الخط الكوفي المربع: ورشة يدوية تطبيقية
Build a simple Square Kufic composition by hand, using the grid, letter structure and negative space. Guided exercises lead to an individual finished artwork, with Nihad's Square Kufic workbook provided as a visual reference.
الكوفي المربع للمصممين باستخدام أدوبي إليستريتور
Translate the geometric logic of Square Kufic into a controlled vector workflow. Develop a short Arabic word through grid construction, letter relationships and optical adjustment, then prepare an editable composition and a presentation application.
إنتاج لوحة بالخط أو التايبوغرافي العربي باستخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي
Create an artwork using Arabic calligraphy or typography, supported by AI tools and guided design judgement. Develop the text, composition and visual treatment, review the Arabic carefully, then finish a digital artwork online or produce a printed artwork during the in-person workshop.
More time for research, experimentation and critique. Develop the reasoning and methods behind the work.
بناء العلامة العربية: من الفهم الثقافي إلى الهوية البصرية
Develop an identity direction grounded in cultural understanding, audience needs and Arabic visual language. Connect research and positioning to letterforms, bilingual relationships and a small, coherent visual system, then test and explain the design decisions.
القيادة الإبداعية لمشاريع التصميم العربي
Practise leading the decisions that shape Arabic design projects. Work through briefing, team roles, critique and stakeholder conversations, with attention to cultural context, language integrity and the consistency of the final design.
الخط العربي الرقمي والذكاء الاصطناعي للمصممين
Choose and combine digital methods for Arabic calligraphic design with a clearer understanding of the script. Compare font-based composition, vector lettering and generative approaches, then develop, audit and refine a composition for a defined design application.
Accessible presentations and professional conversations on Arabic culture, letterforms, technology and creative leadership.
Formats range from a 30-minute presentation plus questions to a 45-minute talk with a 15-minute Q&A.
Interactive event experiences · In preparation
اسمك بالخط العربي — تجربة تفاعلية
An interactive touchscreen experience for events. Visitors enter their name or a phrase, choose an Arabic lettering style and design, and receive their personal artwork by email.
Selected modules from Arabic branding and digital calligraphy can be brought together around one project, from cultural insight to an identity direction and visual prototype.
A starting scope of 20 teaching hours allows for a focused integrated program. The audience, selected modules and final outcome are agreed for each engagement.
The integrated pathway selects and adapts content from the two parent courses.
Cultural institutions, universities, design schools, organizations and creative teams can discuss a program for their audience. Individual visitors are welcome to explore the formats; scheduled public sessions are announced separately.
The digital workshops and courses can be delivered in person or through live online sessions. The manual Square Kufic workshop is an in-person experience. The touchscreen event activity is also on site.
Each proposal sets the audience, learning language, schedule, participant numbers, materials and delivery arrangements. Public durations are planning formats; adaptations are scoped with their own outcomes.
