Cultural/Context information for the jury.

44% of Dubai's population is from India. They come here to work and save money, which they send home to their families. Whenever they buy something, they do a mental conversion of its cost in Indian Rupees. We took that behaviour, and turned it into a poster. Because a large majority of Indians in Dubai speak both Hindi and the local Arabic, we took 3 simple words that represented their daily purchases and combined two vastly different alphabets, finding the hidden Hindi in the Arabic word. We showed that with Citibank easy transfers to India, home wasn’t far away at all.
