PROJECT
Coffee Table Books
CLIENT
The following books were made while I was working for the Al Bayan Newspaper in Dubai. One thing that I had to get used to, was the reading orientation from the Arabic language (from right to left), completely the opposite of our Western reading orientation (from left to right). Since these books have the Arabic text and the English text translation on the same page, it was a real challenge to design the pages without losing readability for both languages
The Official History of Al Nasr Club
“Al Nasr – The Official History of Al Nasr Cultural and Sports Club” tells the story of this renowned Football club from Dubai. From its humble origins to the glory of its titles, earned over the years in different championships across the region.
Working on this book was an interesting experience where I had the opportunity to meet and interview some of the still-alive player legends from the club.
Design responsibilities: cover, endpaper, internal layout, photo editing, and the pre-press production process.
Arabic Calligraphy Exhibition
This book was made for an Arabic calligraphy exhibition on the occasion of the Dubai Art Season. It showcases the art of Arabic calligraphers from all over the region, from seasoned masters to emerging names, all sharing their love for this traditional art.
Design responsibilities: cover, endpaper, internal layout, photo editing, and the pre-press production process.
Book Packaging Boxes
These boxes were made for different coffee table book titles, taking a lot of care with the measurements so they could properly fit in a “coffee table” book size format.
