Motivation for IC 2013

I want to show how motivated for IC 2013 I am, the best way to express it is through what I do best, so I drew this.
Let's hope for the best!

Photos from MENAXLDS 2013

As the only designer of MENAXLDS, I was also the only photographer of the event. These are from the best photos that I took that I personally like.

MENAXLDS 2013

I was the only designer of MENAXLDS 2013 (Middle East and North Africa Exchange and Leadership Development Seminars)
This is by far from the biggest and best projects I have handled.
It wasn't easy, but I pulled it off all by myself.

I did it also at the end of a depression phase, so it was with the help of some friends which I can not be more grateful to have.

The logo.

For an overall identity, I wanted to capture the multicultural history of Lebanon in order to represent the true face of Lebanon, so I made the logo built of Arabic, Latin, and Phoenician letters overlapped into a circle. Later on I added a symbol relating to the Lebanese Cedar (Cedrus Libani)

Study Tour Posters

Study tours were made before and after the conference, to show all of these locations and explain all the details of the tours was to go minimalistic in the design with a proper grid layout

Delegate Mailers
These were used to inform the delegates more details of the Congress Committee, the Facilitators, the venue of the conference, etc. I used a common template for all which is based on the 3 alphabets used for the logo.

Portraits from Global Village

So as I was attending the RIE conference, I got my first (unofficial) CC job, a photographer of a conference. They saw that I had a semi-professional camera, so the organizers asked of me to take photos of the conference. After that, I wanted to grab some portraits of people there.

I like taking photos of people but not while they are looking at the camera.
But some people can't help but to notice the camera and just smile!
Here are some the photos I truly like.

Arabic in Colombia

It was one of the best things ever to represent my culture in a foreign country.

It all happened too quick, and I was unprepared.

I was in Colombia on an internship with IAESTE to finish a university requirement (professional internship)

During that time I had time to meet AIESEC Colombia and the conference Rights In Exchange for Colombia (RIE) and go to the global village. But I knew of the global village at very last minute, and I prepared nothing to represent Lebanon nor anything Arab, so I had to act quick.
Luckily I had my pencil case in my bag and with me was one of my ultimate tools, the calligraphy pen. I asked for white papers and started practicing calligraphy (unfortunately a dying art)
So basically I was writing people's names in Arabic, this I have to say is the best way to represent my country and my culture. I don't know what else I could do in such a situation.

Anyways, long story short. It was truly one of the best AIESEC experiences I could have.

This is a photo of a cute girl who passed my stand, she was too cute not to take a photo of!

Internship in India

I started working in AIESEC, its an awesome organization for exchange programs
And I am working as the graphic designer there. I got the task of doing a poster for a short internship in India on short notice.
So I thought, what could catch the eye, Indian, and not too cliche Taj Mahal, Curry, stereotypical India.

Do I remember that India is famous for its monkeys. And what catches the eye the most is a baby monkey. What cuter can you get than a baby monkey.

I came up with this.
