Hello,
I'm Fenna and studied graphic design(master) at the Sint-Lukas Hogeschool in Brussels. I'm originally Moroccan, but born in Belgium. I have a kind of an addiction when it's going about typography, especially the arabic type.
At the moment I'm working as a freelancer for the Flemish-Moroccan Cultural House, called DAARKOM, which is going to open in 2008. Beside this, I work fulltime as a graphic designer for addictlab.com (a platform for designers located in Brussels). You want to know more? Would like to hear from you and your interests/projects..
greets,
Fenna
My Graduation Project: VERWOORD
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as distinct religions of the Word, through their common roots in the Old Testament, have an extremely problematical relationship with every kind of image culture. In spite of this ban, the image is ubiquitous and as a medium could not possibly banned from our society. In contrast, the word (typography) has had to live in the shadow of te image for too long.
"verwoord" is a graphical reflection of the competitive struggle between word and image through the image ban. Immersed in the laguages of the image ban, letters resemble people, laws destroy their image and fragments form an image of the word.
