After searching for each word definition I wrote all the words in Arabic and Latin with the font to try the font out I ended with 200 different word in different font.
Week 1:
On Monday I printed the papers and we went to the atrium and laid the papers on the floor in a row and then the professor asked us to walk on them to see them properly.

I had chosen 10 different fonts that catches my eyes and I found interesting, 5 in Arabic and 5 in Latin.
” Kufi ” I liked the design way and how the letter is represented and the dots is rounded. It is angular, slow-moving, dignified script. I found it an elegant script.

” Palatino ” it has a classical serif typeface, and highly legible. Very attractive and easily readable.

” Tanseek ” highly legible and approachable designs. An attractive way of writing. Work in perfect harmony.
” Badiya ” a modern and slightly modulated. A clear, legible, and modern text face.

” Yakout Linotype” it is Simplified Arabic font. Has a very dynamic effect. Very interesting slightly curved baseline.

” Helvetica Neue ” legibility and usefulness.

Week 2:
On the second week I started thinking of materials to work with and experiment them. I experiment 10 different letters Arabic and Latin with diffrent type of materials.
The first Material I experemented with is ears cotton, I did the letter “T”, it was challeging in the presenting the letter feature.

Next I was interesting in experimenting with thatch ribbon. it was very easy as it its a flexible material I found it very easy in the Arabic letter.

Then I played with letter cubes which I found very interesting to use, which came out very interesting letter.

Then I found a punch of plastic eyes and I wanted to make silly letter, and which came out very funny.

Then I came out with an idea of making letters made out of marshmellows which I found interesting, I look out for some recipies and bought the ingredients and started baking some marshmallow.
On the next class I made the word that I had chosen out of marshmallows and cut it into the word “حلاوه”.
I spend the weekend making a punch of marshmallows for the following week.
Week 3:
On the third week I consentrated more on the fonts of the marshmellow and how making them on the right way.

I did 9 letters on Arabic as a beginning and took photos of each letter under the sun for better light.

I spend the third week in photo shooting the 9 letters.
Week 4:
At the beginning of week 4 I had all my 28 letters done and ready to photograph I send the weekend photographing the letter and set them ready to be edited.

I ended this phase prodecing over 7 kilos of marshmallow.
