ICCI Health Awareness Programme n Idris Tawfiq Tour

Assalamualaikum wbt n hye!

Ustaz Salam told us once in Syahadatul Haq talk, that if we found out about something really good, out of this world punye good, of course we will want to share it with everyone, esp the ppl we care about,kn? Thus, let me share with you guys, all the nice things that will happen, this coming week. Plan ahead, my frens, coz this is HOT!
(haha, im soo not good at promoting, but here I am, giving my best shot.)

So, 1st, its the Idris Tawfiq speaker's tour, powered by FOSIS (FEDERATION of Student Islamic Societies). Why this is soo cool? Bcoz, Idris Tawfiq is a really talented n experienced speaker pun. So, checkout when he will come to ur area...



Click the picture for bigger poster and details.Please click, hehe..
And checkout FOSIS's cool website. (with more info)

And next, is the ICCI Health awareness Program, that will be held from 15th-19th October 2008. Its kinda overlap a bit with Idris Tawfiq's schedule. But its fine, choose whichever you want, i think medical students around UCD can easily go to ICCI, and the programme is huge! So many great activities have been arranged. Its going to be officiated by Ireland's Minister of Integration, Conor Lenihan.

But please be informed that you will need to register to Lesley at 01-2080000 or Lesley@islamireland.ie.

Oh, and they will need some medical students to help with some medical checkup thingies too. IMAM will help ICCI, insyaAllah, so if you want to help up, you can contact me for now until IMAM says otherwise.

Islamic Awareness Week UCD...

Assalamualaikum wbt....



Its NEXT Week! Lets join all the fun activities...



See ya!

More Posters

Assalamualaikum....

UCD Islamic Awareness Week is coming soon. So, Dublin people, check it out! There's rumours that UCDISOC will give out free t-shirt on a competition with Euro 100 as the prize. Pretty nice, huh?

Okay, about the posters. I think I want to start blogging about the posters I edited. So any protest?



I made this based on black and white picture. The models were my friends, maybe you can guess who? The catwalk test was a rip-off from some picture online. At first I show it (BnW version) to Aisyah, the Project Manager. She dun like it. Too classy, i think is the cause. Black n white is not fun (considering our target group)...its more to hi-class fashion. So I spend the night colouring and its my first time. And its fun!



Just a parody of finger lickin good from KFC. Took the fork picture from flickr.com. Intan said it is catchy but might be a bit ganas. (Ganas=Islam?) But its x intended that way. The text was written in blood from the gum where there should be incisors, as testimonial. of how good the food is. (Its not that gory, right?)



Intan 1st year made this. Simple, sweet and powerful, kan? I wish I can be as creative as her. No need to waste time but produce great poster. Intan 2nd year said, "She is ur replacement. (apprentice) ". But no, she's better than me and I never teach her. She's a gem, right?



I dont know who made this but it must be someone from FOSIS. This is the poster to replace my lousy poster (shown 2 posts earlier) for Escape the Maxrix Talk. More ganas and professional than mine, obviously.



This is the poster that replace the poster I made too. Sob...sob... but hey, we must be professional and learn to accept rejections, kan? Better decision for the society. (",)

Okay, thats it. While watching, consider going to these event too!

Ilal liqa' maas salamah!

Lets Join Us!

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Just finished with these posters. Thanks to Intan for helping with wordings and sorry for such intolerable delay. All in all, its great fun making posters until sometimes we "syiok sendiri" and forget that posters are for delivering specific messages and not the sole medium of self expression. So, the typography is important. Clarity is important. Information that we want to highlight is important. Remember that Munir.. not just the appearance of it.

I wish I can improve my poster making skill. (Photoshop la tu)... So, your constructive criticism is always welcomed. Im still a beginner. (^_^)v And im not "ahli" in this matter so pardon my knowledge.








So, feel like coming? Come la tau. Ill be waiting!
