Work that deals mainly with Arabic Typography and Arabic Calligraphy. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Editors: Ben Wittner, Sascha Thoma, Nicolas Bourquin<br />the book has been done by EPS 51 who also designed Talib Font, which I have featured before in the blog. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />http://www.arabesque-graphics.com/main.htmlDiana Hawatmehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242891806227060111noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975958472584297164.post-29759979656656583832008-03-14T17:08:00.001-07:002008-03-14T17:21:57.673-07:00i Love arabic calligraphy & Type!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWALkTGDI/AAAAAAAAAjA/dff042wbwmA/s1600-h/1.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWALkTGDI/AAAAAAAAAjA/dff042wbwmA/s400/1.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177756388953364530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWArkTGEI/AAAAAAAAAjI/spnOtzqj4cA/s1600-h/10.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWArkTGEI/AAAAAAAAAjI/spnOtzqj4cA/s400/10.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177756397543299138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWA7kTGFI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/uKe1UjzTJUU/s1600-h/39.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWA7kTGFI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/uKe1UjzTJUU/s400/39.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177756401838266450" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWBbkTGGI/AAAAAAAAAjY/zuCKyV5ZYAI/s1600-h/1804947214_cee9e030a2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R9sWBbkTGGI/AAAAAAAAAjY/zuCKyV5ZYAI/s400/1804947214_cee9e030a2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177756410428201058" /></a><br />i love arabic typography and calligraphy<br />there is just SO MUCH TO LEARN! and i personally think it is so damn intresting!!<br /><br />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...<br /><br />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. <br /><br />I just personally think that Arabic Type and Calligraphy, is something beautiful..<br />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..<br /><br />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..<br /><br />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...Diana Hawatmehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242891806227060111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975958472584297164.post-89394149487933930122008-01-28T00:51:00.000-08:002008-01-28T00:56:55.775-08:00Pillowing!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52Ywin7laI/AAAAAAAAAig/et1Mhkr1L-E/s1600-h/Picture+33.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52Ywin7laI/AAAAAAAAAig/et1Mhkr1L-E/s400/Picture+33.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160448707731887522" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52Ywyn7lbI/AAAAAAAAAio/5C5vz4q4NQk/s1600-h/Picture+35.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52Ywyn7lbI/AAAAAAAAAio/5C5vz4q4NQk/s400/Picture+35.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160448712026854834" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52YxCn7lcI/AAAAAAAAAiw/QwyvNHR3oBM/s1600-h/Picture+34.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/R52YxCn7lcI/AAAAAAAAAiw/QwyvNHR3oBM/s400/Picture+34.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160448716321822146" /></a><br />http://itp.nyu.edu/~jyp243/jy/pillow.htm<br /><br />this is very funny!!!! a good way to carry your pillow wherever you go!! office?? emmm meeting :D <br />Anywhere!!

This font explores the experimental possibilities of merging the two distinct visual styles. The designers of eps51, Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma, created Talib during their one-year stay in Cairo, Egypt. Influenced and inspired by their visually vibrant surroundings, the designers created this Latin font which instantly transforms your graphic language and gives it an Arabic look and feel. The font is available in three selling weights including Talib Old Style, Talib Mohandes Regular and Talib Kulkufi Rounded & Squared and we’re throwing in Talib Mohandes Fragment for free to those who buy the full family.

He uses alot screen printinggg! thats what i loveeeee and the layering he does is a killer! <br /><br />"The physical elements (touch, smell, layering) of printed matter add a<br />disctinctive richness to the work. By doing most of the silkscreen prints <br />myself at Kees Maas' workshop/publishinghouse Interbellum, I'm free to experiment.

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. <br /><br />" 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.

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. <br /><br />"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".

Back in school, he always enjoyed involving characters with power, as you see in his work. I like his printmaking work, always bussy and there is always something going on in the background. He is so into japanese illustrationss...Well, c'mon salem you should keep working on ur character design, who knows maybe you could publish a book with all ur designs one day :) <br /><br />oh and his water color work is awesome, he's really good at paying attention to details. <br /><br />to see more of salem work, you could contact him at<br />salem_ks_ali@hotmail.comDiana Hawatmehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18242891806227060111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975958472584297164.post-70060833843298617242007-10-25T05:47:00.000-07:002007-10-25T05:59:01.058-07:00Omar Al-Zo'bi<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSkuVcIoI/AAAAAAAAAY4/T2Ij3BaXKno/s1600-h/Picture+13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSkuVcIoI/AAAAAAAAAY4/T2Ij3BaXKno/s400/Picture+13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125257535558525570" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSk-VcIpI/AAAAAAAAAZA/-gaxw6ASlA8/s1600-h/Picture+14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSk-VcIpI/AAAAAAAAAZA/-gaxw6ASlA8/s400/Picture+14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125257539853492882" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSlOVcIqI/AAAAAAAAAZI/AqUjdMB8NNA/s1600-h/Picture+15.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSlOVcIqI/AAAAAAAAAZI/AqUjdMB8NNA/s400/Picture+15.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125257544148460194" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSlOVcIrI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/rnUZHFbNFgM/s1600-h/Picture+16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrN1tjh5_H0/RyCSlOVcIrI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/rnUZHFbNFgM/s400/Picture+16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125257544148460210" /></a><br /><br />I thought i'd share Omar work with you guys, I love his illustrations!! very special style, a great artist from my home town Salt - jordan currently doing his BA in London.
