The second movie poster is for Phfft, a creative exploration that continues the series initiated with A Complete History of My Sexual Failures. This project was part of the Graphic Design MA program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland. The poster design captures the unique tone and style of the film, showcasing a blend of innovative graphic elements and thoughtful visual storytelling.

Another engaging project involved creating a movie poster for A Complete History of My Sexual Failures. This project initiated a series of posters as part of an assignment in the Graphic Design MA program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland, within the Poster Design studio.

This is a fun branding project for SavageDesign, a digital studio run by a friend of the designer. It involves experimenting with a blend of physical and digital media, combining mixed analog techniques with 3D rendering in postproduction.

All my work was coded with p5js as part of the creation of a website showcasing the Space Mono font. My graphics and animations are marked by errors that may appear in digital formats and on screens, to make a reference to the Space Mono font, created mainly for screens and very popular among programmers.

In his works, Wolfgang Herbold deals with scientific and technical image strategies.
The unexpected, surprising and unexpected is provoked from the most diverse digital possibilities.
One element of his working method is the causation and experimental triggering of accidents, incompatibilities and malfunctions,
be it in the exchange between digital programmes, be it in the constant change between digital work
and other techniques such as drawing/painting, as well as within a technique.

Tuaf is an experimental Latin & Arabic type family designed for small sizes, started as an EsadType graduation project.

The process began with sketches on 2 mm high lines, adhering to strict rules. This approach prompted an exploration of the interplay between the black and white shapes, shaping the writing rhythm over the individual letter details.

Rather than a linear increase of weights in the family, the styles changed shape or structure to improve their performance at small sizes.

The ASCII Playground is an attempt of a browser-based live-code environment with text-only output.
It is born from the joy and pleasure ASCII, ANSI and in general text-based art can give and it is an homage to all the artists, poets and designers which used and use text as their medium.
From the design perspective it is also an exercise in reduction: there is almost no interface, just a preview window and a code editor; margins and line numbers are removed as well.

The amazing slow-growth movement of the Platanus tree branches directly inspires the wavy, brutalist style of symbols. Typeface deliberately created by combining primitive pattern-like shapes and simple forms. Platanus letters can appear straight and narrow, or breaking and wattle. Sometimes alien-like, a bit haunted, sometimes clumsy, even child-like. Still monumental. Accidental ain’t random by appearance and its process. Platanus.

“Non-resident Alien” is a US tax designation for individuals who do not hold permanent residency status or US citizenship, which applied to Sajad upon arriving in the US as an international student. The project “Language is not Innocent” explores the uncertainty and ambiguity in language and its dramatic sociopolitical impact through semiotics. Interestingly, scrambling the order of “Non-resident alien” yields “Resident non-alien,” which has an almost opposite meaning in both English and Farsi.

Antiphony is a type family that explores typographic extremes and orchestrates commonalities through opposites. Antiphony is a dualistic system that challenges the viewer as well as traditional models for typographic systems. Because of the extreme angle of the forward and reverse italics, Antiphony is suitable for setting type at 45° in either direction. Additionally, the fluid nature of the design allows naturally setting the type on curved paths.

Affection (1) is a sculpture. It is made out of wire, concrete, plaster, acrylic paint and a reflective stainless steel plate, measuring approx. 300×400×600 mm (D×W×H). It needs a wall to lean on. Affection (2) is a state of mind and body. It is a come together of two different beings or forces under good will and tenderness. Aff. (1+2) is the sum of Affection (1) and (2). It also is the realization, that one half is leaning on a reflection, that is leaning on something else.
