In designing this poster titled "Sparkling Evolution: The Journey of Crystal Jewelry," I aimed to capture the essence of crystal jewelry's dynamic nature through a visually compelling composition. The heart of the poster features 3D crystals that I meticulously designed using Cinema 4D, offering a realistic and vivid depiction of crystal forms in striking reds and blues. These crystals burst forth from the canvas, symbolizing the vibrant beauty and complexity inherent in crystal jewelry. With bold typography integrated seamlessly over the image, the design merges text with visual art, emphasizing the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and innovative techniques in jewelry making. This approach not only highlights the aesthetic allure of the crystals but also narrates the artistry and evolutionary journey of these natural elements as they transform into timeless adornments.
In designing the poster for my MFA thesis show, "FORMULA," I rendered a 3D brain using Cinema 4D to visually manifest the tumultuous terrain of my emotions and thoughts. This intricate digital sculpture is the centerpiece, chosen to embody the introspective journey of my thesis, expressed through video art and experimental typography.
I incorporated a sense of glitching, a nod to the unpredictable disruptions of television static and strobing lights, to symbolize the erratic nature of mental states and feelings. This visual disruption represents the fleeting clarity within the chaos of our innermost reflections. By crafting this piece, I aimed to offer a glimpse into my exploration of the psyche, shaped by the digital realm and the profound complexities of emotional experiences.
The poster for the "Perspectives Design Symposium" is a striking visual study in depth and dimension, perfectly embodying the event's focus on depth, perception, and creativity. Its central feature, a hallway receding into a black sphere, offers a literal and figurative play on perspective, while the checkered floor and shading give it a three-dimensional effect. The use of halftone in the graphics adds texture and a vintage quality that contrasts with the modernity of the theme.
The color palette is subdued, with gold accents providing a touch of elegance and drawing the eye, reinforcing the symposium's emphasis on refined design. Bold, structured typography frames the top and bottom, anchoring the composition and creating a balanced, cohesive design that invites viewers to explore the event's exploration of design principles. This symposium in Tehran seems to promise an engaging deep dive into the world of design.
These three posters were specially designed for a conference hosted by Northern Illinois University, aimed at welcoming new professor candidates in time arts and video art. Each piece is part of a larger visual campaign that reflects the university’s innovative approach to contemporary art education.
By combining compelling visuals with thoughtful design, the posters aim to inform and inspire potential faculty and participants, creating a welcoming atmosphere that promotes the exchange of fresh ideas and academic collaboration within the fields of art and education.
The "Insights Unveiled" poster visually encapsulates the essence of a philosophical conference with its stark contrasts and geometric precision. The color scheme is deliberately limited to black, white, and a striking red, creating a visual parallel to the conference's exploration of perception and reality—black and white symbolizing clear dichotomies, while red punctuates the quest for knowledge.
The sharp angles and clean lines form a complex, almost optical illusion-like centerpiece, drawing the eye inward to a spiral that suggests the unraveling of complex ideas. This bold composition not only captures attention but also provokes thought, mirroring the intellectual stimulation that the conference promises to provide.
In this design for the Tech + Art Fair poster, I've aimed to visually represent the convergence of technology and art. The centerpiece, an iridescent figure encapsulated in a geometric cube, is intended to evoke a sense of transformation and innovation. A holographic color palette set against a dark background highlights the event's forward-thinking nature. For clarity, the event's details are rendered in a straightforward, modern font that complements the overall aesthetic. It's my hope that this poster not only conveys the necessary information but also kindles curiosity and excitement for the fusion of these two dynamic realms.
I designed this poster for the Thrill Ride Motorsport Car Show 2020 to capture both the excitement of motorsport and the local culture. The color palette—burgundy, white, and black—is inspired by the colors of the Qatar flag, connecting the design to its location. The geometric shapes in the background are a subtle reminder of the flag's iconic serrated pattern, adding a sense of national pride. The sleek lines and dynamic angles of the car are meant to evoke the speed and precision of racing, while the typography adds a bold, futuristic touch. My goal was to create a design that reflects the thrill of the event while also grounding it in the cultural identity of Qatar.
This poster is a reflection of how abstract ideas take shape and become reality. The geometric forms represent the structure of creativity, while the vibrant colors and dynamic lines symbolize the energy and movement of the innovation process. The message—"Imagine. Create. Innovate."—captures the journey from a single thought to tangible creation. I wanted the design to inspire a sense of possibility, reminding us that every great idea starts with a spark of imagination and the courage to bring it to life.
This 'Cover to Canvas' poster serves as an artistic announcement for a book company specializing in art books, embodying the transformative journey from written word to visual spectacle. The design is a homage to the process of crafting creativity, with bold graphics that merge iconic elements of writing and painting, depicting books, pens, paintbrushes, and easels against a backdrop of solid, earthy tones. Each element is silhouetted to suggest a story becoming a tangible piece of art.
The typography, reminiscent of classic printmaking, underscores the fusion of traditional bookmaking with the artistic process. The tagline "Crafting Creativity, From Words to Wonder!" encapsulates the company's mission to turn the literary into the extraordinary. This design aims to resonate with art enthusiasts and readers alike, inviting them to explore the rich tapestry of art books on offer.
