A project of how signage for shops was done at a different time. They’re hand painted, meticulously done with a decorative style. No neon signs are used and there’s usually quite a detailed description on most of the name plates of what the particular shop is selling.
Our project is about locating such ‘old world’ areas in Bangalore such as Russell Market and look at the signage of shops and trace and comment on how it has changed over the years, and try and find out why. We propose to do this by talking to shop keepers who own shops of different trades and of different economic backgrounds as well as try and film them while taking pictures.
