Overview: Documenting Graphic Design in Sri Lanka

I’ve been haphazardly taking pictures of signage and other types of publicly visible graphic design in Sri Lanka. Haphazard in that its tricky to whip out a camera when speeding by a chariot. Additionally I’m extra careful not to be toting a camera around any kind of government installation. The LTTE is a pretty cunning terror outfit and I don’t blame the local security types for being paranoid.

The links below are for posts that have anything to do with my collection of Sri Lankan graphic design images. If you got any images online please please send me the link :D

Dominic’s comment is partly to blame for the creation of this page ;)

    I’m curious as to how owners/drivers commission this kind of art? Are there professionals (in a sense) who they go to in order to get the old fashioned back-of-truck/bus scenery painted? (Before the age of photoshop and stickers that is)

    Vindi I’m interested in finding that out myself. :) Think it would fall into the folk art tradition of Jingly trucks..
