Design Days Dubai

The first Design Days in Dubai took place in the middle of March. It was part of the huge explosions of artsy and design events.

We made posters as part of one of our projects for our design, VIS 202, course. We had to create colorful shapes and use literature quotes to make a poster. Some of the work we produced in class was chosen to be displayed at Design Days, and here is our booth:

Bottom row, from left to right: Mine is the second one that's blue, Samar's is the black one in the middle, and Naima is the grey one on the right of Samar's. (I just realized that we were all placed together :D)

This was the first time Naima had her work on display, so that was really exciting. It was an awesome exhibition to be part of, and definitely a huge honor to have our work displayed there. I'm really proud of Naima for all her hard work that she spent on her poster. Everyone's always going on about this 'potential' that she has, and I think she really put that behind her when she made that poster. 

I'll bug her to write about it one day.

Design Days Dubai was very different to all the other exhibitions I've been to here. First off, it was a design exhibition. We only really have art exhibitions here, so we hardly see any design things, it's pretty rare. Secondly, it was filled with furniture! I've never seen that much furniture in an exhibition before. I know that it was a design fair with an emphasis on furniture, but damn, I didn't expect that much furniture. It was awesome though, there were some really beautiful and great designs.

And we got to meet mischer'traxler again, a super awesomely cool design duo. They're what I aspire to be with Naima and Samar, except we'd be a trio called abdelwahed'idris'stevens. Would be quite a mouthful, but that's cool too.

And that was Design Days Dubai,
