Mini bio from Malcolm

I graduated from Goa college of Art in 2013, specializing in Illustration, passed out as a merit gold medallist in illustration. currently working for Cognizant Technology Solutions, Pune. 

What has he worked on for the Global Citizen India concert?

I worked on the t-shirts designs and a four-fold standee which focused on three UN goals 1) Clean water & sanitation, 2) Quality education 3) Gender equality. I chose to go for a flowy illustration style with brightly pop colored figures because these designs were going for a fun filled event which includes coldplay concert, the band known for their colorful visual representation. and also because I wanted to give it handcrafted jazzy look so it appeals to all genders and ages. I gave an anti-gravity floating treatment to all the elements in the design to represent freedom, and bring in a casual flavor to these serious topics to hammer a serious statement in the viewers head.Malcolm Rebello
