Islamic Arts Magazine www.islamicartsmagazine.com/ is a new online e-publication which managed within its 3 released issues to prove itself as an important documentation of Islamic Arts not only in its historic and aesthetic journey but also as a contemporary element of visual arts today.

After browsing through its first and second issues I was delighted to find out that a small group of people armed with passion, creativity and professionalism were able to establish such a beautiful and solid magazine.

They opened a wide window to Islamic Arts in an elegant layout, interesting topics and stunning photography.

It's true that Islamic Arts are a foreign territory to some people who hadn't had the chance to see its vast influence and achievements in art, architecture and lifestyle.
The contemporary aspect of Islamic Arts became a topic that we need to know more about as we are interested to know the development of this rich heritage. This magazine is a good point to start and –for me- it is a feast for the eyes and mind.
           
A few months ago I was asked to do an interview with the magazine and that's how I was introduced to it.

By the way, You may download the first issue for free here: www.islamicartsmagazine.com/

Or you may want to buy a specific issue.

My interview was published in issue-03 : islamicartsmagazine.com/magazi…

They've selected one of my humble Oriental Pages to be the cover of this beautiful issue.

Dear All,

I want to add some life to my Oriental Pages series; I need to make an animation where all the elements (in any given page) appear in an arraigned order as if there were drawn live one by one on a specific background.

I managed to do a similar approach using Image Ready but the result was a huge file size, not very much an e-mail friendly one!

I think that using Flash MX is what I'm looking for, unfortunately I'm not familiar with it.

Can anyone suggest a link or a tutorial that fill my description?

Thanks,

M.

When you find that your message center is overwhelmed by many new visitors, friends, comments and favs. Be sure it's a great sign!

Today I had this wonderful experience for the third time since my adventure on DA started almost 3 years ago.

Very few words can describe my gratitude and thanks! I'm truly humbled by your support and kind comments.

My DA account made my efforts for the last two years more rewarding (spiritually and artistically) and I'm forever thankful for all the support that made me feel welcome and to all my friends who stood by me and shared their love, friendship and wisdom.

Special thanks to who made this day for me a hard one to forget!

Malik
