I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple.

For a college assignment, we had to promote any social cause. My team (two more people besides me) chose to promote awareness on homosexuality. For the same, we created a print ad (given below), 3 t-shirts and a promotional poster.

Today I finally got the portfolio work I’d done at O&M. The work includes a 3 ad campaign for Cisco, and 2 posters for Eno.
