Challenging her dislike of reading the newspaper, illustrator Ankita Shinde aims to read at least a story or two daily in her project I Doodle On Newspapers (IDON). Her idea is simple enough – to just doodle on any story that catches her eye, which will hopefully help her to focus on the story at hand.
So far, Ankita says that the project has helped her become more aware of the events happening in society. After turning the plain newspaper images into coloruful icons, Ankita animates it and uploads them to her website, making for a much better read of the day’s stories.
We hope Ankita won’t stop reading the newspaper, because we thoroughly enjoy her doodles! Text referenced from Masala Chai. Gifs from Ankita’s IDON.
