Arabesque- Graphic Design from the Arab region and Persia

2008-04-22T12:47:00.000-07:00

My work has been published recently in Arabesque - a book that features graphic design work from the Arab region and Iran. Work that deals mainly with Arabic Typography and Arabic Calligraphy.

The book features great work. I was really fascinated with the amount of talented Arabic and Iranian designers who has been doing a lot of great and inspiring work with Arabic typography and calligraphy. I personally think every designer and student should buy this book, it will help develop our type skills and allow us to think how to integrate Arabic type in a more interesting way in our personal or commercial work.

Editors: Ben Wittner, Sascha Thoma, Nicolas Bourquin
the book has been done by EPS 51 who also designed Talib Font, which I have featured before in the blog.

Please check out the book, and if you get the chance to buy it, trust me you will not regret it, its very inspiring. At last we are are proofing that there is so many interesting things you could do with Arabic type and calligraphy.

i Love arabic calligraphy & Type!

2008-03-14T17:08:00.001-07:00

i love arabic typography and calligraphy
there is just SO MUCH TO LEARN! and i personally think it is so damn intresting!!

Iam in Holland, the plan is to apply for school.. though i dont know if iam fully convinced that i should apply! the thing is, when you spend 3 years working it gets harder to make a decision to apply for school.. when you do a real experience, projects that you know it gets you somewhere! emmmm.. makes you wonder and ask yourself why do I need MA...

emmmmm... ok i know what i like, i like to work on Arabic type and Arabic based projects! meaning projects that focuses mainly on Arab culture, and focuses on showing the beauty of the Arab artistic elements.

I just personally think that Arabic Type and Calligraphy, is something beautiful..
In my training here at Tarek Atrissi studio, iam at last getting to work on projects that i seriously love... Alot of Arabic calligraphy work involved, looking alot at other peopls work, trying different kind of arabic type and calligraphy approaches... I would like to buy alot of books about arabic calligraphy, so much to look at and read..

Alot of them are in french though, blekh..i wish id understand... its a shame how there are little arabic published good books about calligraphy, and meanwhile youd buy arabic calligraphy great books published in french only...emmmmm makes me wonder..

well then i think again about the MA idea, if i do it.. itll be a good way to spend experimenting and exploring arabic type.. that is one of the things that keeps me attached to the idea of MA...

White Drapes by Reem Al Ghaith

2008-01-14T01:47:00.000-08:00

She lies down in the arms of her white drapes
as her days recall the folds around her muted skin
the scent, the smell all she remembers is as soft
as her brown fine hairlines crumple the Persian silk

She lies, she smiles as she set her timer
the alarm that awakens her from all things beautiful
her soft hands gather the drapes once and twice for warmth
as her mind sets between the feathers of reality

A breath, a melody that reveals
as the versus repeat
and the flashes race down
her veins, her existence
dreamingly it all begins once again

Her soul awakes as the drapes are carried away
and her silent figure forms
as the voices shatter
as figures dance to find an answer
and all she does is withstand,
cold and muted her eyes search for him

Her land, her beauty, her dreams
all of which he masters
him the tallest of them all
he raced with his arms to hold her
and yet he took so long
once and twice upon a time

She envisions beauty, faces, lives and mankind
all to amuse her and greet her as time flies
and of all she still waits
she awaits him
she awaits his volumes, his chapters, his words
but they are only empty to begin with

To begin her narrative
her story; her visions; her life
without him
she mustn’t

The drapes fall as a series of images
pleasant ones that pass through her mind with a sound
as her long fingers reach to store it away for the next day

Her windows open as the tender light hit her translucent features
her eyes glare as they behold the sequence of today in a reflection
a white ceiling; a tinted glass; a broken light bulb, her velvet curtains
of all she remembers
yet another dream of his existence.

he's style is very much inspired by japense graphics, and all the character designs on modern everyday consumergoods in Japan.. He uses alot screen printinggg! thats what i loveeeee and the layering he does is a killer!

"The physical elements (touch, smell, layering) of printed matter add a
disctinctive richness to the work. By doing most of the silkscreen prints
myself at Kees Maas' workshop/publishinghouse Interbellum, I'm free to experiment. " Harmen Liemburg

harmen gave lectures in Cal Arts, MCAD and other schooollsss

love his work, very experimental! I think american university of sharjah should invite Harmen! there are so many talented people out there, do something about it :)

Nja Mahdaoui at Meem Gallery

2007-11-10T22:46:00.000-08:00

Nja Mahdaoui is a Tunisian visual artist and a calligrapher

Well, in his lecture, he was talking about how his art of calligraphy is not based on traditional calligraphy; he works on his art to make it look more global. If you pay attention to the calligraphy text he writes, his words don’t say anything specific. He concentrate to make his work more global, so people out there are not missing any information, and they would look at it as an artistic piece.

" It is the world of signs which is disturbed: no signification- explanation, nor any designation to trivialize a memorized thought. With its distance from the world; the sign offers a new visual opportunity of a presence - material synthesis, signal - temporal - global graphics. Nja Mahdaoui

A sister a friend a great fashion designer!! She started her fashion brand " Toksic" a year back and since then she has been successfully working on making it all happen. She has been selling her work since then at boutiques in Dubai ( Amzan, Cube, etc..) I just love how she combines different material together, the Bright fun colors adds great character to the style. Her personality is very much reflected in her designs, and I personally believe a designer always reflect his personality and style on his work. I would like to share little paragraph I copied from her website .. and Ofcourse without the support and help of her great mother she wouldn’t have made her dream happen.

"toksic is strictly high street fashion. it's about women expressing their individuality through the way they dress up, their behavior and their attitude. it’s about personality, character and self-expression. being unique, confident and courageous. dressing up in bold colors and loud prints. getting attention. getting the killer-look; the look that "kills".

Experimental Design - Martin Venezky

2007-10-09T07:12:00.000-07:00

why does everything have to be in order? why do we always have to follow rules????? why cant we just do things out of the blues?? EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN is the answer for designers out there to get more creative, to start doing things without worrying so much about the results, trust me it'll give you great results.

here is some of pargraphs, from an interview with martin venezky.... hey Abeer i think ive seen his book once with you, thats how i got to know about him, i think it was reems book.

"SU: Many would call your approach "experimental." Do you believe this is a fair appraisal?

MV: The term “experimental” is often used as a code for unusable, weird, “crazy” or “going wild”. But I think that is a big misunderstanding, and something I try hard to correct in the classroom. When I teach an experimental class, I am quick to explain that experimentation is a methodology.

SU: What do you think is being implied by that?

MV: It suggests a circular set of steps: setting up an experiment, running the process, analyzing the results and then letting the results guide the next experiment. There is no external aesthetic to experimental work. It is as much about setting criteria and using them to analyze results as it is about the producing of the material. Far from “going wild”, it is a very rigorous exercise that allows a designer to confidently engage in work whose results are unpredictable. So, yes, I think that a lot of my work is experimental, but not in the ways that most define it. " SPEAK UP By : Silas Munro - interview with Martin Venezky August 1, 2005.

A book of nonsense

2007-10-08T04:04:00.000-07:00

back in uni, a friend got me a nonsense book by edward lear, since i was so into nonsense poems and things.. not everything have to make sense in this world!!

There was an Old Man in a boat
by Edward Lear

There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, "I'm afloat! I'm afloat!"
When they said, "No! you ain't!"
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.

There was a Young Lady whose nose
by Edward Lear

There was a Young Lady whose nose,
Was so long that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an Old Lady,
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose.

By moving the post-its from the word 'Show' to 'Off' the piece was constantly altered by it's participants". alex bec

'It's amazing that a simple device like that still works. You link a colour to a political program,
people say 'this is ours now' and suddenly flags, t-shirts and scarves in that colour stand for
political beliefs and hopes. I'm always curious though; are we out of colours?' – Christoph Keller
