This is a two-part project where The Procession, a poem by Gebran Khalil Gebran was visually analyzed, done as part of the Advanced Arabic Typography elective at AUB, taught by Reza Abedini.
In the first part (poster series), a recurrent sentence in the poem is repeated, where the poet draws a comparison between man and nature, praising the latter. The poster on the right represents nature, as the kashidas (elongation between arabic letters) are intervened on by organic and flowing shapes. The poster on the left represents man, as the shapes become rough and mechanic. Both the gradient and the fonts chosen follow this logic.
In the second part (spreads), the same idea is portrayed; where nature now represents the version of the font that is intervened on, as we were required to do this exercise using one font and one color. (Details of the spreads found below)
