visual noise.

Mayank Saraswat

Graphic designer first — posters, typography studies, and brand worlds built from halftone texture, Indian type, and hard contrast. UI/UX is the second language, used where a screen actually needs it.

The maker

I turn references
into visual systems.

Graphic designer working mainly in posters, typography studies, and brand systems — self-initiated, reference-driven, made for the practice of it. UI/UX and product screens come second, picked up where the work calls for an interface rather than a print piece.

Currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (AI&ML) at GH Raisoni College, Pune, with a design practice shaped by event identities, startup assets, social campaigns, and experimental poster studies.

About me, but less LinkedIn

Part designer,
part side-quest collector.

I like making things feel alive, slightly dramatic, and a little too specific to be fake. Every brief starts as a reference pile before it becomes a system.

"Make it professional." Actually — make it weird. Good weird.

Outside the canvas I'm usually collecting references, turning stray ideas into tiny universes, or saying "one last tweak" with no legal commitment to it being the last.
