Artist Statement
That and watching anime ( Japanese Cartoon), inspired me to decide my first steps in drawing anime.
I became fond of arts in, but then I was interested in Graphic De-sign, and I was very inspired by many famous artists such as Chris Jordan.
It is Something, I didn’t try before, I was also inspired by some of the Graphic Artists works like Yodabaz, and Victor Toyens.
So I went from there doing illustrations, taking photos which is initial for my work, Designing stuff like posters and packages.

Alkhor BrandingMother of Dubai A1 Poster Spring 2012
Mother of Dubai It is the core and the starting point where Dubai evolved from. It is the raising mother of Dubai. The poster created on the right represent the motherly part of Al Khor which are calm, wise, and old, but still the strong.
Sketches of Ideas
The Main Keywods: contain, rais, and embrace. This is just an idea of how I magined Al Khore as a raising figure of Dubai based on the history it has, but that
couldn’t cover the main idea I wanted to show.
Key words: Starting point, development, Alkhor as a guiding time of which Dubai evolved from. This Idea was perfect as a timeline for Dubai. It didn’t serve the purpose of Al Khor as a Mother Figure of Dubai, which was the main idea that I was trying to achieve

Process and Development
This photograph right here was taken by me when I visited Al Khor for researching and gather-ing information.
First when I reviewed all the photos for finding other ideas for the poster. I saw this photograph of Al Khor water and thought, this is it.
This is the perfect image to represent Al Khor as a mother figure. Because the water give a warm and calm feelings. I thought that, this is the core of Dubai were everything started because in the very old past, there was nothing but this water.
Adjusting and play-ing with the image to prepare it for creating the final poster

Alkhor BrandingSpring 2012 A3x2 Spreads
Magazine Spread Design
Sketches of Ideas
Those two spreads features articles on Al Khor, and related topics. The main idea for this spread design is the inter-esting element. Al Khor is interesting, vibrant catches the eye, and stay within memory.
The goal is to create a spread that is as inter-esting as Al Khor in showing its aspects and features, people, stories, and events. That is achieved through the use of interesting images of Al Khor with interesting layout of text, and pull quotes.
CONCEPT
I want it to feel lively, at moment, feeling the steam. My design should be like feeling you have visited Al Khor already when you just had viewed the spreads.
LAYOUT
Creating a layout tha is as interesting as Al Khor, no specific rule. Using aspects of Al Khore.
TYPOGRAPHY
Strong and simple type is the best sulotion for this idea.

Water is one of the elements in ancient Greek philosophy, in the Asian Indian system Panchamahabhuta, and in the Chinese cosmological and physiologicalsystem Wu Xing. They are able to change their color, as they have a strong Yin energy. Gemstones of Water have sedative effect. Gemstones of Water are useful in meditation since they help to achieve relaxation. These gemstones help to see the essence, the fundamental principle in everything.
