project - ISLAMIC ART (2)

This time I decided to portray the 5 PILLAR's OF ISLAM very simple really but very important.
This is a personal project for potentially my home. Its always good to have a nice reminder about the core beliefs of ones religion.



  
I plan to have this printed onto some nice 150gsm gloss/satin poster paper possibly A2 size.

assalamu alaikum

project - ISLAMIC ART (1)

I've been busy creating new bits and bobs, my latest is this piece of commissioned artwork for a fellow brother. It is a different take on Islamic Calligraphy. The colour combo is just something I threw together but once that has been finalised I'll have this sent to the printers to be made onto a stretched canvas.

This is what is says:
 - bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm -

- In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful -



Since it it the Holy month of Ramadan I'm busy working on mainly Islamic based projects so expect more in the coming weeks

assalamu alaikum

I HAVE RETURNED! project - BEDROOM

I know its been a while since my last update, but I've been busy redecorating my room and it took awhile since I was doing most of the work on my own and a lot of the tasks were first timers! Well its just about finished so I can now get on with some design work! (yay!)

I've been busy working on a new design for my Eid-UL-Fitr celebration cards for this years up n coming Eid (20 odd days to go!). Well the design work is steadily developing and I'll be posting my progress very soon.

A shot of my new work station, U can see how I've opened up lots more space that wasn't there before.


Overall a massive improvement on my previous make-shift desk!

project - H V ESCORTS

Recently I was approached by a pair of young entrepreneurs who are trying to begin an escort service (not your ordinary type of escorting!!!). Well anyways after several meetings a design brief was put together which which basically required multiple business card designs created, but when I asked for their logo there wasn't one. So this project turned into an identity creation.

I spent several sessions trying to define the style these guys were after:


Then came the development which required my attention a few times:


But in the end we got there:



Stay tuned for the business card designs!

WORKING PROGRESS

Quite a hot day today, so I decided to take a break from work and pickup an unfinished piece of work whilst I listen to the cricket. Well anyways this is my progress after about an hour.



No clues to what it is but then I'm sure the grill gives it away!

1ST OFFICAL POST! project - S A TUTORS

Well this will be the first time I'm posting some recent work.
For the past few weeks I've been working on designs for a business card for a friend of a friend. I won't bore you with the development process on this one, below is the end result which I think came off excellent.


I think the chalkboard look really appeals to the target audience and relates to the the profession! Plus the client is mega happy with the concept which end of the day is all that matters


DETAILS REMOVED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS

Just awaiting final approval then its off to print!
