Arabic Type Design For Beginners An Illustrated Guidebook (English and Arabic Edition)

This publication is an illustrated guidebook on Arabic type design as taught in a series of workshops organised by the Khatt Foundation and hosted by Tashkeel in Dubai in 2011-12. With the goal of introducing designers and visual artists to the process of experimental type design, its methods and the skills entailed, this collection of principles and tools targets beginners, and especially graduates and professionals, in the field of graphic design. The book is divided into two parts: richly illustrated and concise descriptions of the workshop lessons and presentations, and following that, a section detailing the design process and examples produced by workshop participants.
