Manto (Movie Publicity) | 2017
Design Agency: Marching Ants Advertising
Task: Publicity Design for Bollywood Movie
Category: Publicity Design

Manto is a compelling story, but the cinematic account that Das has crafted of a few crucial years of the writer's life is understated. A biography of a writer, play writer and author. Born in British India and later separated by the partition. The man who tried six times in his lifetime for obscenity and always remained a controversial figure.

The layout, type selection, colours and texture try to capture the essence of the movie.

The design seeks to convey a sense of the time period. It's toned down colour palette and use of patterns reflect the angst of the writer. The text is designed to fit with the feel of what’s on the page.
