5 years later, I'm back!




Hello,

How are you all? i've been away for 5 years and lots has happened.
i will be blogging again now to let all the steam out and try to share my knowledge and gain from yours.

i don't want to become a youtuber and post myself talking to a camera, and I don't want to post short videos on Instagram because i don't like to put on make up and get ready.

so i'll just put it all out in writing.

also, i wont be caring much about punctuation and being perfect here. my job is demanding enough and i do proof reading on a daily basis as a marketing professional. so i'll let me be me here -- free.



so let me start from the next blog. this is just a welcoming post. not sure is it welcoming you back or welcoming me back. haha but either way i need to vent and i'll do it here. this will be my journal.


much love.

Sara Fida


PS: look at all the spam... haha spider web over my blog. time to clean up.

    You should do a YouTube channel or Instagram IGTV. Your work is beautiful and also you notice things well after going through your blog and activities on LinkedIn.
    Have a nice day
    Take care

3aib.

It's a shame (3aib) when a college of  design  (and other majors including English) produces such booklet to showcase their portfolio, facilities, courses and programmes. Lets go through it before I start talking in details. It took me almost 3 weeks to blog this specific booklet out of my chest. Every time I sit infront of my laptop trying to put my river of thoughts into words; my hands shiver, smoke comes out of ears and my face turns into a red balloon filled with anger and frustration ready to explode! Maybe because it isn't only about this booklet, but its the whole experience, from landing a foot on the college grounds to running back to my car. The experience also has to do with the college's dean who asked me - when I went to apply for a job as a Typography teacher - he asked "What do you mean by Typography?" (!!!)  I felt like a bucket of cold water got poured over my head . I instantly thought to my self "Is this really where I want to work?

Trying to help Omani Designers - Step 1

A'Salam Alaikom, "Been a while" that's always how I start my blog, I know, but I'll try to write more often just to pour my heart out when it comes to design in my country. So expect some happy moments and some angry ones in my coming blogs. I can whine and I can be extremely ecstatic. I don't think I'll criticise ads as much anymore, because it's pointless - I write about them, people read, laugh, and it ends there. It's time for useful/productive blogs. Let's face it.. Nothing will change here unless a revolution is made by young Omani Designers. I say designers precisely, because fine artists and photographers have their own associations/communities that could take care of them, but we don't. So today, I have made a decision that this will be MY job. As an Omani designer, my design path has not been easy in my country for the past 10 years and it's getting worrying and upsetting to see talented Omanis leave the country to se

Frog legs!

Alright. Just to let everyone know that I dont look for bad ads to critisize them, but I also look for the good ones to give them some credit. However, the bad ones seem to stand out a bit more than any others. Maybe coz they're just BAD. This is an ad for Hayyak (prepaid phone credit) from Omantel. To be promoted during the Muscat Festival 2011. Lets start with the goods. Love the simplicity of the msg and font. I like how they put a hint of the festival at the back, no clutter, clear blue sky no clouds and a well styled up model. Festival = youth = jeans and jumper that match the climate at this time. Moving along.. Now as soon as I saw this ad, my direct attention was to the frog legs! Isn't his jump weird?! I'm sure they took several shots prior to "frog legs" stage. Aren't there any better ones like the ones below? Something with more of a happy, dance, side shot jump? Something more attractive with closed legs?!!
