The Women I Could Be features the work of Sangita Jogi, a young artist from a family of self-taught artists belonging to a conservative nomadic community in western India. Through illustration and text, the book reflects Jogi’s perspectives on identity and modernity.
The design uses a three-colour palette of fluorescent pink and yellow with an inky blue. Printed with Pantone inks, the colours achieve a level of saturation beyond standard CMYK, transforming the artist's black pen drawings into vivid compositions.
The layout combines narrative text and fantastical illustrations, punctuated by bold typographic interventions. The structure allows the verbal and visual elements to remain in dialogue throughout the book.
As noted in its blurb, this book balances the limits of Jogi’s life as a woman with the freedom of her imagination as an artist. The design supports this balance through colour, scale, and pacing.
