Ishan Khosla

Ishan Khosla is a artist, photographer and designer based in New Delhi, India. Initially educated in Computer Science, Ishan became obsessed with the visual world after he lost a part of his vision.


This was named as 'New York Stories'
I think this piece of design is very personal to Ishan Khosla, which makes it every special.



Identity for the recent Publisher's Round Table, sponsored by the Frankfurt Book Fair and the German Book Office. The paper stock and colour choice used in this corporate design works really well.




Design school India.
The front cover has been designed to show the short name for the school, 'DESI', also Khosla has arrange the type so it maps out the shape of India on the globe which is still readable! You can definately see indian influences in this contemporary piece of design.








BUDDHA THE FILM (Print Collateral and Logo Design)
The design of the logo and a series of promotional materials for the film Buddha. Khosla used a 'western' treatment for the logo.
His reasons were:
*that no English typeface can look like any Indian typefaces
*as this is a Hollywood film, it will be telling the story of Buddha in a "contemporary" way, rather than the traditional.
