Networking Not working


I like playing with words that have a pun in them. NETWORKING and NOT WORKING were the two words that were going on in my mind while I was at a networking event that was not working for me. As a designer I got stuck between bankers and accountants who had no idea what goes behind Graphic Design.
I thought that these two words together creates an interesting illusion and I had to design a poster for such smart words. I enjoyed making this poster and I plan on making more TYPE based posters with such overlapping alphabets.

Magnify - Logo Design Competition





Logo Design for a magazine called "Magnify". The brief was to design a fun yet a sophisticated logo aimed for young women aged 20-28. The logo that they did have before was bulky, but then the company wanted the logo to have a feel of 'Bazaar' and 'Vogue'.
Although it is a new magazine with the right Logo the company wanted to aim more readers. I have submitted my entry - now lets see what happens.

UKIFF










I am a voluntary Graphic Designer for a film festival called UKIFF - UK Iranian Film Festival. This event will be taking place in London from September 19th - 26th. The concept for this film festival is to honor Iranian Films that are held annually across the globe - and now it has created a platform in the UK.

UK Iranian Film Festival (UKIFF) is a non-political, film-focused organization that aims to provide a stimulating and inspiring alternative to the film experience, alongside praising and promoting the art of film making.

The photography is the courtesy of Tilo Driessen - The image is a part of the Iranian architecture and culture, as they are known for their arches.I started off with the stationary design, then I made their poster and then from there on a postcards which is the main source of advertising and giving exposure to the festival.

Printmaking



designs solution for plagiarism






As part of my thesis in 2007, I wanted to explain what plagiarism was in Pakistan. 'Chaap' is their logo which means 'copying' in Urdu. I have surely exaggerated what plagiarism is, by tearing a part of the poster out. In this project I worked with five BTL's that were running around colleges and universities, along with similar kind posters.
