As A Graphic Designer In Divya Bhaskar Press

Working as a graphic designer in Divya Bhaskar Press is a busy life. Our location is 1233, Rupasurchand S Pole, right on M.G. Haveli Road in Manekchowk. This is the heart of old Ahmedabad, so 380001 is a very crowded place. The streets are narrow and full of people and scooters all day long. We spend our time in front of monitors making layouts and fixing images. It’s a press environment, so there is always a sense of a deadline hanging over us. The building is old and has a lot of character. You can smell the ink sometimes. We don't have a lot of space, but we make it work. It’s noisy outside with the market sounds, but we just put our heads down and design. Manekchowk is famous for its food, so we often go out for a snack during the evening break. The work is constant. We change things, move boxes around on the screen, and make sure everything looks right before it goes to print. It’s a practical kind of job. We don’t talk much about art; we just talk about what fits and what doesn’t. The stairs in the building are steep and narrow. It’s just how things are in this part of town. We’ve been here a long time and the routine is second nature now. We just keep our computers running.
