design review 2008

i n t r o d u c t i o n

As a design team at Four Films, we are an embedded brain force in the midst of a press operation that has thousands of intricacies to be addressed prior to handing out a finished product of an utmost quality.

Design Review 2008 is a compilation of select designs we worked on during the past year. This is a first retrospective we launch as a design team to achieve the following: to train ourselves to document and classify/categorize our work, to enable ourselves to look back critically at productions we were part of, and to ensure that the whole process is geared towards improving our upcoming 2009 Design Review.

This effort will be catalogued for our clients and peers to start a dialogue towards creatively resolving upcoming design challenges and exposing interests in our design approaches.

UNMC, a multi-media company, utilizes television, radio, newspapers, and magazines among other outlets.

Emanating from the initials, the letters roll from a u to an n, echo the ns into an m, overlap and tilt forward, suggesting a progressive movement with a gripping C at the end; looking ahead with a riveting message.

The Arabic font is strictly derived from the English one, to give originality for the Arabic font, yet familiarity when beside the English. All sections of the company underline the stationery in the forms of icons inscribed in nodes and sequenced to expose the different media outlets at the customers disposal.

SGI Group is a glass company that is heavily invested in the industry of glass making.

The amorphous prefix to the typography suggests the glass blowing technique with reflective tactility when it comes to the nuanced blue palette. A green stroke tailing out from the text, implies the environmentally friendly processes employed by SGI.

4U is a media group that is proud of working round-the-clock for you. A pixellated twilight accentuates the temporal and geographical differences that are within the coverage or reach of 4U.

The contrasting color palette, of orange and black, is carried all through the design of the stationery and the company profile. The gradation in the colors of the logo in the business card was zoomed-in to become pixellations, gradually eradicating the other-wise framed layout of the company profile.

Icons and illustrations are carried out from the logo into the company profile maintaining a common framework.

A moebius strip suggests an endless echo of a Q. Futuristic in style, gold in finish, and stamped and varnished in print, the emblem reflects a glitzy stature for the client.

The stationery is muted as background to absent any dissonance to the object of the logo.

An anomaly of a logo, yet it compels the reader: the X crosses out the faint classical architecture in the background suggesting a layered reading of negating yet basing itself on it. The trim, an ornament in architecture, becomes part of extreme, a measure of excess in architecture.

The X stands out as a message of contradictions, an unhealthy start for an architectural practice, yet recognizable.

The client approached us with an existing logo and an intent to retrofit it, maintaining some of its initial features. Keeping the same basic colors of the older logo, we changed it into a set of symmetrically composed slim ellipses, reminiscent of flowers and insects along the banks of a river; a geometry that is derived from nature and fit for a spa. The design of the stationery is very natural and calm to fit the companys purpose.

Multiple ways of communicating business had us focusing on representing communications in different design forms. Using people silhouettes in motion with solid lively colors or inscribing text is suggestive of the books theme regarding human and technological modes of interface and communication. Sinuous wavy lines resemble sound waves transforming the invisible modes of communications to complement the physical ones with the dynamic human postures.

A modern style of design that Interconnects vector lines with the typographic curves to transmit a vibe and diversity central to the ways the company approaches its work.

UMS REal estate

UMS Real Estate Company is a Kuwa

iti Shareholding Company Closed (K.S

.C.C) established on

10 March 2008, with a paid up capi

tal of KD 30 million (USD 112 milli

on). The Company is

a specialized real estate companyprim

arily focusing on providing and mai

ntaining world class

healthcare facilities to the healthcare

operators in Kuwait and the MENA

region.

The main driver for such service is t

he current demand for high quality h

ealthcare services in

the private sector driven by the incr

easing affluence, and the shortage of

adequate and quality

infrastructure. Such a scenario is felt

ideal for ownership and property man

agement of healthcare

real estate by separate specialised Re

al Estate Company.

The role of the company in healthcar

e domain is to act as a catalyst in p

rovision of world class

facilities to the healthcare operators

in the region. Hence, the healthcare

operators can focus

on their area of specialisation, while

the real estate Company takes care

of their facility related

aspects on day-to-day basis.

The business areas of the Company

essentially include specialized real es

tate services specific

to the healthcare sector i.e. - Asset

Ownership and Operating Lease, Prop

erty Management and

Consulting Services. It is believed th

at there exists a substantial unsatisf

ied demand for such

service offering in Kuwait and the re

st of GCC and MENA region.

The companys business model aims to build a healthcare holding company with a diversified spectrum of healthcare re-lated subsidaries and investments spe-cializing in medical investments, real estate, and financing activities in order to capture the substantial unsatisfied demand for quality services across the entire GCC and

MENA region.

Our Mission

Reflecting PEace of mind

Aqarok.com is an online real estate business; the profile was made to introduce this service to the public. We designed the brochure to make it in a way look like digital pages, a shiny red color used for the background with data streaming style on it. Using large format pictures in the background and contrasting between titles and text created an attractive visual effect for the viewers.

Being what you call a cool place we wanted the profile (brochure) to reflect that image, therefore, we used a mixture of colors in contrast with a black background and a very playful layout in a random grid.

Food completes the experience and in our lounge guests can pause to chill, comfortably and casually. Whether having coffee, eating a range of healthy food or just surfing the complementary

wireless Internet service and soaking up the beats of our in-store D.J, the 4 lounge is a must. BOTH S INTERIOR AND LOCATION have art running

through their very core. Based in the heart of Kuwaits industrial area, which evokes feelings of

downtown New Yorks Meat Packing District, 4 is an escape from the conventional and a venue

that gathers lovers of art and beautiful, exquisite things.NATURAL LIGHTING adds depth, warmth and coziness. A black ceiling and black flooring are juxtaposed with textured white walls that provide

a blank canvass for the EXPLOSION OF COLOUR that floods in from

the art, clothes and accessories, books and furniture.

A composition of gold and black colors sets a standard of luxury to denote a high-end project. A series of photos, gradations of text sizes, and a bilingual merging of English and Arabic are used as tactics toward achieving an informative document with clear design intent. An oblique graphic design layout acts as a relief toward the orthogonal rigid the architectural content.

Growing Aggressively In a Friendly Environment: A clear message from an oil company that wants to convey that business development in the oil field is not necessarily mutually exclusive from being environmentally friendly. Derived from nature, the allegory of bees and beehive, reflects a systematic and well thought off expansion without discarding the environment around.

Colors used are KUFPEC logo colors and honey like yellow, which happened to be fit with the logo colors.

A Beehive is the most complete of all structures, and if their is any perfectionist

species well nothing is better than the bee kingdom. Just like bees that work as

one team serving one entity, just like bees that explore new territories looking for

new feilds to attack, just like bees that start from one small cell to create the whole

honey hive; KUFPEC explores new worlds and territories expanding its wide network of

projects as one team and one entity. Just like bees, all that is created and

achieved serves to nurture the nature and help the environment, KUFPEC runs a very

environmentally aware work plan.The covers visual depicts this concept. The world map is designed to look as a

beehive, with the countries that KUFPEC has projects in lighted as KUFPEC color

Foods containing ber often are good sources of other essential nutrients. Depending on how theyre prepared, these foods can also be lower in trans fat, saturated fat (Bad Fat) and cholesterol. Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain, high-ber foods, beans and legumes are good sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary ber.

Recommendation Key

High Protein- Protein is essential for muscl

e recovery and growth. If you are doing a lo

t of

physical activity you need to increase your p

rotein intake. The menu items with the Hig

h Protein

recommendation are great for this!

Low Fat- Our Low Fat recommendations ar

e great for cutting down on both the total

amount of

fat and saturated fat (Bad Fat) in your diet.

Low Carb- If youre following a low-carb di

et (like Atkins) that forbids or severely limit

s White

bread, potatoes, and rened cereals, these

are known as bad carbs. Foods such as ve

getables,

whole grain products, and beans are metab

olized more slowly, largely because of thei

r ber

content are known as good carbs. The Low

Carb recommendations are based on good

carbs and if

thats what you are looking for these menu

items are for you!

Diabetic Friendly- The diet for diabetes do

es not mean a sugar free diet. Sugar can b

e eaten as

part of a balanced, healthy diet without ha

ving a harmful eect on blood glucose con

trol. Diabetic

Friendly recommendations are lower in su

gar than other menu items.

Low Cholesterol- According to experts, the

re are three basic ways to get your choleste

rol where

you want it: eating a healthy diet, exercisin

g and losing weight. Low Cholesterol reco

mmendations

are foods that have been proven to Lower

Cholesterol.

Blood Pressure- A study called DASH (Dieta

ry Approaches to Stop Hypertension) foun

d that

eating a certain way could lower blood pre

ssure as much as taking blood pressure-lo

wering

medicine. Blood Pressure recommendatio

ns will help you lower your blood pressure

levels.

5 Miscellaneous Book Cover

Al Kashaf is a book on Awqaf literature that is selected from 9 different countries. The logo was multiplied 9 times into free floating circular spheres representing the parallel worlds of literature preoccupied by one field of interest.

5 Miscellaneous Poster

The kufia pattern in duotone is scaled up to take over the poster leaving only the sides for the information text. The colors and sizes of typography set a hierarchy in the information. The simplicity of colors and the clarity of the composition is another milestone in conveying a human message to the world of art.

The Palestine Pavilion team has a combined experience of over years of experience in curation and art management. SALWA MIKDADI, VITTORIO URBANI, EMILY JACIR WINNER OF THE 2007 VENICE BIENNALE GOLDEN LION AWARD. The director of development Rana Sadik is on the board of several non-for profit art and cultural organizations.

5 Miscellaneous DVD Cover

His Highness Sheikh Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (born 10 August ==1945 - 1990) was the founder of the Kuwait Olympic Committee; his elder brother was the Prince of Kuwait. His Highness Sheikh Fahad is considered a national martyr and hero, aliased by the name Abdullah Al Masri. This is the DVD cover of the documentary film about his life heroics during peace and war.

The design shows a contrast between a peaceful time in Kuwait where development, prosperity, and peace reigned, and a time of war where cruelty and brutality had no boundaries (barbwires, tanks and war jets).

5 Miscellaneous Wall Design

Fuchsia is a gifts & accessories shop for teenage girls. Illustrated girls models, having different styles on a pink wallpaper background, set the pace for shoppers. From Cinderella-like character to an Alice in Wonderland, we tried to widen the spectrum on a bed of shiny stars and roses.

5 Miscellaneous Van Design

Your pet is our Priority is the slogan. The design shows cheerful and playful dalamations, illustrated with black dots here-and-there that float on the surface of the mobile grooming van.

Bo Atige a character created for the Higher Council of Traffic. Bo Atige is a Kuwaiti Man that always gets in trouble and mischief when driving; an example of reckless drivers.

6 Illustration

Morori is a character created for the Higher Council of Traffic for awareness against reckless driving.

6 Illustration

Showing the seductive side of chocolate, we illustrated the woman temptingly about to have a piece of chocolate. The colors used are very warm and the general atmosphere is somewhat retro to set the mood and indicate authenticity of the product. The background circular forms and rays of light tend to give a feeling of celebration.

6 Illustration

A poster for the Arab world football (soccer) games to be hosted in Kuwait. The logo in green, black, and white, uses the basic colors of a football and its field while the lines suggest in parallel a football and the Arab traditional costume. The whole poster with distorted perspective and converging and sweeping lines in black, white, and green create a much needed contrast; an action promising style.

Also, the black and white artwork shows landmarks from the different Arab countries which are participating in the championship.
