Artist Statement June 13, 2009


My works always seems to be simple and this relates to my personality. Art has occupied a big space in my life and it has become a main point in my pursuits. My art talent started since childhood. All art works affect me and each piece I work on, ends with a unique result. After the development of technology and the appearance of famous programs such as Adobe Photoshop, I began to grasp ideas with designs and it has become my new bearing in the art world. In my designs I depend on two main programs, which are Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. First I only depended on Adobe Photoshop, but now I realize that Adobe Illustrator is as important as the other programs especially for logo designs. Nowadays, I’m focusing on designing wedding cards. I designed my sister’s wedding invitation two years ago and everyone liked it. Now I’m doing cards for different celebrations. Exploring the ideas through sketches helps me find out what exactly going on through my mind and it helps me in developing my design. It’s an important step that I depend on because if I moved directly to the computer I will not give the design to best potential. So when I start designing I like to sketch my ideas on paper, and then I move to the computer screen. I start to execute the idea on the computer and often I choose one color for the background. Then I put the affects that will help my design. After that I choose a suitable font, and this step is the most difficult task. And finally I come out with a design that satisfies the audience and me. I’m using also another program that is a little bit different than Photoshop and Illustrator, which is Macromedia Flash. I learned this program since I was in grade 10. I have completed more than 15 works using Macromedia Flash, and some of them had been published on TV last year. I have a hard time to get out with the idea that I wanted to be at the end. I like people to comment on my works because this helps me to work more and develop my idea. And when someone comments on any of my works I feel confident and that encourages me to do more. My style in design does not change from one work to the other. Although I don’t like to create a variety of styles, I like to develop it to the best outcome. I usually don’t choose more than one color for the background. And I always avoid choosing flashy colors. I choose also simple fonts and I don’t add unnecessary details to my designs. My artworks, as I mentioned before, seems to be simple, because I believe that simplicity is the secret of success.
