Project Description
In May 2011, Mariam Bin Natoof, decided to create Mawahib: The Talent Directory, making it the sourcebook to showcase and spotlight the Arab individuals in graphic design, illustration, and photography.In November 2012, the book came to reality, featuring 35 talents with over 260 pieces of artwork and photos. The aim of this work is to promote the featured talents to potential clients across the UAE and be a source of inspiration for other artists and individuals.
The book is designed to Inspire. Encourage. Highlight. Showcase. Hire.
Production Lesson(s)
Don't assume that recycled papers won't give excellent print results—we were advised to go against it, however, we are very pleased with the outcome we got on Neenah Opalina papers—the smooth texture and the colors are outstanding.You will need to look over your print production team to get the exact Pantone shade you selected—we faced a hard time getting the exact shade which we've chosen for the cover (Yellow Pantone 109 )—never thought that mixing the ink amount by 1 percentage more or less can change that much!
