    Scarecrow celebrates 2nd anniv with launch of design division

    MUMBAI: Celebrating its second anniversary in style, Scarecrow Communications Ltd. announced the launch of a design division by the name Scarecrow Designs.

    The new division will provide exclusive design solutions to various clients and will be headed by Kapil Tammal as design director.

    Scarecrow Designs also endeavours to produce pure graphic design content on its own. The in house designers and talent from design schools would be roped in to create merchandise (t-shirts, bags, accessories etc), which will be showcased at the Scarecrow Art Gallery and on www.scarecrowdesigns.net

    Due to the retail boom, mall culture and entry of many international lifestyle brands in India, design has become extremely imperative.

    Many national/international brands, more often, avoid spending on full-fledged ATL campaigns due to media costs. But what they can‘t avoid spending on is to create a look, feel and imagery of the brand where design is sacrosanct.

    The idea behind the new identity of Scarecrow Designs is based on the phenomenon crop circles, which have been the biggest design mysteries in the world.

    Scarecrow Designs design director Kapil Tammal said, “Scarecrow Designs is not a conventional design house. Design for communication is what my team will focus on. Certain brands need to be looked from a design perspective, so along with the routine advertising ideas, the team will wear a designer‘s hat and think of ‘designs‘ as and when needed. I wanted to form this kind of a team since long, and today it‘s finally happening!”

    Scarecrow founder director Raghu Bhat said, “This is a systematic attempt to broaden our communication offerings. It is also a recognition of the great design talent in Scarecrow. “
