i really liked the website and the way its been lay out .. 

the background created a dramatic effect to the feel of the website ...

i like some their work specially the egypt project in term off colours, type, and illustration.

work experience

this is the other poster that i have designed for the same brief. 

the idea came from brain storming the word integration, sound, different opinions and discussion between people which usually vary from pleasant to argument for that i choose to create an image of the sound vibration overlapping to bring the idea of 'integration' 

  

i choose the gray coz it stand between black and white which emphasize 'the dilemma' which is what the talk about. 

i choose Helvitica to be my typeface as its simple and has the same design character of the designed image. 

work experience

This is one of the first designed version that i have developed. The idea is to create an illustration that would represent the Western muslim will be living among religious wise. looking at the illustration it has the Christian, Jewish and Islamic symbols. 

I chose the colour green as its the main colour representing islam!!

 

designed by Muiz

thats the Mpq given style.
 As a designer i was given less than two days to come up with 2 ideas representing ' the dilemma of Western Muslim communities'.

the MPQ has a certain style that I will have to follow which sometimes it makes the idea and design creation a lot easier however sometimes it could restrict ideas too. the main reason for sticking to a style is for people to recognise mpq manchester events with out looking even to the logo or the title.

work experiance

Yousf Ali is a designer who inspires me a lot by the way he uses simple typefaces creatively and the way he approaches briefs and solve design problems.

Recently he became the MPQ MANCHESTER's director . as i always wanted to work closely to him to learn from him. I contacted him at the begging of February for a work experience. We meet on the 7th of Feb and he offered me to work as one of the main designers. 

I started working straight away and have been given the first design job; which to create an A3 poster and E-poster too. 

Manchester short movie

I was given the opportunity to make a short movie about Manchester.

as part of the brief i have been given the choice to shoot anything that i found interesting around the city.

Manchester fountain is based in Manchester Piccadilly Garden which is on of the most important land mark in the city.

 

In the film I choose to keep the original sound to bring out the Mancunian accent. 

Blast designs

I liked the University of Sussex's logo so much which i have been shown in a slide show given by our tutor,  that I have researched the Design agancy.

Blast is based on London since 1996 and specializes in brand identity.

here is some of their work which i found very interesting.

I like the use of typography its creatively positioned and structured giving the piece a character beside, the use of white space which emphasize the beauty of the Font.

more over the use of colour is so important to strength the theme.

i really found the carrier bag very cute as it looks like your walking the dog while carrying the bag.

research

my last brief involve working in a group to create a logo representing an event that is based on a location.

This logo is designed by Blast its considered as a very good logo because its adaptable and can be used flexibly as in the joined U to represent the word university and S for sussex create the word us which could be used in slogan and many other promotional material.

the joined letters gives the word more strength which impact the uni too. the typeface has been uniquely chosen to give functional and trust touch.

This Tomorrow, Catalogue of the exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery

1956

by Edward Wright

As part of the Live Brief, we have to design a booklet to promote the photography student.

I found this design while researching Edward Wright's work. 

ahmed mustafa

 am interested in typography English and Arabic they both have completely  different characters.

while researching artist that are exploring the beauty of arabic type, I came a cross Ahmed Mustafa an egyptian artist. I am not in to his calligraphy(short religious phrases  in a shape of animals) but this particular design has the stencil touch in to it using the type as an image.  He layered the same word several time to give this style yet they look precise.
