The first day of the workshop went really well. We looked at different calligraphic style while assessing their potential as a source of inspiration for contemporary typographic work. Each participant is working on an Arabic version of an existing Latin logo and we’ve discussed the various possibilities for each adaptatio. The results are looking very interesting!! Below are some pics.
Everyone has willingly jumped into the exercise. Pens, paper, and a lot of creative energy!

Gary works on an utra-modern design with a strong and solid look.

And this is BOLD! Very interesting… Soft movement and super dynamic look and feel.

And this just feels secure and professional, no?

Calligraphic Naskh can be frustrating sometimes :)
More updates later :)
