A lil' history:
This was a collaboration with the CARE team that organizes the exclusive Cast Members heritage events for the Walt Disney World. Further, every year, some of the Cast Members participate and compete in the Canoe Races of the World, also known as C.R.O.W. This annual race originally started in 1963 at the Disneyland Park as a part of the Recreation club, later became Cast Activities. Later on, the race has been introduced to the Walt Disney World in 1973 and has been the cast favorite ever since. This specific event became so popular that it has been passed to all Disney parks around the globe with each park having it's own unique version to call their own.
For this year of 2020, Princess Tiana became the mascot and the branding persona for the event. Therefore, I designed a logo, which got reflected over various mediums, including a collectable enamel pin, TV/Web Slides, and bunch of signages for the actual event. Further, Due to an intense copy write restrictions, I decided to hand-letter the title around an approved illustration of the Princess Tiana.
In the process of creating the artwork, I became familiar with the pin printing process, restrictions, and timelines. This specific project, like the rest of the Disney related works that I was part of, became delayed due to the COVID-19 and hopefully will be put into production right after the quarantine.

AiRtype Exhibit Branding
This is a branding/curation project for an exhibition held in an airport of any choice. The purpose of the branding, was to explore part of a history in design world. The artist for the exhibition had to be chosen from years prior to 2000, therefore I chose an astonishing calligrapher/typographer, Reza Abedini from Tehran, Iran.
Calligraphy has been one of the greatest forms of art, especially Farsi calligraphy from Persia. Even though I got the chance to explore variations of the Arabic calligraphy throughout my first 2 years of college, located in the United Arab Emirates, I decided to work with a Persian artist. I grew up in a place with Persian influences to my native language and culture, therefore I decided to create my project with elements that resonate with my personal life.
Here, I created a logo, a leave behind piece for the exhibit, an item for sale, and a guerilla advertisement for an exhibition named “Airtype” featuring the works of Resa Abedini. I chose to create a modern logo that mimics calligraphic elements and used the color scheme of Abedini’s neutral and earthy colors. For the leave behind piece, I created a portraiture of Abedini, by composing the cover with mirroring the style of Abedini’s artworks. As commonly used, paper surface for drawing calligraphy, is an integral part of the art form, therefore I decided to use a notebook and a pen as merchandise items. Further, I used the logo as a pattern on a plane to advertise the Airtype.
