Beauty and the Beast1

while studying in the 2nd term of M.A one of my friends asked me to design a poster for her puppet show named "Beauty and the beast". The story was like Disney's. The bad character had a limited time to find a kind heart and in the last minutes of the show it happens and he turs into a kind charachter when the last petal falls.

After winning the 1st prize

After winning the 15000$ prize in "The 1st world Monotheistic REligions Award" I had more selfconfidence to prove myself as a graphic designer.I designed a project for the museum of Imam Ali which was called "The Imam Ali International painting sypmposium". So many painters were called to send their works by the title of "Justice and Humanism". I chosed sun as the symbol of Justice and it is also in the symbol of Imama Ali in my cuture. so this common sign could lead the viewer to find the diffeent colored rays as different international painters who wanted to show the justice in their paintings. This project was supposed to be published in offset and have billboard and ... but they changed it to digital printed posters and banners for the lack of budget. Anyway it as a nice and enjoyable projetc for me and i still love that big gold sun with its title written by Nastaliq (an Iranian type of calligraphy).

And the Eternal Sunshine!

well, adding to the last poster i upload i sent this one.

again for the "The Unity of the Monotheistic Religions". i designed this poster inspired by one of Melk Imboden's posters and then the titile came to my min itself. It s the 40th part of Yasin Sooreh in the holy Qoran. in this part God says "... the sun never osculates the moon and the night will never  intercurrents the day and all of them are praying in their own firmament".

i used the last bold part as a symbol of a pluralistic view. the Truth is one and unique and all religions are like revolving around it, as a symbol of solar system, as a symbol of Hadj ceremony, as a symbol of everything containng a circle and rotation. it can include all the world not only the religions. and it can also stand for anothe part of Qoran which the great God says " the God is  like light the of earth and heaven". Later i saw this model in so many things in nature as flowers, as rain drops and ...

i love this poster and its content

anyway in January 2007, this poster won the 1st prize in "the first award of Monotheistic Religions" and i still feel pretty happy thinking of that day, but i believe it was all my God's affection. He himself helped me designing this poster and inspired me the title.

you can serach my name in google and find websites about it but thuis is the direct link

the sunshine of my life

well i dont know how many of my posters has been updated yet, but i guess i ve updated most of the ones which were designed before winter 2007. :)

in summer 2006 the Imam Ali museum of religious Arts asked graphic designers to participate in a poster competition called "Monotheistic Religions". in this competition designers were supposed to design their posters on the subject of pluralistic visions on different religions and that most of them, have the same goal and the other subject was "peace". I chose the 1st one and designed 2 posters for the competition one of them was this one:" 

in this poster i ve used iranian old lithographic illustration technique and ornamentals to design a poster with 5 angles (as the sign of 5 Great Prophets: Adam, Ibrahim, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad) they are all holding a book (brought form sky) and so all are talking about the one unique truth.
The txt in the lower part of the poster is a translation of the last 2 parts of “Baqare” sooreh(sooreh is the name of every chapter) in the Holy Qoran; it says “our prophet is faith to what we told him and the prophets before. There s no difference between the God’s prophets. …”

another practice

well i must be really sorry for not coming to my weblog for a long time. My dissertation needs a lot of study and i m teaching Adobe Photoshop & Corel Draw to students at the same time so i m really really busy these days! :)

well, this is another practice in Mr.Abedini's class. the title is "Iranian traditional music" and the form is inspired from an old motif on the Sialk Potters.(ancient Iran) the color is exactly got from the potter and its feeling too for emphasizing on traditional atmosphere of the ceremony. 

Tehran Book fair

and these 2 posters were class practices for "the 18th international book fair". Reza Abedini liked both of these. :)   

Typography poster

when i was a junior in the faculty of fine arts, i had a real nice class with Mr.Reza Abedini. I Do belive that he is a real artist and he was also a good teacher for me. i learned so many things from him. this poster was a part of our university project and its subject is "the first Iranian typography exhibition". i thought alot about the sbj. i wanted to do s.th that others do not. and i decided to use latin alphabet for writing a farsi(persian) txt!!! an English reader can never read this poster but just the one who knows farsi and latin alphabets at the same time! the whole atmosphere is inspires from a webpage and the place of adress and date is exactly the same. :)
