The letters will be treated as formal elements that test the limits of readability. Urban and architectural elements from the the Dubai urban landscape will form the starting point of the typographical explorations. This workshop serves as a concept development session for potential typographical projects.

The workshop will teach basic principles of designing an Arabic typeface, and will demonstrate the ornamental possibilities of Arabic letters. It is intended for design students and professionals from various design disciplines (graphic design, architecture, furniture, textiles and jewelry design).
