In my work, I follow a meticulous process that involves thorough conceptual and strategic development, comprehensive research methodologies, and a collaborative approach. By employing these methods, I assist brands in creating differentiation in the market, specifically through the development of Arabic logotypes.
During my observation of Arabic logotypes in the region, I noticed a prevalent trend that falls into two distinct categories. The first category comprises generic designs that lack character and customization, while the second category focuses on customization but neglects the essential principles of Arabic script. I strongly believe that both of these approaches devalue the brand's image and undermine the efforts of designers.
Driven by my passion and this observation, I have chosen to specialize in Arabic typography within my work. This enables me to provide innovative solutions that not only respect the fundamentals of Arabic script but also elevate the brand's identity and leave a lasting impact.
