This book is a collection of explorations of icons, index and symbols of the spotted deer. The project started by choosing any state animal and simplifying its form and prominent features to create icons. 

I chose the spotted deer of Telangana. India hosts the largest number of spotted deers in the world and they are very social animals. They play a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance of the forest by eating the weeds.
