Are you a Roadside Romeo?
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006
‘Good-for-nothing guy’ is the English of India translation of the phrase ‘Roadside Romeo’
‘…Visitors to India are often surprised at the amount of English one encounters – in the street, peppered through Bollywood films and even in remote locales. Here, I used the colourful sign-writing tradition of India to capture the flavour of this localisation of the global spread of English.’
A typographic-based exhibition English of India from professor Meena Kadri of the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India.
Good work.
