Lana Kurdi 20 and Mariem Abutaleb 20, graduates of the graphic design program, both designed posters that were recently recognized as some of the 100 Best Arabic Posters of 2020.
Kurdi created both of her posters while staying home during the lockdown last year. At that time, I was working remotely and, like everyone else, feeling quite uninspired and overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the events, she said. But, I tried to distract myself after work by experimenting with different posters.

Her first poster involves Arabic hand lettering and reads You tell yourself: I shall be gone. Drawn digitally, the poster is based on a poem titles The City by C.P. Cavafy.
