THE REBEL COLLECTION - MEET "Maanava Raj"

 

In Their Words

“Design to me is rebellion with purpose. I don’t create to please. I create to provoke, to push, to peel back layers we’re taught to hide.”

Creative Direction for Rebel Collection

For the collection I channeled the fire that comes with unapologetic self expression. It’s a visual dialogue about breaking molds. About choosing to stand loud when silence is expected. The pieces I designed for DCEVE embody a clash between structure and freedom, reflecting what it feels like to be creatively and politically awake. Each graphic is a pulse, a protest, a story stitched in boldness.

What This Design Represents

The sharp contrasting type is a nod to disruption. Deliberately uncomfortable. Intentionally loud. I played with stark black and burning red to symbolize the friction between control and liberty. The graphic elements draw from protest posters, underground zines, and the energy of street activism. The design speaks in bold visual statements, refusing to whisper.

Signature Touch

I always embed controlled chaos into my work. Hand altered typography, asymmetric layout, and a raw layered texture that feels alive. There's always a piece of resistance in every corner even if you have to look twice to see it.
