ART MUMBAI
THE RISING COLLECTORS' PARTY
​Studio Ruining Magazines had the fabulous opportunity to design the visual language for the Rising Collectors’ Party by ART MUMBAI, hosted at The Kin Hotel, Mumbai.
​
Working from an open-ended brief - Mumbai, Art Deco, kinship, iconic history, the sea, future-forward - we created a series of custom mixed-media animations that explored the city’s layered past and present. The visuals played across the venue throughout the night, shaping the atmosphere and reflecting Mumbai’s constant state of creative motion.
GALA NIGHT IN ICELAND
PROJECTION MAPPING
Studio Ocupus and Studio Ruining Magazines joined creative and technical forces to transform an old cinema hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, for a corporate gala. They created projection loops, from our collages to replace traditional décor, filling the venue with moving visuals. The theme was glitz, glamour, sparkle and maximalism, and the artworks followed suit: bold, intricate collages, each telling a story of its own.

ELLE
For Elle India Art Issue, June/July 2022, we were asked to add a futuristic touch to an editorial shoot for Eliferous by Srishti Kaur.
The aim was to fuse art and fashion. Our model was photographed against a plain white backdrop, which gave us a blank canvas to go wild on. We set out to enhance the original shot without overwhelming it, so that both the design and the fashion had room to breathe.
THATCH
Thatch is an Indian ethnic brand with a gender-fluid clothing line. Everything is made by local artisans, so the craft is rooted in the regions it comes from.
For this campaign, we added a vintage Bollywood touch, drawing on the colour, drama and nostalgia of old film posters.
We started with raw photographs and gave them a new identity, to make the clothes feel timeless yet current.
ONLY NATURAL DIAMONDS
In collaboration with Dentsu Aegis Network, we created a marketing visual for OND's April, 2023 theme, Maximalism.
We added 3D textures, gold, metals and crystals and other reflective surfaces, to keep the creative futuristic yet elegant.
The visual drew a whooping 2 million views on OND's Instagram!
THE IKAT STORY
One of Studio Ruining Magazines' first collaborations was with The Ikat Story, a Indian homegrown fashion brand. On their Bandhani collection.
'Bandhani' is a highly skilled craft, a type of tie-dye in which the cloth is plucked with the fingernails into many tiny bindings that form a figurative design.
We created patterns inspired by this ancient Indian art form and wove them into our designs, aiming for a balance between traditional and contemporary.
THE COLLECTIVE
STORE LAUNCH
we designed the invitation for the grand opening of The Collective's new luxury fashion store on Linking Road, Bandra, Mumbai. Clean layouts and classic typography, and everything gold, set the tone for the brand's opulance before guests even walked in. Restraint was the point: the gold does the talking, so everything else stays quiet.

Cocktail Art Co. is a creative partner specialising in CGI, film, stills and real-time digital experiences.

Each artwork was designed to reflect the hotel's brand identity, elevating the ambiance and providing a memorable visual experience for guests.
PHARMA
PFIZER
In collaboration with Pfizer’s Viagra, Publicis, and Mothership Productions, Studio Ruining Magazines undertook the visual art direction of a 2-minute film.
