More blog banner designs, oh and more Nail It !

 

 

 

Nail It is finally blogging. I designed this banner a while back and i am excited Shaikha has finally launched it. I used the same font, the same logo elements and of course the logo itself but with a different name.

Created a new Logo and Blog Banner for Slaytar

My latest work is for Slaytar.com blog

Origin of the word : Derived from the English word accelerator, which Kuwaiti’s Pronounced slaytar.

Slaytar is a representation of the acceleration felt in today’s society with continious developements, the pace of Kuwaiti life is constantly evolving to incorporate these changes we’re experiencing.

To reach full slaytar one must absorb, interpret, and develop the changes that are occuring nowadays, just as our ancestors did years ago.”

-Slaytar.com

What law of three?

Who says using more than three fonts doesn’t work? Cawston Press pulled off using at least four different fonts in different colors and sizes on their tetra cartons. Looks great.

Bazza Cafe’s Identity

In my recent visit to Bazza cafe, I captured only some photos of interpretations of their logo. I liked how they had it on the walls and on some tableware.

Yooni in Ramadan..

One of my latest projects was designing these stickers for Yooni Bar’s Ramadan Drinks. Several factors were taken into consideration during the designing process, while we also had some challenges.

Starting off with limitations, TIME was our biggest. With Ramadan around the corner, the stickers had to be designed prior to receiving the bottles! But we managed. COST was another limitation, especially that this product line is to be produced for a limited time only, but it was dealt with here by combining two drinks into one sticker which cut the printing costs by just about a half.

As for factors that were taken into consideration, the colors were given as they are the logo colors. As for they style, since the products are based on our favorite oldies (especially during Ramadan), I liked to give the stickers a washed out or worn out feel with some classic decorative ornaments.

                    

Origami and design

I have always seen origami inspirational in design.. I wonder here if Canary’s logo was inspired by the origami bird or was it the other way round!?
These pictures were taken as i was strolling along Singapore’s stores.

Typewriter Font in Action

I never really knew when to use the Typewriter fonts, or never really had the opportunity to play with it.
Typewriter fonts are the only serif font that I actually like!
Here are a few examples of random things I found that use these kinds of fonts.

Some of Kuwait’s Blog Header Designs

I’ve had several requests to design blogger headers lately. Before I start with any design I usually take a look at what is already in the market, that is Kuwait.

I tried to take a quick glance at the top 100 Kuwaiti blogs listed in Danderma’s blog , and the top 20 blogs listed by the M code.

Here are some of the headers that I liked or found positively interesting; just in terms of personal taste.

New Smile Dental Spa Ads

These are two ads I designed for New Smile Dental Spa..

It was challenging to try to show the importance of two extremely different services in one tiny area! Not only did New Smile want to emphasize on their highly qualified dental care services, but they wanted to show that their patients will be pampered to the max! They provide a free service of all kinds of comfort, that includes massages, music, arometherapy, TV, a sea view and more..

Nail It – The Story of the Logo

This project started off with the idea of having a classic Soad Husni theme (only cuz the owner is a fan).. but then turned into a jazzy theme with shades of blue along with black and silver… We did not let go of Soad Husni though! The owners favorite classic is right there, in the logo. The objects (the flower, the butterfly and the circle) are all inspired by Soad Husni’s clothing !

I Loved working on this project!
Nail it launched March 2010, more details are available on the Nail It facebook fan page

Print Magazine issues three annual magazines, the Regional Design Annual, the Interactive Design Annual and the European Design Annual. Aside to their annual publications, Print issues up to six magazines per year.

Print’s Regional Design Annual 2009 combines the work of US-based graphic designers that have published any kind of printed communication in the US, they participate to be a part of the RDA competition.

Even though this magazine is based on imagery with minimal captions, it still includes interviews with the winners of the RDA competition to show where their inspiration comes from, plus interviews with a few designers who have inspired others. The judges of the competition are also interviewed here to sum up briefs about the work that is being generated in each region..

This magazine does include countless inspirational material ..

A User Guide.. Kuwait

This is not a real user guide, its just another assignment.

Sponsored by Kuwait’s patriotic photographers, I put together this collage of photos to show different aspects of Kuwait as part of an assignment to create a user guide cover.

The main point of this is to work on photoshops different filters and put pictures together to simply practice photoshop !

All the smaller pictures in the circles were created using two filters with different opacity to give the desired effect..
