Design Studios that i like " 2. Abjad design "
ivisited there website , it was amazing , i like the way they represented themselves , first they explain the meaning of the word abjad , because its an arabic word . Then they wrote a short story about how did they open the studio , that was a creative idea . the story was simple and at the end of the story they explained about the design studio and what they do .
the last two paragraphs talks about the two founders , each paragraph talked about one of them .
In general the about us page was simple , not too much information . i really liked the story part .

I visited there website and i liked the way they simplify everything . First they mentioned that they are the largest independent design consultancy and they are 19 partner , they work as a group of friends . they also mentioned the countries they have offices in and the fields they work in . and the last paragraph was about the process of their work , that each client will work direct with one of the designers .

Reza Abedini " Graphic Design is a kind of Phoenix .."
Reza Abedini ..
He is an iranian graphic designer . Studied at the school of fine arts . his studio is in tahran . And he also teaches in tahran university .
Although i don't understand pharsi , I admire reza's art work . His posters explain it self . His typography posters are my favorite , i love the way he put the image " illustration" together with the type.
As you can see reza's art reflect the iranian culture and history . Its interesting how he represent the history in a modern way through the typography posters he designs .
Through my reading about his work , i red that he uses old poems in his posters . He is emerging two arts in one piece , the drawing with the poem . He once said that the poems he reads inspires him to do those drawings . That what really amaze me about him .
I also like the way he explains what happening around him in his country in his posters without saying a word .

I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares

Saul Bass " Design is thinking made visual "
Saul Bass ..
An american graphic designer , born in may 8 , 1920 in New York city. Studied at the Art Students League in Manhattan. He moved to Los Angeles in his mid twenties to pursue his career in graphic design .
Saul Bass is one of the designers that his work inspires me a lot , i like the simplicity in his print design and the ideas in his motion graphics . the poster of the man with golden arm and the title sequence is my favorite . Its simple and deliver the massage to the audience is a simple smart way .
In general his designs is really amazing both the print designs and the movie animations . He is not only a graphic designer , he is also a film maker .
His most famous logos are AT&T , Continental Airlines and Jet-stream . And for the movie animations the most famous one is for the movie "vertigo" the color he chosen for the movie titles was really strong . He used black , red and white .
His movie titles were different than other designers at that time . His movie titles gives you a little introduction about the movie in a simple way , it really attract the audience and make them more interested to watch the movie ..

Still Waves of probability
Still Waves of probability :
By Mira Schendel .
Actually I liked all the pieces of art that we saw in the
exhibition. Her work was amazing. I can’t believe that she designed all of this
in this period of time, for me it looks so modern. The painting, typography, journals and all the
pieces we saw was inspiring .
I liked this piece of art the most . this piece was made for
the 1969n Venice Biennale .
What I liked about it is the effect that the threads gives
you , its like your seeing something through them but its not clear , something
blurry . Something visible and invisible at the same time . I liked the way she
explained the script from the first book of the kings into this and how did she
symbolized it.
The Oil Room
The oil Room :
The oil Room or the “ 20:50 “ was designed by Richard Wilson
in 1987 , and was displayed in Saachi
Museum in 1991 . This room was custom built for this design . The name of the design is “ 20:50 “ and it is
the name of the recycled engine oil used .
I really liked this room because it was way different than
the other designs and pieces of art we saw . for me it meant something , not
only a room full of a black liquid . this room reminded me of my home , my
country and the development that happened after the oil was discovered .
Oil is everything for us. Our economy depends on this black
liquid and as we call it the black gold.
The idea of keeping the oil in the basement in a closed room made me
realized the importance of the oil , its
like keeping something valuable in a safe .
I really liked the reflection of the ceiling and the windows
on the oil and the contrast between the white and the black with the light from
the window , it is an amazing idea .
