ABOUT INTRODUCTION
Graphic design is one the most dynamic fields, where designers develop images that give voice to the world around us, making them communicators and problem solvers.
Graphic designers provide creative communication solutions across the fields of media, publishing, advertising, packaging, branding, corporate identity, TV graphics, animation, corporate communications and more. I studied the graphic design program that built upon promoting a thorough understanding of the creative design process, a realistic balance between developing your conceptual thinking and mastering the skills to express your ideas visually. It is structured over a period of 4 years that cover the study of corporate design, visual communication, printed publications, packaging, graphic techniques, typographic compositions, colour perception, digital imaging, multimedia/ interactive techniques, art history, and photography. And in the final year, students synthesize the acquired knowledge and skills to develop components from the final year research into a significant graphic design project.

Alia Flowers was founded by the Alia Koleilat in Bahrain in 1978. The shop Innovated the notion of a flower shop, with new business lines added over the past few years to offer a one-stop shop for all the event needs.

FEELS LIKE HOME TASTE LIKE HOME Innovation Coffee House is the newest addition to Innovation Themes It is all about creative living centered around art, design and culture.
The cafĂŠ serves the food on the vintage innovation cups and plates but for takeaway they use plastic containers for the cakes.
They believe in giving people a beautiful, comfortable and creative atmosphere that feels just like home.
From their slogan and the style of the shop I created the picture of two couples sitting in innovation cafĂŠ, to be the picture for the new packaging.
In this project I focused on the coffee house in the innovation theme and especially for the cakes packaging.
I used watercolors for the packaging and I created the window display in the same style. Also I designed the advertising by after effect program.
