Ramadan Kareem

The AUS Alumni Assosciation - Abu Dhabi Chapter Iftar/
28th August 2010

It's the Ramadan season again... so Ramadan Kareem to all!

[Kareem literally means generous. We wish people a very generous Ramadan, since this is the month of giving generously to the poor and needy.]

Being an American University of Sharjah (AUS) alumina, with a BSc in Design Management; I was requested by the Abu Dhabi Chapter, part of the AUS Alumni Association, to design an e-card for their Alumni Iftar Event - taking place in Abu Dhabi during the Holy month of Ramadan.

When designing the card, I was tempted to use the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the most important Abu Dhabi landmark and the 8th largest mosque in the world (has the world's largest carpet and the world's largest chandelier).

The approved e-card design

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do. ~Kahlil Gibran

New Baby on the Block

60 Baby Shower Favours for Batool Jr. /
Deadline, 1st August 2010

Batool Sr., one of my very best friends, has just welcomed her first newborn niece: Batool Jr., born on 17th July 2010 @12.08am.

For this occasion, I was asked to design, craft and customize those adorable favour boxes with a "New Baby on the Block" theme!

The boxes (7x7x7cm) were each filled with a different colour candle (resembling the box colours).

A sticker with Batool Jr.'s birth date (17th July 2010) was added as a final touch; also used to seal the boxes.

Now the favours can be nicely arranged and are ready to be distributed...

Welcome to the World Batool Jr.!
