Robocon

Robocon is a robot contest! it's being held by Higher Education Ministry and ERTU "Egypt Radio and Television Union" for the colleges and institutes to contribute as teams, I guess the purpose is to encourage the robotic industries. the event holds locally every year in different countries around the world under the banner of ABU "Asia-pacific Broadcasting Union", and holds Internationally in one of those countries every year also.

This year Robocon international contest will be held in Egypt. aside from the local Robocon contest. That's two big events in one year. anyway a friend of mine in Maspiro "Sherif" -He has my name!- recommended me to the Union to design the logo and identity of this year's both local and international contests.

I started with putting concept arts and logo designs as a presentation to the organizers. nothing they liked so far. I still can't tell what are they have in mind.

Cultural Center

Friend of mine "Mansour" he is aslo a fellow teacher at college. he is creating a short film for the "Cultural Center" about the fascination of books. it's involved in some cultural campaign of reading books I guess. anyway he did the artwork and the character design and the layout of the film, and he asked me to do the animation. the budget on this was very low but I'm happy to work on it.

This is some sample shots that are still in production process.

Sports Morning

This is my second job with the new art department in Maspiro, it's a concept design and storyboards for another sport channel show called "Sports Morning". and guess what.. they didn't get this one too.

This was the logo concept design.

This was the title sequence.

This was a segment sequence.

another one..

White Page

It's been a while since I did a job in Maspiro. the Art department that I worked for have been located, it's manager have been replaced.. too much happened while I was busy at college. they told me it's like a fresh start. I don't know what that means or what it'll do. any way my first job with the new department was a storyboard for a sport channel show called "White Page" !! and they didn't get the job. what a fresh start.

ASIFA

ASIFA is the International Association of Animators. witch is now I am a member of. the director of ASIFA branc in Egypt or "ASIFA Egypt" is "Mohamed Ghazala" a friend of mine and also a fellow teacher in college.

"Ghazala" asked me to build a websit for "ASIFA Egypt", so I did this Flash Intro. I know that I decided to leave web industry a year ago. but this was a favor not a job. and on the other hand.. this is more like animation than web design to me.
