An inquisitive road map to India.
The final book covers achieved the intended goal of being individually striking while forming a cohesive image when placed together. The design successfully represents the essence of Dr. Rao's work, blending cultural, coastal, and camping themes into a unified visual narrative. Each cover tells its own story, yet together they depict the journey along India's Bharat Mala, capturing the spirit of adventure and environmental consciousness.
Every diary has a hidden message.
