Intuitive design is always needed especially in the digital space these days. Consistency is extremely crucial to being intuitive and interaction consistency is much more important than just visual consistency. Great UX is not just a ‘nice thing to have’ but actually acts as a vital differentiator between a great product and a product that no only really cares about. Fractal Ink’s designs have definitely managed to bring this forth. The graphics too are extremely catchy, fun and fresh. Intriguing designs!

The collection of projects submitted by Sangaru Design Studio show a wide range of explorations in using Indian crafts to create stunning new applications and contemporary products that have a very refined form as well as an appropriate visual and structural integrity in keeping with the need of our times. This represents some of the finest work being done in India through the use of design and one that is sensitive to the needs and challenges of the crafts sector as a whole. Traditional materials of bamboo, wood and terracotta have all been handled with a rare imagination and refinement in detailing and process selection to create forms that are expressive of contemporary India without being obvious.
