- I decided to leave the web industry for ever as I am finally convinced that I must pursuit my career in animation without any diversions.
- I decided to leave Aroma as I realized that I will always be only a tool there, never a really creative artist with his own vision. even if this vision is still immature, it won't grow up in "Aroma".
- I decided to never work a full time job, if I really want to be an independent artist.
- I decided to work with "Maspiro" as a free contractor artist, so I can have a good income while I have time to lead my life anyway I want.

Stay or Leave
I got a job offer in The Egyptian National Radio and Television Union, witch we call "Maspiro", the job is in the Art department of the Nile Channels division. the problem is the salary is not very high but anyway I decided to leave "Aroma" actually I decide to leave web design and development field. I'm an animation artist and I don't want to forget that.
This where it got really complicated.. the day that I was talking to my manager about leaving is the day that he told me that they will transfer me to the "Creative Department" to work as an animator. this was the second time they punched me in the face!
Now I'm to confused.. should I stay and be a creative member of the most successful advertising studio in Egypt? or should still be leaving?
They gave me some time to think it out. in the mean while I started a task with a guy called "Rahmy" in the creative team. it's a campaign about traffic laws. I think it's like they are giving me some sedative! I don't know.. anyway this is the illustration I made from Rahmy's sketches.

Zam Zam
Zam Zam is an animation company that my friend "Sabry" is working for as art director. the company works traditional animation and clay animation. the owner "Dr. Zainab Zzm Zam" is thinking about lunching a TV channel specialized in cartoons. I did these logo concepts as a presentation trying to get the channel branding job. I think I'm trying to by my way out of Aroma!

Aroma Creatives
it's been 3 months now, since I got the job here in "Aroma". it's like hell to me. I'm not built for this.. wake up early every morning, ride the subway down town, sit in front of desktop monitor for like 10 hours or more!! and guess what.. all I can see is the code lines that I write! nothing more. I didn't even noticed that it was 3 months till now.
I did some good work, but it was all canceled. they say that canceled projects are more than the accepted ones. and there is nothing wrong with that!! I say it is totally frustrating.
The only good thing that I did here is the website of the creative division of the company and it's called "Aroma Creatives" this project took me a very long time to complete. it's like 4000 lines of code! all in actionscript. I think what is good about it that it didn't have a deadline and I knew it won't be canceled. I wish I could show you the CMS, but here is the link to the front end website. it's the best website I ever did.
