Web design for Arash Fayez, Iranian photographer.
In this website, I decided to incorporate the notion of “Randomness”. A prominent notion introduced at the rise of digital art.
Each time the user visits/refreshes the website he/she has a different visual experience.
There are 4 different visual designs for the first page, with a different illustration placed in the middle. Illustrations are based on the clients’ photography artworks.
The rest of the pages also follow the same theme, showcasing the client’s works.

Poster design for the occasion of 6th Tehran Sculpture Biennial.
In this poster, I was aiming to emphasize on two things:
- The Iranian mature of this event, that is why I decided to take advantage of Persian typography.
- The three dimensional qualities the audience expects from sculptures, that is why I decided to stage, light and photograph my letters and words to produce the shadow effect; The effect that can solely be found in a three dimensional environment.
Medium: Poster, 100x70 cm.

Web design for Ali Shobeiri, Iranian photographer.
In this website, I aimed to provide the audience with an interactive experience so that they can re-arrange all the visual elements in the page and create their own composition rather than delivering a rigid design.

This is the first work in first series of net.art works on “pixlz.tv”
It is an interactive typographic work that deals with the mutual relation between the form and the concept, in this case the meaning of the written line. The shape, opacity and interactivity features are all based on the meaning of the verse written on top left corner of the screen. The verse is composed by Iranian poet Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī. It reads:
“O how most colorless and traceless am I.”

“365thingz” is a self-initiated project. I make 1 drawing from objects around me everyday and upload it here. The idea is to develop this project further so that other artists can collaborate and post their drawings here.

Personal website of Iranian musician/composer Makan Ashgvari.
The idea was to break the rules of web 2.0 slick design trend, incorporating dense background photographs and create an aesthetically different website as opposed to clean pale web design fashionable styles.
