Project Brief

This project will create a collection of 8-10 highly detailed, stylized illustrations of Bengaluru's historic Pete (market) areas, such as Chickpet, Balepet, and Avenue Road. The creative vision is to blend traditional Indian miniature art aesthetics with contemporary urban sketching to highlight the intricate architecture, vibrant street life, and hidden heritage of these bustling neighborhoods. Each illustration will be paired with a short, poetic caption and a QR code linking to a digital map, creating a modern 'postcard' that bridges the old and new city. The project is unique because it focuses on the often-overlooked, dense, and chaotic beauty of the Pete areas, contrasting them with the city's tech-driven identity. It offers a fresh perspective for locals and a meaningful souvenir for tourists. The final artworks will be compiled into a limited-edition zine and a digital gallery, making it a portfolio-worthy piece that celebrates Bengaluru's soul.
