Granshan Cairo 2016
Egypt has Hebrew, Armenian, taghras so many languages
Going to Granshan brought out a lot of inspiration within me. Realized my passion in design is deeper than just on the computer it has strong and intellectual topics and discussions. And giving a round of applause never felt so good.
Egypt is a melting pot!

Talk Like an
Egyptian.
Egypt! Where according to wikipedia and other sources Arabic is the national language… but is that under threat? Find out more in Nadia Abu El Dahab talks about
Now this can be just like a normal thing, do you think we are transitioning to a different place? I’d love to know your opinions, as it’s hard to settle on mine mia fl mia. But here’s what I think.
Is arabic going to become a spoken only language? In Egypt.
Arabic, el logan arabeya, lately I’ve had a few questions about it. As a graphic designer, *officially* and as an observer I’ve recently come to notice too much English. Now if you don’t know me I’m Nadia Abu El Dahab, Nadia Jeanne Abu El Dahab if you want some taste of my foreignness, I was born and bred in England and my Arabic is makasar awwi w aslan kolo haga ana arfa 3ameya. What first caught may attention for me to make this video was mother’s day. Mother’s day fy shark el awast. 3id el om - عيد الام is unique to the Middle East and falls every year on March 21st? What I noticed, in Egypt was ‘Happy mother’s day fy kolo heat, I’m talking about, posters, billboards,
In an article I read recently by Peter Hessler for the New Yorker, the journalist explained how he was learning Arabic in Cairo. The article opened up a lot to me, about the history of Arabic vs the Quran, the books and articles debating the point that I”m bringing up which is Arabic being lost?
Now I can easily say, that it would be ideal and very convenient if my second country learns my mother tongue so it will save me any trouble in learning Arabic or writing a different dialect.
Orientalist is a word that I wasn’t aquatinted with before.
As designers, developers in the Arab region, you have the upper hand and the power to make Arabic more accessible,
Maybe older Adobe products (which fun fact that I found out in this article is that Adobe is from the Ancient Egyptian language) didn’t compute Arabic. But they are starting to. And type design is on the rise. (check out my article/interview with Gaber)
Not only this I believe that Arabic and the design of Arabic and calligraphy needs to infiltrate the rest of the world they need to be updated on this Arabic 2.0 update and download it because this (insert image of bad apparel) And they are making money off it xD la222 ana ayza el felous deyat, minfahs ento, feen el design work feyha. Actually I’m not great at type design in Arabic bas I know plenty of people so they’d get the money bas y3ani shway commission for me?
Reading in Egyptian Arabic?
Ways you can support and be an Arabic Egyptian.
- Get into reading Arabic/Egyptian books/authors. (Mansour might not be with us any more (allah yerham) bas that doesn’t stop his books from being printed, also Egyptian authors can be born anytime. Check out these young budding book writers.
- Write Arabic words in Arabic (sounds like a no brainer but who’s not guilty of that text lingo or Franco as you call it)

I’m graduating with a product that doesn’t reflect me. You know what big deal. As long as I know my worth. It’s been difficult for me on a personal level to deal with the challenges. Let alone to have been given and thrown at me and think twice about where I’m graduating from.
When the department itself doesn’t take into consideration it’s motives and students,
I’ve been lucky enough to have an amazing friend by my side.
The logo doesn’t stand for anything that I’ve researched. I don’t feel comfortable standing in front of a jury saying that this is part of the project.
Woman with a child driving behind me has their right indicator left on, I put my had out the window to let her know, she turns it off good. Awareness woman, that's why it makes a noise so you know what your car is doing the purpose of it is to notify people around you where you are heading that's visual the noise is just so you can turn it off! Then she overtakes me fast fine, she was in the correct lane to my left mashy bas, in a residential area.

Does that glazed over eye stare when your in love exist? How do you know you are giving it? I know when I don’t feel like I’m receiving it.
What about romantic gestures, some give them with meaning, some give them in a presentable way, some give them in a meaningful way. Instead of doing mundane tasks often to prove you love them, once in a while, step up the game, surprise or give or do something spontaneous without excuses?
Not only am I putting myself out on the line, putting myself in more than a million situations where I can be ..
