Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan is one special month for all the muslims around the world, whether we are all so religious or not, we come together and celebrate this day with our loved ones. Throughout the entire month we try to stay clean in every possible ways and on the last day of the month we celebrate ramadan. We say ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ for greeting on the day we celebrate.
It’s a holy day, and I think the color of the cards reflects that very well. Most of us wear light colored clothes, decorate our food and house in light shades of colors too.
Then in the morning all the men go to the mosque to pray together. It’s a big gathering and it’s the starting of the celebration. When the morning light hits the mosque, you can see the shadow of the decoration of the mosques. Obviously not every mosques are heavily decorated, but all the famous or the big ones definitely are. It’s a part of islamic art where the day light projects another decoration which is the shadow of the original. That’s why the cover photo has a blank page behind, so we can see the shadow behind. The design on the cover is totally inspired by islamic art.
So the viewers who are looking for a Ramadan card can easily tell it’s a ramadan greeting card by the cover even though it does not say anything in words. The color, patter and style says it all.
Then when we open it, we see a mosque. The design is kept consistent with the cover. And on the top of it It says Ramadan Mubarak. The religion and culture of Islam started from Arab. So for my typography work my inspiration was the arabic calligraphy. I designed it from scratch. I did a calligraphy of it then I traced it and developed it. So the typeface itself can give the reader an idea of what it is about and make it easy for him or her to relate to the message.
The mosque has been designed from references, but it’s not traced or copied, it’s done from scratch too.
We always see christmas cards, birthday cards, thank you cards, etc; but we seldom see a card which you can share on this Holy day. So many people celebrate it yet so seldom we see it in the stores. When I celebrate Ramadan in my country, I get cards from everywhere and fromso many people, they are lovely because they are actually printed, not just an online card, but to be frank I never came across one which has a stunning design. So I wanted to design a Ramadan Mubarak Greeting card for this competition and do my best on it, it gave me the opportunity to be a participant and a contributor to the muslim society as well.
Thanks for reading it. :)
