Beirut, Lebanon

Above: Another update via the invaluable Khatt Network, a recent poster by Zeina Maasri, designer and professor of graphic design at the American University of Beirut. Worlds away from the limitations Iranian designers face, quite literally, Maasri is part of a different visual culture, where human faces are permitted. This has a direct impact on the conceptual hierarchy, type vs. image. Omoshiroi!

An active international presence, she has also published Off the Wall: Political Posters of the Lebanese Civil War, see more here.
