Fashion Accessories Egyptian Hat design Goal: Design a modern egyptian hat. My inspiration came from the “Scarab beetle, The beetle was always seen carrying a sphere above its head where it kept its eggs, and that is the reason behind the association with rebirth, a blue stone in the center symbolizing life, “blue represents life and re-birth in their culture.” The upper perfect sphere stands on an erratic half-spherical base, which is made out of wires. The reason why it’s erratic is to match human’s characteristics, where humans are disordered and unpredictable, as it’s the part standing on the head. I attached the two spheres with circular shaped wires and multi-colored beads representing the hands/wings of the beetle as seen in ancient drawings.
Sculptural Glasses design In this project we were asked to design glasses that demonstrate our personality, In my design, I focused on how my left-brain and rightbrain work simultaneously, yet each one plays a whole different role.

Theories of Visual Communication
4th Semester
The course examines the fundamental characteristics that differentiate visual images from other modes of communication and considers ways that visual elements convey meaning in isolation and in combination; exploration of creative processes to promote creativity
Minimal Design Posters
Minimalist Design is using less to create more. The term minimalism is used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Omitting all non-essential or un-important details, which don›t really contribute to the essence of the overall composition.
Dispicible me, Movie Poster. In designing a minimal movie poster, as I mentioned in minimal art definition, I must use least possible elements and the movie must be recognizable. In this poster, I chose the eye and yellow color for the background to present the yellow creatures which are the most distinguishing characters in the movie.
Matchboxes Design for Advertising Purpose
Matchboxes will serve as an advertising tool for a Movie Festival where several movies will be played. The boxes have on them; posters of these movies designed in a minimalist design.
Signs & Symbols
In this project a story must be displayed in signs and symbols and text, No photos, no drawings. Text can be used as anchorage or relay. The symbols must be displayed in a way related to the story’s massage. I displayed the story on a table lamp’s shade, I printed the signs on transparent slides to transmit light, I used this way of presentation to match the concept of the story.
Recycled Art
A cross-body bag made out of newspaper. I chose to use newspaper because it’s the most wasted material.
