Winner of Design of the Month July 2024
Thought behind flyer by Kalyani Gaikwad:
I wanted to emphasize weave and woman together.
So, I added a picture of Toastmaster of the Day (TMoD) Sonali dressed in a beautiful handloom saree.
This image serves as the focal point of the design, showcasing the grace and poise that handloom sarees embody. It also highlights the woman in a handloom saree.
The elegant curves and lines in the background resemble weaves, similar to Woven Together from the title.
Why and based on Which Criteria Flyer Was Selected
The flyer was selected based on its excellence in three key areas in comparison to other submitted entries:
Creativity: The flyer masterfully combines vibrant handloom saree elements with the theme creating a visually engaging and theme-significant design.
