The French Poetry Encyclopedia – Book Cover Design
Client: Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre – Kalima Project
Year: 2022
Scope: Cover Design · Typography · Cultural Publishing
In this project, I was commissioned by the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre to design over 30 book covers for The French Poetry Encyclopedia, a landmark translation series presenting classical and modern French poetry in Arabic.
The design approach aimed to strike a balance between French literary elegance and contemporary Arabic visual identity. Each volume reflects the poetic tone of its content, using a refined color palette, clean typographic hierarchy, and minimalist composition.
The collection was officially launched as part of the Kalima Project—one of the region’s leading initiatives in cultural translation and publishing.
