Calligraphy Work 'Featured'

I've always been fascinated by Arabic calligraphy, typography and its architecture. I just love the fluency and elegance in its style. It uses simple strokes to create complex designs.

In 2005, I had the chance to work with a fantastic calligraphy artist called Nawaz in Manchester who taught me how to write Arabic in its most elegant form called 'naskh'. I havn't looked back since and I now do it as a hobby.

I recently did a personal project on Arabic calligraphy in contemporary and traditional Arabic styles using Adobe Illustrator and two shades of gold and black. It was an instant hit on the Behance Network site and my work was featured on http://www.creativeroots.org/?p=5527 and http://designyoutrust.com/2009/12/13/muhammad-abdulmateen/ and http://www.typographyserved.com/ which showcases the best projects in the Behance Network, within specific industries.
