For many designers, certain elements work very well as they see beyond it, compared to the rest. For example, working with lines and using a strong sense of symbolism. Changing the texture of lines changes the meaning. Lines can be rhythmic, straight, diagonal, zig zags, swirls, rounded shapes, decorative forms and of course a bit of abstraction. An abundance of repetitive patterns create rhythm and adds drama to the overall artwork. It's like a line puzzle where the audience submerges to follow the lines and read the overall picture. This gives the artwork a flowing energy.
India is laden with a rich cultural history and if young generations really try and understand the Hindu mythology, one can see how informative and scientific it all is. One does not have to be religious or too cultural to get inspired from such works. A way to look at mythology is to represent them as energies and interpret it in a manner that you understand. Then, it's a matter of recreating that representation in a creative form, whether one creates Gods and Goddesses as superheroes or contemporary forms that become a story for everyone to understand. Discover the core and the rest will fall in place.
For those who use symbolism in their designs, colour is extremely important. And to help separate and space out intricate designs, colour helps to segregate portions, only enhancing the narrative of a design. They also aid in enhancing the rhythm and deciding the eye direction by making the focus more prominent.
