I was born on January the 1st in Dubai, UAE. When I was young, deep inside me there was a feeling or a thing that made me love art and every thing in it, where I used to wake up early in the morning and watch art shows, and start to do the things that have been showed. I knew from that time that when I grow up I want to study art!!
I went to Dubai National School, where I finished my high school in. I graduated in the year 2005, and before graduating I knew that I wanted to join Zayed University and study art.
Next semester I will be a senior in Graphic Design.
University was the best part in my life where I have met new people and friends, and I’m going to miss it when I’m done.

More Process

 

We used grid papers to formulate our kufic and english letters. Below this image is our film sheets that labeled each shot we took while filming. These were really helpful because I was able to determine which arabic parts meant what.

I will be a senior graphic design major next year at Maryland Institute College of Art. I grew up just north of Boston. I decided to travel to Dubai because I really wanted to know more about the Middle East. I wanted to understand the fear behind the image that American media spews out every evening. I wanted to unwrap these false preconceptions and get to know people that call the area home. I wanted to expand upon my experience of social design. Design can be so many things and do so much towards change. That is what I hope to continue learning.

Two Posters

 

We wanted our poster to mimic the the dual conversation we have in our video. By having these posters visual join together we are able to tell this story of two cultures joining as one. Before dividing the poster, it composition was conflicting with the type, each battling for attention. The two posters resolves this friction.
