Iranian graphic design


Unintentionally, I found this Iranian graphic designer website. Their works are great, especially their typography. They play around with calligraphy in a very contemporary way. They embrace their culture by using Persian literature as to express the feelings through words in a new visual way. Their style is mostly minimalist, influenced by 20th century Avant-garde. One of the great Iranian designer is Majid Abbasi, with his poster “ the portrait of Sadeq Hedayat.”

Anyway, have time to look at this website : www.5thcolor.com

Note: the poster bellow was not designed by Majid Abbasi. It was done by other Iranian talented designer ☺
