Several books on Mohammed Rafi were studied to see how his stories were told. The common issue noted was poor placement of images, and imbalance between text and images.
The copy of one such book, Mohammed Rafi – Golden Voice of the Silver Screen by Sujata Dev but restructured and optimized it for better storytelling.
Monochromatic photographs of Rafi with hand-made illustrations were used to add emotional feel along with calming tones of color for each section differentiating stages of his life.
