Arabic for Designers - Tapa dura

In Arabic for Designers, Second Edition, Mourad Boutros has overhauled his critically acclaimed primer for non-Arabic speakers who wish to implement Arabic into various visual designs, ranging from corporate to artistic. The new edition features a completely new design and more pages, keeping pace with recent changes in the use of Arabic in multilingual visual marketing and design campaigns. Since the release of the first edition, the need for companies in the West and Asia to utilize Arabic has increased exponentially, and Arabic for Designers is an essential tool to do so effectively. Boutros draws from his impressive portfolio to provide heavily illustrated case studies of recent redesigns and logotype conversions for European and Middle Eastern printed media, websites, and television networks, including the BBC and Al Arabiya. With more than 200 examples of the best in contemporary Arabic typography and graphic design, Arabic for Designers is an illustrated primer on how to work with Arabic and respect its nuances in order to utilize its intrinsic beauty.
