Zainab's Art Adventures

One of the things I   enjoy doing most is typography/ hand-lettering. It is something that I'm doing very often, and most of the time, I'm doing it instinctively. Luckily, I don't even need any fancy materials for it. Most of the time; I simply use these black pointers by a local company but once I also got a Staedtlar Triplus Fineliner  (and hey, these are not   affiliate links! ;D) and that lasted longer. Anyhow, here are some quotes I read somewhere and really liked, so I typograph-ed them. (I know typography is a noun but because I do it so much, I really think it should be a verb as well as a noun. :D). This quote by Cyril Connolly is one of my all-time favorites. It currently hangs in our study space, to remind us something very important. :) "Better to write for ourselves and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self." -Cyril Connolly (click on this for a closer look) I made this one with brown and white acrylic paints on c...

I made this poster(which I have pinned up on the soft board facing my desk) to encourage myself. It was almost done, when I decided to give it a shiny effect by putting some glossy eye shadow on it. The effect was horrible! However, I managed to correct it by erasing it. It looks OK, I suppose. But it looked better before the eye shadow episode! XD

A little poster! I love it, it's so cute! I began with drawing a slanted pen(It's a black (Dollar) pointer, my favorite pen for drawing and writing(Btw, The outlook of the pen has changed recently, it's body is now black and the cap is silver, I couldn't do that).  After that I drew a stick figure balanced on the pen. I added details, drew on the clothes. Then I drew the bubble on top. I couldn't decide on what to draw, first I drew some random doodles on it, but that looked a bit weird.  I decided to write the word 'ideas' in it, because ideas are the root of all drawings. It seemed weird then but with the awesome typography and the sparkly stars it looked unusually good.(It's just that the letter 'S' was yellow so it blended too much with the stars. It would have looked better with green). I coloured everything in and then wrote the quote I just made up. XD  I wrote my name with purple because it's my favorite color. It looks great,...

These are some posters I made in December. This one, which I made earlier, is about politics. I have made lots of  mukkas  because they symbolize strength, and politics in Pakistan is all about power. The different colours, sizes, and shapes are because each of the political parties are different in strength and vision. There are different ways of viewing this poster. This poster is difficult to understand unless you ponder on it. Most people wrongly understand that these are children playing football. Let me explain. I have tried to show that these are people(or different countries perhaps), who are  playing  (misusing) with the earth, kicking it about like a football. To show diversity, I have made them T-shirts of different colors, and the numbers on them represent strength.  Thank you

This is a poster I made recently. First I drew the hand pointing(I am getting to enjoy drawing hands!), and when it was done I decided to make a slogan to go with it, so that I did.

The ERDC  Seminar,  'Who Fails when a child Fails?' ,  took place on August 01, 2015.  My sister and I also made posters for the Poster Exhibition. Here are the two I made.

Here's a poster I made regarding the quotation, "Life is like a path. Beware of thieves!" The quote is my brother's,( you can view his blog, ask me if you need the address.) So anyways, here's the poster!
