Hakawati Poster
The Art of Storytelling
Poster Design - Augmented Reality - Interaction Design - 3D Motion Graphics
Justification of Concept
The concept of “Hakawati” was chosen for its rich tradition of storytelling that transcends time and cultures as it encapsulates the essence of the project, where narratives serve as portals to diverse worlds and experiences. Hakawati represents a bridge between heritage and imagination, fostering empathy and cultural sensitivity.
Through this concept, the Arabic phrase "العِْلمُْ أزَْيَنُ ثوَْبٍ أنَْتَ لَاَبِسُهُ" , translated to “Knowledge is the most beautiful garment you wear” in English, emphasizing the value of knowledge and its impact on character. The idea is that knowledge is like a beautiful piece of clothing or attire that a person adorns themselves with, as it suggests that acquiring knowledge enhances a person’s character and makes them more admirable.
