PRES Design Show 2006




This post is a bit late, seeing that the show was in October; better late than never.


Back in August, while I was doing my internship in KEO, Kuwait, I got a call from Mr. Osama Zarour, who is "Deputy GM, Director, Development & Planning" of PRES. (www.Visitpres.com)

I had recently launched my new website, and he was amazed by the work. I was asked to meet with him at the office to talk and discuss several things. He explained to me the concept of PRES, and showed me the designs that were prepared for the event. Mr. Osama offered me space in the PRES Design Show that was going to be held in October, which was also the grand opening of PRES, located right beside Al-Corniche Club.


After two months of extensive designing and planning, a hundred visits to the printers (where I almost killed the people working there), putting everything together a day before the event (which coincidently was my birthday; there was cake and singing), and last-minute touches, the Design Show was on.


It was GREAT! The F2o booth was constantly filled with people browsing through t-shirts, asking questions, and making purchases. There were 60 unique t-shirts displayed, meaning that each t-shirt design was used once. Lots of emails were coming in right after the exhibition inquiring about customized orders, or to just congratulate me. Thanks!


Set aside all the frustrations, stress, and im7atat, it was all worth the hassle; I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.


To my loving mom, sisters, cousins, and friends: THANK YOU for all the support! It means a lot to me!

Mr. Osama & Mr. Iyad: thanks for the support and help!

And to those whom I yelled or got frustrated at: sorry, it just wasn't me heheh; I deeply apologize for being so snappy that day.
