محطة مهندية
































































Looking onto the impact of Turkish soap-operas in the region, particularly in KSA; I made this comic book to reflect people's obsession that came along with it, highlighting the most popular series and characters like Muhannad for example.
There were some really shocking yet funny incidents I came across while searching about the topic that I've included inside.

P.S. I know I previously posted about this but luckily for me, I was able to make few final amendments before the night of our graphic design exhibition. And so here I'm sharing my favourite spreads.

Hala


First, sorry for the weeks silence. I've been out of the country for 3 months and hardly had time to post.
A couple of months ago I took some photos of the ever so amazing Hala!
We were going to college daily for summer courses. So one day I decided to use my long breaks to my benefit. 
We went to the backyard, took some snaps and soaked up as much sunshine as we could bare cuz it was insanely hot.

Beirutful Memoir



Here are some things I stumbled upon during my last couple of visits to Beirut and thought were worth sharing. 
Let me start with Leila Restaurant

Laziz Cafe
Cafe Hamra
Stencil

And finally, this poster was placed among many others in Hamra st. but this got me wondering what it meant.. Apparently, it highlights the fact "how girls no longer carry meaningful names as their grandmothers did. Most of the names nowadays are Lara, Yara, Lana...etc." - said my Lebanese friend.
