Throwie

Turning a name into art — a graffiti-inspired journey of personal branding and creative identity.

This project explores personal branding through graffiti-inspired design. Using bubble-letter typography and layered digital illustration, the project develops from hand-drawn sketches to a finished wall mockup. The process emphasizes readability, composition, and creative identity, transforming a simple name or tag into a bold visual statement that reflects individual style and design sensibility.

This artwork is a digital Throwie created using Adobe Illustrator, inspired by graffiti-style bubble lettering. The project introduced me to illustration, color layering, and expressive type design. It represents how our major encourages experimenting with modern visual styles while developing strong technical skills. Through this piece, I explored how street-art aesthetics can be transformed into clean, professional digital  artwork.

Graffiti on the wall

Kenan Harb

Graffiti is something that some people don't like, but what I did was mix the real and digital worlds together, I created a unique graffiti using photoshop and illustrator, a mix between arabic and english, inspired by the Dubai arabic/english font, surrounded by a set of 3D letters in a variety of colors. This is a project that I liked as it is a mix between Arabic and English, reality and the digital worlds, and typography and art.
