, the answer is simple too!
In Between
Filmmaker Paromita Dhar is the director and cinematographer of the superbly compelling documentary, In Between. The short film collects stories of Bangladeshi immigrants now living in Madrid, Spain. In Between authentically captures fleeting dreams and the fading nostalgia of immigrants who are finding fragments of home in a foreign country. Our selected illustration for the cover held fiercely to the idea of home being a memory, something we carry with us both voluntarily and involuntarily. WLW also edited the website content.
Have you seen those movies where people live in those large mansions equipped with automated delights like a camera at the door, cool intercom speakers in every room, a machine that keeps your coffee hot and ready at 7 am, and rooms you just have to walk into and tah-dah the lights are on? Catch On makes home automation accessible to all of us. We created a brochure that featured their most cutting-edge offerings.

MTGS

The Dosa Truck
In a city like Bengaluru, where there’s a sumptuous dosa to be had at every nook and corner how does an upstart manage to stand out? Vinoth spent weeks researching the fast food dosa industry in the city, even taking up an apprenticeship at a dosa stall. He came to us with his findings and we helped him conceptualize his brand and worked on his logo, eventually culminating in the pretty successful debut of his dosa truck right outside our office! Vinoth’s dosa trucks now travel to various techparks that dot our landscape, feeding hungry techies with wholesome, fresh dosas that are reminiscent of the one’s your mom makes at home! Vinoth keeps his menu minimal, but does have a few interesting dosa fillings that you should certainly check out!
Nimmi’s Bakery
Why can’t vegans enjoy a slice of cake? In a world where we’re moving towards being increasingly conscious of our diet, our lifestyles and its effect on all living beings as well as the environment, Singapore based Nimmi’s bakery comes as a huge relief to many who still want to enjoy the good things in life! Nimmi’s Bakery offers eggless and 100% vegetarian, even taking orders for vegan and gluten-free cakes on request.

The German Rally
The pure thrill of adventure, of just stepping out with your boots on and little but your wits to get you across unfamiliar terrain? Sounds enticing doesn’t it? Six adventurous Germans, comprising of students, engineers and one photographer conceived of the Allgäu-Orient Rally, which will take place for the 18th time this year in 2018! The Allgäu-Orient Rally is a low-budget rally, taking place for the twelfth time in 2017, with currently around 100 registered teams.
Each team consists of 3 cars and 6 drivers and has to find the way from Oberstaufen to Amman in Jordan within 3 weeks. The vehicles may not be younger than 20 years and no motorways, toll roads, ferries and navigation devices are used on the way. But hold on, the primary focus isn’t the adventure, but rather charity and international aid. All rally cars arriving at the destination will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to a social charity project. In addition, every social facility enroute, such as schools and orphanages are approached and distributed donated in-kind. Leela is proud to have designed the logo for this roving but meaningful troupe of adventurers!
NIO
The National Institute of Oceanography, founded on 1 January 1966,is an autonomous research organization in India to undertake scientific research and studies of special oceanographic features of the Northern Indian Ocean. We were commissioned by the National Institute Of Oceanography to work and edit parts of a book for their institute. We wanted to create something that went beyond a hagiography of an institution or just some glossy book filled with dates and accomplishments. The world of Oceanography, a discipline that maintains a deep mystique despite it’s scientific roots, opened itself to us. The wonder of the hermit crab, all the wonders yet to be unraveled by marine archeology, the mechanics that went behind the a shipping vessel, all of these things started mattering to us immensely. And then ofcourse, the campus itself at Dona Paula, a charming side of Goa, which turned us into oceanographers for our stint there!
