,,Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.

Design is a sea journey that does not have a

shore. In this journey curiosity and the love

of discovery never ends. Tools such as effort,

tender and patience are required. Throwing

ideas through the hock of creativeness catches

objectives. I am inspired by the purity and

beauty of nature. The shine of the golden sand,

the glitter of the sea and the gradient of the sky

are always my passion in designs. Feelings and

emotions could be addressed in the shape of

the words and that’s why graphic designers

consider typography as an important part

in expressing feeling and emotions. Arabic

and English typography are my visual ele-

ments for my translated messages. My great

experience was in Pakistan when I spent

one year studying in international school. I

loved Pakistan›s nature, people and culture.

I participated in a competition for Islamic Re-

lief Pakistan by drawing calligraphic Islamic

type. The period of time which I spent in

Pakistan gave me opportunities to deal with

people from different cultures, share with

them ideas and respect their believes and

thoughts. Through my designs I want to make

change in social life where conflicts can be

solved through visual communications and

also to serve humanity.

The logo for the ISEA 2014 Dubai

Conference uses both English and Arabic

to represent the merging of cultures in the

location of Dubai. The Arabic typography

repeats the word «Dubai» on 4 sides to

communicate the cultural context in which

the conference will take place. The logo

is designed to represent both electronic

art and the modern side of Dubai. The

type is also configured to represent the

old buildings in Dubai with a small dot to

signify pinpointing a location on a map.

TYPOGRAPHYGRAPHIC DESIGN

This project was an opportunity for me to

design a bilingual typeface. The typeface is

inspired by the flow of henna. It was a great

experience for me to get into the process of

designing a typeface and also appreciate

type designers. I named it Maitha because it

was based on my handwriting and I think in

some way it represents me.
