Ngā Uiuinga me Najeeb Omar

I worked for several companies and institutions as a designer for almost 23 years,

varied between private and governmental.

Such as Reporters Training & Production, Dubai Tv, CNBC Arabiya and MBC Group.

I never choose to become a designer, it was inside me since i was a kid,

I started to be impressed with all kind of arts, staring at paintings and dive between the brush strokes.

Trying my best to understand how colors of nature blends in this magnificent way,

and how everything around me filled with details, and those details links each other.

All of that created something inside me, that makes me seek for more and more.

That haw I started to make my own designs, practicing for hours,

to reach that kind of professional artworks i saw around me.

My first important aspect to start a design, is by my hand, sketching is the first thing i do

when ideas or thoughts starts to flow in my head.

My keystone in all my designs is the balance, its there in my head, so i don’t trigger it,

it starts to guide me automatically.

Information and research is one of the most important things i do, it allows me to communicate

more with the idea and helps me link the all parts to achieve the best i can.

The emotions i feel when starting a design, is like falling in love with someone. you start getting closer and closer to know that person more, to talk and find the things he/she likes to share, and things he/she doesn’t.

To feel what makes him/her worthy.

I used to write and read a lot, and this is one of the greatest things that helped control my emotions

and direct it where i want it to be.

Classical Music as well, shaped my feelings, and gave me a deeper look and taught me how to take every step with care,

and never accept any careless move when it comes to art.

I think a lot about a design that brings together all civilizations at the same time,

showing their integration and harmony with each other, with their details and diversity,

and how each of them is an integral part of each other.

A design that indicates that we are all one entity that does not dispense with any of its various parts.

First, you need to love what you do, because when it comes from you heart, you will handle it with care,

it will end up a masterpiece.

If you believe you are an artist, then you are an artist, start looking at everything around you in depth,

and choose the right tools to express the world, no one can teach you how to become an artist,

but they can teach you how to use the right tools to make your creation visible for everyone to see & feel.

A successful design is one that covers the whole desired aspect from its creation; what it means, and why it has been decided to look and be shaped a certain way, as well as colored the way it is, and the message it carries if it has a slogan or so.

And its very important how it's been presented.

Each heart has its own key, only those who truly love can find it.

It is a relationship based on honesty and sacrifice.

Based on this fact, i created this character that represents a woman’s tenderness, femininity and strong personality,

who does not accept to open her heart except to the one who deserve it.

Thats why she made a special key and hid it in the deepest point of the sea,

then surrounded it with difficult tests that only an honest person could pass.

My main focus was to highlight the pure love relationship between two,

and how simple it seems to others, yet it contains a huge amount of details in its essence that defined all its paths and results.

I have two ideas, one is to engrave it on an ornate wooden and metal box, Its elements are interspersed with glass pieces

in special colors that reflect its fine details, and containing a real lock and key, to put the most valuable possessions in it.

and the second is to have it on the metal gate of a house with its lock and key,

and to include the same design elements in every window and wall.

Almost 4 months, from sketching to research to illustration to the final look.

No it wasn't commissioned, This is one of my own pieces of arts, one of many designs i did,

that add more mastery to me day after day, and a design that proves my abilities.

It is not produced for any company yet, but i started my research to produce it as a personal effort.

And i am willing to sell it if i get an interested buyer.

Self challenge, And i always wanted to discover my abilities , and to sail in the ocean of ​​art in all its directions.

Art is without limits, and there are always new methods & styles worth exploring.

I resorted to many designs, drawings and pictures during the search process,

and many designs of mysterious characters done by several artists, in order to help myself

in forming the idea and make it appear more beautiful and distinctive in its final appearance.

Everyone who cares about details and prestige illustrations, and mysterious geometric art.

Its unique shape and style, and the diverse combinations of symbols and techniques used to distinguish it.

I've often avoided the use of symmetrical geometry in this character, in order to give each shape its own personality, not to mention the emphasis on how they relate to each other in meaning.

And as always, I couldn't leave it without designing a unique calligraphic logo, to give the design its own identity.

The name is taken from the word Janan in the Arabic language, and it indicates the deepest point in the heart,

where the secrets and sincere feelings that reflect the personality.

And when that heart opens to those who deserve it,

everything in it comes out like a symphony that plays all the melodies of love.

The usual tools i use all the time,

The Pen & Paper, was and still my main material to start a design, write my thoughts or even sketch an idea.

Then for sure the execution part using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & Wacom Tablet.

It is the heart, and how it is based as a balance axis for the personality and its elements around it,

and its clear connection to the key. Two different characters separated by shape, connected by meaning.

No I did not collaborate with anyone to design this piece, it was a personal challenge.

But i got lots of valuable advises from my friends.

Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & Wacom Tablet, played a significant part of giving this piece its final look.

I received an email from the A’Design Award that they would like me to submit for the second time.

It was a wonderful moment indeed, and here I am filled with joy again and proud as a winner.

This work improve my ability to work with the consistency and detail of elements,

even amongst different objects and shapes, and I was able to discover a lot about how to express it in an effective way.

Falling in love with the mysterious mythology behind the Ancient Egyptian Civilisation

charged me to read more about it, and try to understand the symbols and designs

that represents the underworld.

To go deeper in each character they draw, to understand each ones power and level.

I was fascinated the most by Anubis "God Of Death" and what this character represents.

My main focus was to represent the power and boldness, seriousness, appearance and glorious look of this character.

A Character that had no bargains when it comes to death and the underworld.

I would love to physically sculpture it and use lots of elements & materials to make it stand out more as a physical character.

Almost 6 months, from sketching to research to illustration to the final look.

No it wasn't commissioned, This is one of my own pieces of arts, one of many designs i did, that add more mastery to me day after day, and a design that proves my abilities.

My next plan for this piece, is to produce it with best material available, and add it to my collections on my wall.

And If I find someone who loves this design and wants to get it, I will be very happy, and I will endeavor to produce it with the best materials as a print.

And I would be happy to lease or sell it to anyone who really wants to have it.

Self challenge, And i always wanted to discover my abilities , and to sail in the ocean of ​​art in all its directions.

Art is without limits, and there are always new methods & styles worth exploring and trying.

I resorted to many designs and pharaonic manuscripts during the search process, and many designs of mysterious characters done by several artists, in order to help myself in forming the idea and make it appear more beautiful and distinctive in its final appearance.

Everyone who cares about detail and prestige illustrations, and mysterious ancient art.

Its Unique look and style, the variety of symbols and techniques used to make it stand out.

I used Geometry to communicate the Expressions of the character.

the Uniqueness in using the Symbols of Egyptian History in the design in a different way, and the dark areas that hide some of the characters’ expression, gives it that mysterious look of the underworld.

The Judge, The design got its name because it is indeed Anubis, who according to Pharonic belief was the gatekeeper of the underworld.

He was the only one who could judge the dead, and decide if they could pass through the gate that separated life and death.

The usual tools i use all the time,

The Pen & Paper, was and still my main material to start a design, write my thoughts or even sketch an idea.

Then for sure the execution part using adobe illustrator and photoshop.

The Choker, it represents self-worth and an obvious level of charismatic power.

Despite the beetle being secondary, its value is contained within its intercession.

I did not collaborate anyone with this design, i did it on my own.

But i got lots of valuable information about the Ancient Egyptian Art from my Egyptian friends and colleagues.

Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop, played a big part of making this piece look like this.

The mythical and methods of the ancient calligraphies and arts, and how they tried to communicate.

The search process was wonderful and full of surprises, as I searched online and through books of ancient arts and cultures.

The biggest challenge was to create special symbols adapted from the Pharaonic symbols, in my own way, and to be different and distinctive.

It has already added a special design beauty, from the icons intertwining In the character, to the elements & symbols surrounding it.

I received an email from the A’Design Award that they would like me to submit this design.

It was a wonderful moment indeed, and here I am, one of the winners, and my heart filled with joy.

This work improved my ability to deal with the facial expressive details, and i was able to discover a lot about how to express it in an effective way.

I am a self-taught designer, developed and improved my skills with practice.

Everything around me is a motivation, like nature, geometry, colors, light and shadow, and the relation between all things.

Since i was a child, i scrutinized the details of everything i see, trying to understand its composition, and how it should be balanced with everything around it.

It was a deep feeling inside me, growing every day, and pushing me to express all my thoughts into something everyone could see and feel.

I never choose to be a designer, the design has been living in me since a was little.

It makes me focus on all the details around me, to understand how they are interconnected and harmonious.

Simply, design became part of me.

Branding, Abstract Illustrations, Expressionism Paint, Printed, Broadcast and Motion Graphics.

But the most close to my heart is Branding.

First, you need to love what you do, because when it comes from you heart, you will handle it with care,

it will end up a masterpiece.

If you believe you are an artist, then you are an artist, start looking at everything around you in depth,

and choose the right tools to express the world, no one can teach you how to become an artist,

but they can teach you how to use the right tools to make your creation visible for everyone to see & feel.

Thats Deep..

The Great designer is fully aware of every detail of the design, and of all the basic facts through which he can convey the most important idea.

And his ability to make most people fully interact with the design, and able to understand it at first sight.

I evaluate a good design from the way it has been designed, mostly the balance of the shapes or colors and how they are all put together, then if it has been created with care in terms of quality and details from the smallest parts.

Good Design is just like an elegant person, or a sweet melody that flirts with your feelings & emotion and takes you to your own private world in which you feel most happy, and which satisfies you positively to strive for success.

The first design I did when I got my first computer was a sports car design ... and I hope that I will have the opportunity to participate in a design for one of the car companies that I love, like BMW and Lamborghini , that will be one of the happiest moments of my life.

My dream is to have my own gallery, the place in which I can display all my works, designs, paintings and photography, with open doors for all.

A place where I can interact with everyone without restrictions or formalities, a place surrounded by the most wonderful musical tunes.

The only recipe i embrace, is that i love what i do.

Because when you do things with love and passion, definitely you will get the most amazing results.

Leonardo Da Vinci, Antony Micallef, Mike Dargas, Andy Brase, Jono Dry, Kai Samuels, Jared Mirabile, Steven Harrington, Michael bierut, Wolfgang weingart, Rob janoff, Massimo vignelli, Lindon leader, David Milan

First, The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci,

Because For me, it represents his genius in detailing the human body and how he came to decipher these wonderful standard ratios,

and summarize them with a single chart.

It is one of the most important drawings that made me drift to the golden ratio and use it in all my designs.

Second, is the Biomechanical Art by HR Giger,

His work affected me by the depth of its ambiguity, and the diversity of details.

Just looking at his drawings makes me navigate a unique world, distinguished by all its contents, with its characters that are very far from the norm, connected to each other by ramifications with a dynamic that almost makes you feel that it will move suddenly.

And those symbols accompanying each character, gave it its own entity.

I see it as a new language, created by a super creative person who drew it in a special style, in order to compete with it the languages ​​of art in all its forms.

One of my greatest designs, is Anubis The Judge; winner of this year’s A’ Design Award.

I consider it the best, because I show in it a lot of aspects. I mixed expressionism and geometric art in its character, in addition to creating and designing new distinctive symbols.

I based this work on a story I scripted for the character in new dimensions. I even designed for the character a unique identity with its own slogan and calligraphy.

In addition to all this, I produced a motion video promoting the character, and in collaboration with a music composer/ friend, I also produced a music score specially made for it.

All this under a structure harmoniously mixed with itself.

-Practice more, and learn to look at the most beautiful positive angles around you.

-Never compare yourself to others, if it weren't for our difference, creativity wouldn't exist.

-Belive in yourself, and do not let negativity get you down.

-Do not be in a hurry, give your piece of art its time.

I am sure i was born to be a designer, not anything else.

Design is a short story that takes you on a journey around the world where you can live moments of your childhood in its most beautiful, intimate details.

In short, it’s the beautiful cover of a book that makes you pick it from a stack of books, the purple scarf on the white dress.

Design is an International language, that everybody can read, but only few can write.

My family is my biggest suppor, they always push me forward and give me self-confidence beyond the limits, they have great effects in every work I do and every word I write, I would not have reached it without them.

Constant practice and awareness, will inevitably make you a better person every day.

Without the mistakes and persistence, we would not have learned to stand up and be better.

I was rejected and ignored by many, but that did not stop me from continuing and learning to do the best i can.

I was also suffering from a lack of resources, so i started to collect ideas from everything around me, and linking them together in all ways to produce distinctive results.

It should be presented in the best possible way.

In short, if it is printed; the type of paper, its attractiveness and the way the elements are designed and arranged are very important and play a big role in the attraction.

as well as if there is mockups to be displayed, it must be as very close and functional as it is to the final product.

As for the way the video is presented, consideration must be given to how it will start and how it will end, taking into account all the information included in and how it is arranged.

In addition to the high definition and sound quality, not to mention the basic idea and its harmony with the music.

The presentation will be much better when accompanied by a detailed explanation of the work.

I think a lot about a design that brings together all civilizations at the same time, showing their integration and harmony with each other, with their details and diversity, and how each of them is an integral part of each other. A design that indicates that we are all one entity that does not dispense with any of its various parts.

My biggest goal is to learn something new every day and develop myself, to add new dimensions to my design experience, and this will contribute to refining my skills, and will lead me to be more understanding of everything around me.

There are no limits to knowledge and creativity, and the day will not come when I tell myself, I have had enough.

The best i can, because every design i do, i do it from my heart.

I will use all my efforts to come up with a great result.

Every detail matters.

A designer is very responsible for the society. He/she must do the best he/she can on his/her designs, to seek creativity and never copy or steal others’ work, every designer should work hard to be unique, and work harder to achieve perfection.

Its like a chain of reaction, A bad design is like a rotten apple in a box, that needs to be taken out.

Am working on three personal projects, different from each other in style and method.

One of them is my Favorite, i called it “At 1st Sight “.

Its about a panther, and how it’s attracted by a butterfly, although it is a wild, magnificent and powerful beast. But the beauty and definitions of the butterfly takes away the panther’s wildness and turns it into kindness.

Working on TV Promotions satisfies me most of the time, because i can animate my designs and go through every frame to make it as a stand alone artistic frame.

We will not be able to change anything in the design industry for the better, if we do not contribute to spreading a detailed

and greater awareness of the importance of design in our lives, and that the designer does not have to be like a machine that carries out the work, but rather the distinctive creative outlook that made the idea an existing thing.

It is to take good care of the details of what we do.

this is what will make us add many dazzling elements, tools and creativity in the design industry in the coming years.

To be better is not to accept half-measures.

Design field is evolving too fast.

Design field is the future, and it will remain that way till the end of time.

It depends on the required object, the size, elements to be added, deadlines, and if its just a concept mock-up.

I did a concept of a Sofa for a Morning Show in MBC Group, and as i recall, and i finished it in two days, with a maximum of 12 hours.

The Great thing is, it's been accepted, manufactured, and used in the studio every morning for years.

After receiving the requirements and thoughts from the client after the first meeting,

Its always the pen & paper to start sketching the first ideas.

The creativity lies in paying attention to the smallest details.

It is a mixture of both, so one is not complete without the presence of the other.

Technology plays a big and important role in design.

As it is a tool that enables you to get many results in short time,

Not to mention it makes your work more accurate through measurements and all proportions.

My equipments are, a lot of pencils, charcoal pens, ruler, erasers and sharpener, as well as my sketch books that i carry with me all the time.

on the other hand, my Apple Mac that contains my adobe softwares, such as Illustrator, Photoshop & After Effects.

All of them play an essential role in the design, as they greatly affect the design balance in all its dimensions.

The beauty of the design is the balance of its elements and their interaction with each other.

I like people asking me about the steps I took, the balance of the design with its colors and elements.

And the way in which i linked the subtle details to each other, and how I was able to show the idea the way it appears.

Sometimes I'll say that's what I'd do if I were the designer.

But Most of the time, I find myself overwhelmed with the details of the design, looking at its composition, and the compatibility of its elements with each other, and how the designer reached such a wonderful result.

It is difficult to find someone that matches your ideas and design methods, as everyone has their own outlook and distinct style.

For me, my friend Fadi is the only one who I can comfortably work with, even I am sure he feels the same.

We all have great confidence in each other, that one of us will present the thing the other wants with its details, and we have come out together with wonderful designs over the years.

The most influential people are the positive ones. Not only in the field of design, but in various aspects of life .. Those who direct others to the bright perspective, these are the ones I surround myself with and listen to their opinions, because they have really affected my career greatly.

I read many design books of all kinds, ranging from identity design, calligraphy, patterns, motion graphics, video editing, geometric art, visual communication art, drawing and anatomy. I was also very interested in fashion and automobile design. All of this was accompanied by my love for photography, which had a great impact on developing my ability to understand balance in everything around me, like mass, light and color, not to mention the music, poetry, and fictional & historical stories that added more depth to my ideas and concepts.

Persistence, research, knowledge and constant practice are key factors that make us better every day.

I know very well that there are many difficulties, but nothing is impossible.

All of this has the effect of sharpening my skills and broadening my scope of vision, which will definitely lead to great results.

Leonardo Da Vinci, Because to me he is one of the greatest , who influenced the world and still does;

Through his art that exceeded expectations, and his love for innovation and passion for creativity and knowledge.

Even though it is my first world award, it made a wonderful resonance for me and i got recognized by many.

It is not difficult to be famous, but the importance lies in what you do, and whoever contributes to presenting you to the world.

Proudly, A’Design Award did that for me.

Red, Nature, Burger, Spring, Perfumes, BMW

What makes my day great, is that I am done with whatever previous work is, and completely free.

For me, this is a powerful incentive to start my day with new ideas.

I start with a new page from my sketchbook and listen to my music collection, or start looking for everything new in the world of design, because that's a wonderful motivator and a wide open door from which to draw my energy.

Thats what everyone use to say to me, my Family, my Teachers & my Friends.

But never gave that any attention, because my hands were busy designing and drawing.

It was in my blood.

Thousand years is a lot for me to think about,

But, After a Hundred years, i wish that we will not rely on robots to do art and creative designs.

I love to share what i know about art to everyone who love art.

collaboration with others, will make this world a better place, I still take some advice even from kids, and seeks others knowledge.

Life is art, and Music is big part of it, and it took a huge part of my life.

It all started with a pen, i used to focus on everything around me, and how all elements blended together, from the tiniest of insects to the farthest cloud.. i used to feel everything vibrating like a pulse; like there is a mechanism to every move. I started to copy those views onto my paper; drawing relentlessly. It created an indescribable joy inside me every time i grabbed my pen.

I didn’t have the luxury to buy papers every time I wanted, so I started to create my ideas on things like sand & dirt, using whatever resources available around me, from screws, to tree branches, to toys parts.

I knew then, i viewed things differently, viewed things in a sharper, more intensive depth.

I wanted everyone to see what i do, and most importantly, how i did it.

All these things together were my first steps for me to realize that this is me; this is what i love, this is what keeps me alive.

I don’t own a company; yet.

but it’s my own brand design that i use to represent myself.

Design is a short story that takes you on a journey around the world where you can live moments of your childhood in its most beautiful, intimate details.

In short, it’s the beautiful cover of a book that makes you pick it from a stack of books, the purple scarf on the white dress.

Design is an International language, that everybody can read, but only few can write.

Identity design is the closest thing to my heart, for an organization or company, printable, or as an animation for a broadcasting channel.

Branding is an art by all means. It simplifies the vision of the service, organization, product or even a person..

It collects all aspects and combines them into a balanced design by elements and colors, even if it’s a simple line with a slogan.

Janan, i can say is one of my favorite. It means “ the heart “ .. the main character is the horse’s head, which represents beauty and glory. The horse has a little lock in the neck with a heart shape, which will never unlock to anyone except the “pure ones”..

I used two techniques in this piece, and loved the result of the blend between them, it gives it a special flow in its final look.

I didn't stop there, following the same technique, i finished another piece that will be side to side with Janan.

it represents the one and only key that will unlock the heart.

I’ll have to scratch my head on this one! If I recall, the first design was a Logo for a foundation called “ UAE Travellers “. They used to travel in the region to seek and discover. The logo was a head of a falcon surrounded by two circles. the idea came to me from the falcon, that represents the freedom and endurance of living in the desert. Flying high beside the sun, watching everything from above, away from everything but still seeing all details.

The Pen & Paper, was and still my favorite material to start a design, write my thoughts or even sketch an idea.

For me, nothing is more natural and original.

Its the base of my work, and the first step.

Then for sure the execution part where i use softwares like adobe illustrator, photoshop and after effects.

I feel the most creative when I am happy, away from the crowd.

Fulfilled with nature and its purity.

At that special time, ideas flow without any obstacles.

I always find myself focusing on the tiniest details of every design, because I really believe when we do things perfectly from the bottom up, it will stand strong and without any flaws. Then every part after that will cone to place and unite with another perfectly.

The emotions i feel when starting a design, is like falling in love with someone. you start getting closer and closer to know that person more, to talk and find the things he/she likes to share, and things he/she doesn’t.

To feel what makes him/her worthy.

This the most beautiful feeling. when my designs are realized, I feel joy and happiness with every comment I receive.

Specially when people get the idea of the design easily and understand what it meant.

A successful design is one that covers the whole desired aspect from its creation; what it means, and why it has been decided to look and be shaped a certain way, as well as colored the way it is, and the message it carries if it has a slogan or so.

I Judge a design as good or bad, from the way it has been designed, mostly the balance of the shapes or colors and how they are all put together, then if it has been created with care in terms of quality and details from the smallest parts.

A designer is very responsible for the society and environment. He/she must do the best he/she can on his/her designs, to seek creativity and never copy or steal others’ work, every designer should work hard to be unique.

He/she is also responsible for the environment, by using as less as he/she can from it, papers, pens etc...

Design field is evolving too fast, softwares help a lot by shortening the time of the process, but on the other hand, it shows a lot of unprofessional work from some designers. It takes away the feeling from some designs.

Design field is the future, and it will remain that way till the end of time.

I always think that doing an exhibition must be done perfectly, well prepared and carefully chosen in the right time.

Having said that, I still didn’t do it, but highly considering it after finishing some of my paintings.

At first, it is so important to get the most of the client’s thoughts and aspirations as well as his/her desires, coz at the end, the design should fulfill his/her vision.

This information will help me start imagining how to put together my vision of the design.

Mostly, my inspiration comes from nature, when we talk about balance of weights to Elements, colors, and forms.

I do think of it as an expression made from lines and shapes, and how it is going to deliver the idea, and attract the eye.

If i want to give it a name, i would call it " The Transition In Details ",

i always wanted to leave a place for others to find themselves in my designs, to find an area in it, where they can feel it belongs to them, and to have the complete freedom to place their thoughts and imaginations.

That place is the transition between what they can see, and what i want to communicate to them.

i always find myself dive into every element details, and how to connect it to the one beside it, as if am translating an aliens language into a slightly understandable language to add a bit of mystery to it.

I tend in my designs to be impressionable, in a very meticulous details.

I live in Dubai, one of the seven states in UAE, and culture plays a big part of effecting my designs for sure,

the great thing is, Dubai is one of the greatest cities in the world, because its wide open and embraces all nationalities of different cultures & beliefs.

This gave me a wide range of positivities, and greater ease of engagement with all Cultures.

Most of the time, through my acquaintance and connections.

If you care about your job, and want it to look great, you should never ask a designer to do it in short time, or think about how much its going to coast.

choose the designer who loves the design, not the one who wants to show off, pick the enthusiastic and passionate for it, the one who starts giving you thoughts energetically as soon as you sit down with him.

The one who will never make payment his first priority.

As simple as, receiving the requirements and thoughts from the client after the first meeting, then start sketching the first ideas.

the second meeting will determine whether or not the client is satisfied with the results.

Then the joy begins, and i start the design journey.

From sketch using the pen & paper, to illustration, coloring, creating shapes, animation, etc. using adobe softwares.

My favorite design items, are the Figures of my cartoon SuperHeroes, miniature concept Cars, Lion, Horse and Gladiator Sculptures, and my own Paintings.

I believe that every day is a new chance. That is why i start my day with a look at everything around me, and how nature is breathing and ready to be discovered.

First, you need to love what you do, because when it comes from you heart, you will handle it with care,

it will end up a masterpiece.

If you believe you are an artist, then you are an artist, start looking at everything around you in depth,

and choose the right tools to express the world, no one can teach you how to become an artist,

but they can teach you how to use the right tools to make your creation visible for everyone to see & feel.

For me there are no negatives of being a designer, except how others look at the designers and how they treat them.

being a designer is the thing that makes me touch and feel the beauty of everything around me.

My golden rule always is details and balance of all aspects in design and photography. Light and shadow, colors and objects, and how to combine all that on my frame or sheet.

Sketching is a really important skill because it will let the designer draw the idea and explain it to the client, also it is a great brainstorming area before starting any design, knowing the balance of the design, and how to use it.

understanding colors and how to blend them the right way, knowing how to use design applications and switch between them.

My toolbox contains lots of pencils, charcoal pens, ruler, erasers and sharpener, as well as my sketch books that i carry with me all the time.

on the other hand, my Apple Mac that contains my adobe softwares, such as Illustrator, Photoshop & After Effects.

True, but sometimes i wish my day is longer, so i can work more.

Sometimes i hope i don't get tired, because i live deep in design moments, but this is life.

I take a break sometimes, and stay away just to clear my mind, and receive some positive energy from other things, like music, books, or even watch a movie, or have a cup or two of espresso.

It depends on the required object, the size, elements to be added, and if its just a concept mock-up.

I did a concept of a Sofa for a Morning Show in MBC Group, and as i recall, and i finished it in two days, with a maximum of 12 hours.

The Great thing is, it's been accepted, manufactured, and used in the studio every morning for years.

it’s always a question of surprise and curiosity, like, how did you do it? How long does it take from you to do all those details? Can you please teach me how to do it?

Branding, is the most wonderful experience I've ever had.

MBC Group, Reporters Training & Production, Wael Habbal, Rexana, Sulaimani Cafe, Dance N Beats, Content Arabia, Tales n Frames Media And More.

I really enjoy working on TV Promotions, where i can animate my designs and go through every frame to make it as a stand alone artistic frame.

My plan for the future is to have my own company, working with amazing selective designers, and to open a gallery of my paintings and photography.

The best way to create magnificent work, is to do it as a team. To give every part its own area of creativity, all that depends on the project needs, but i do projects myself from time to time.

I have three designs in progress, but the most exciting one i called “At 1st Sight “.

Its about a panther, and how it’s attracted by a butterfly, although it is a wild, magnificent and powerful beast. But the beauty and definitions of the butterfly takes away the panther’s wildness and turns it into kindness.

Any one can contact me through my social media accounts & friends.

My great attachment to understanding geometry and its wonderful effect on the visual and tangible mass of the elements, made me associate it with most of the artworks I do, because it creates an amazing balance. Therefore, I created special harmonious symbols that follow a harmonious flow between each other using quarters of a circle on one hand, and the full circle on the other hand, taking into consideration the reflection of this on the viewer's eye as if he is watching the same style of Pharaonic drawings but from a distinctive modern perspective.

What distinguishes hieroglyphic drawings the most are their symbols and the amazing diversity in their composition, as each symbol represents a special form and meaning. Regardless of the meaning of the symbols and the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, these drawings captivated me and took me on a deep journey, through which I weaved a world of my own, and through its reflections created a different model in composition, close in meaning and distinctive in status. As if I see that era from a different parallel world, through which I translate any language in my own way.

I am still a fan of the old school "as I am always told" pen and paper are the basis of every artwork I do.They are the real translator and the building block for ideas, through which I express everything that goes on in my mind, no matter how complicated the details are.It is as if I train my fingers every time to master drawing, and when the line I drew will start and when it will end and with which line it will intersect.It is the most enjoyable process through which I determine the best way to move to digital implementation.I then start with the digital process, and "in the case of Anubis specifically" I decided to rely on integrated circuits and their intersections in drawing the elements, although this is a complex and tiring detail, but I wanted this particular work to have a special character.Not to mention following the rule of thirds in measurement to add a noticeable visual and physical balance to the work for all the elements.

Through my deep research into Egyptian civilization, I found that the beetle and the scale are two essential elements in the drawings, and they were mainly linked to the gods that the ancient Egyptians worshiped, and how they represent a certain mechanism that connects them to the gods,From here I decided to tell a different story that gives these two elements a special connection to Anubis, so I linked his decisions to the scale and gave him the title of judge instead of being a terrifying god of the underworld.With the greatness of his personality and judgment, it became necessary to have a mediator in special cases, and here I made the beetle an intercessor for sins, and a weight for the scale.

I have always relied on quality in my work, and I give the work its ideal time, no matter how long it takes. I wanted the design of Anubis the Judge to be distinct and different from the works I have seen for this character from different artists, even in the smallest details. I wanted it to carry a different meaning and unparalleled elements. So it took me a long time to decide on the most appropriate style with simple visual communication, even if the details of its elements were complicated.

Before starting any work, just thinking about how to implement it creates excitement in my heart, and I imagine the final form of the work and recall how to accomplish it, and the appropriate materials that can be used to reflect its essence and add greater value to the work, beyond the usual perspective. All of this makes the decision to start implementation and choose the drawing style more clear.

Determining the character's point of view has a great impact on the viewer, as you notice here that he is waiting for you face to face.With features of great confidence, emerging from the shadows and dark colors, and eyes from which the pupil has disappeared to add mystery that does not highlight the judge's feelings in any way.On the other hand, I made the necklace, crown and the rest of the elements appear as if they were part of the character, with flowing compositions that reflect weight and majesty at first glance, with a dark color composition whose elements are defined by the ancient gold color.I did not forget to add the pyramid element that is fundamentally linked to the Pharaonic civilization, and make it a logo associated with the name that I designed specifically for the identity of Anubis.The design process went through many stages and was based on the basic high-precision design, to give the character a prominent presence.

With all confidence, I consider my step in participating a wonderful qualitative leap in my artistic career, and a valuable leap that opened many doors for me personally in challenging myself, and a wonderful opportunity to prove to myself and to everyone that the journey of art has no end.This appreciation contributed to instilling a spirit of challenge and determination in me,and taught me to search more deeply into the details of other cultures with their arts and the diversity of their ideas and styles.I consider it a rich leap in my career, which added another luster to my new works and taught me new techniques and styles that showed my works a different kind of beauty.

I am happy to see you notice this.The idea behind the size is to make the character close to reality to penetrate the viewer's feelings, as if the character is standing in front of him with his majesty and clear decorative elements.This is reinforced by the clear presence of the scale at the bottom, which is associated with the beetle "the owner of intercession".

Some cultural information from my Egyptian friends enhanced my research in understanding the Pharaonic civilization, as they were the coexistent and close observers of those monuments in their minute details.This added a deep understanding of the elements, and a clearer vision of the hieroglyphic language and the characters of the pharaohs and their historical status,It gave me the ability to deduce elements that are different in form but close in reasoning and harmonious in meaning.
