Of one Essence is the human race, thus has Creation put the Base;

i designed this poster for a calligraphy and typography poster exhibition in Ukraine today. I have used the old Iranian type of calligraphy called "Nastaliq" and the text is the poem of the famous Iranian poet "Saadi" which is used to grace the entrance to the Hall of Nations of the UN building in New York with this call for breaking all barriers:

"Of one Essence is the human race,

Play for Africa

I designed this poster for the world cup 2010 this summer when all the world were looking at Africa to see what would happen to soccer teams.
African masks are used in this poster as one the most important symbols of African art and culture. Two masks are the representatives of white and black race and obviously the pink heart is the symbol of love between different races. Sport occasions such as the World cup are the best symbols of love and peace between nations. The colors of the World Cup 2010 ball have been considered as the sign of South Africa and other African countries flags on the head of the masks and also the same pattern is used in the title of the poster. May the message of happiness and peace reaches everyone round the world just as it is the message of the world cups.

Teaching in an institute of higher education :)

Hi, as i told u ive been teaching graphic for 2 years (so i guess it should have been since September 2008 probably!) and i ve been teaching graphic design in the "
Tehran Institute of Technology (Niavaran Branch) and i had taken photos of my students' works but i have never thought of uploading those designs in my blog. About 2 months ago my father called me and said that an institute of higher education is looking for a Graphic art instructor who can teach lessons such as Layout, Designing signs, Poster and graphical softwares, well that was good news! i could be very helpful and it could be a very good experience for me too! so i decided to go there right away and thanks God it was not too far from home just an hour time to get there in the usual traffic of Tehran!
The institute was called "Asre Dino Danesh" (ADD) and it was a branch of "Applied Sciences" University which means "Elmi Karbordi" in persian. I had my first experience in the summer term there and i taught Layout/Phtoshop/Corel Darw/ designing signs there. I also had good students and this time i decided to upload their files! in order to let them be known and let myself see how i have taught them! :) i can also have an electronical connection to my students to let them know about different news while not seeing them.
here's the blog: http://dinodanesh-gd.blogspot.com
photoshop and corel students were not the first ones so i was not very much excited for what they had done, however the Sign Design and Layout works were really good ones. Therefore i made a blog and uploaded my students' works there. I will be happy if you have time and take look ;)
