The Main Inspiration Behind This Series is 1980s and 1990s Period's Graphics and Colors, Focusing on That Period's Magazines' Covers, Ads, Fashion Patterns and Posters. One of the Strong Influences was The Memphis-Milano Style which was Formed In 1981 By a Crew of Milan-based of Designers, with their Striking Color Combinations and Geometric Motifs which Defined the 1980s Design Scene. Another Inspiration was Arabic Calligraphy AND Graphics of that Period Which was Used in Music Records, Magazines and Movie's Posters That Surrounded me in my Childhood, That Became Modern and Trendy in Some Way in our Current Time of Recycling the Old Media Into a Contemporary Form. The Artworks in This Series was Made Digitally from a Combination of Old Magazines, Ads and Movie Poster Cut-Outs, Scanned then Edited and Collaged using a Computer in an Abstracted Modern Arrangement with Colored shapes and Graphic Elements. After the Artwork Comes to its Completed Form it gets into a Screen Printed Process or Printed as an Archival Giclée Print.
