Project Overview
Every artisan carries a story. Every craft carries a legacy.
The Maharashtra State Khadi & Village Industries Board envisioned a premium coffee table book that would celebrate the skills, dedication, and cultural contributions of artisans across the state. The publication needed to be more than a printed book—it needed to become a visual archive of tradition, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship.
Taco Visions was entrusted with the complete execution of the project, including photography, interviews, documentary production, content visualization, premium printing, and integration of 3D lenticular elements.
Despite the project being executed during the COVID-19 lockdown period, our team successfully delivered a publication that captured the essence of Maharashtra’s rich artisan ecosystem.
The Challenge
The project involved multiple layers of complexity:
- Producing a premium publication during pandemic restrictions.
- Coordinating documentation of artisans across locations.
- Conducting photography and interviews under logistical constraints.
- Creating a publication that felt modern while preserving traditional values.
- Integrating 3D lenticular technology without compromising design aesthetics.
- Delivering the project within stipulated timelines.
The challenge was not only production—it was storytelling.
The Solution
Taco Visions approached the project as a combination of publishing, documentation, and visual storytelling.
Our team traveled, photographed artisans, documented their work, and conducted interviews that highlighted their journeys and contributions. These stories were then transformed into a visually engaging publication supported by high-quality imagery and premium print production.
To elevate the reader experience, we incorporated a custom 3D lenticular cover along with four internal lenticular pages, creating moments of interaction throughout the book.
The result was a publication that blended heritage with innovation.
Execution Process
Research & Documentation: The project began with identifying artisans and gathering authentic stories that represented Maharashtra’s cultural landscape.
Photography & Interviews: Professional photography sessions and interviews were conducted to create original visual and editorial content.
Documentary Production: As part of the project, documentary footage was captured to preserve and showcase the artisans’ journeys.
Publication Design: The content was structured into a visually engaging coffee table format, balancing storytelling, imagery, and design.
Lenticular Integration: The cover and selected internal pages were enhanced using 3D lenticular technology to create a premium and interactive experience.
Printing & Finishing: The final publication was produced using high-quality printing and binding processes to ensure durability and visual excellence.
