BAAGHI speaks to young

urban rebels who see street

walls as voices of resistance,

culture, and untold stories.

BAAGHI is more than a magazine , it’s a rebellion in print. Centered on the evolution of Indian graffiti, this 16-page visual journal explores how public walls across the country have become canvases of protest, poetry, and power.ach spread blends sharp editorial writing with layered visuals, offering a gritty yet poetic lens into India’s rebellious visual underground.


With bold colors, Hindi-Urdu typography, maps, murals, and quotes that sting like slogans, BAAGHI documents a resistance that is loud, local, and unapologetically desi. From past to future, analog to augmented, it asks: Whose streets? Whose stories? Whose strokes?

expression into a bold editorial magazine?”

Typography

The magazine follows a consistent 10-column modular grid system across each spread, allowing for flexible yet structured composition. The layout uses a combination of 4- and 5-column text blocks with generous inner and outer margins to create a clean rhythm and enhance readability.

The grid also accommodates a baseline alignment for body text, while headlines like "Virasat" and "Shor in the City" intentionally break the grid for expressive impact.
