A few examples of 3D models prototypes done using Arabic Calligraphy and Typography.
the pieces could be used in decoration or to achieve a specific informative or communicative function.

3D calligraphy pieces could be made with different types of materials like Wood, resins, glass, mirrors, acrylic and also with special materials if required. all the designs are made with strong focus on the aesthetic values of Arabic Calligraphy.

Each letter of these 3D calligraphy pieces is carefully carved using advanced technologies and retouched or polished by hand.

The official annual book and gift box that document H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid yearly activities. I worked on the Arabic calligraphy pieces that mark the beginning of each month in the book and calendar.
the box also contains a small agenda and folded calendar.

the Arabic Calligraphy part was developed first on paper then scanned and precisely traced over using Adobe Illustrator.

here is the Emirates logo. This piece was created for the UAE national day. It reads the word Emirates in Arabic logotype design with modern typographic treatment and the number 7 which represents the seven emirates, along with seven extensions of the letters A, L, R, T which is a subtle and symbolic representation of the seven emirates.

The design of the Emirates logo was printed on Tshirts celebrating the national day.

Here is the logo set for Almanzil, a new service by Grand Hyatt Dubai.
I designed a custom font inspired by Arabic traditional calligraphy and typography style.

I was also commissioned to make a classic fine art piece which you can find in the gallery below and the Calligraphy section.

My Artwork won the prize of the classical Calligraphy category during the Adio Visual contest at the Islamic Arts festival in Sharjah 2011.
