Remember when I went to Jordan for CC Salon Amman? Well, now we’re finally organizing CC Salon Beirut with the help of Donatella, Habib, Naeema & Mohamad!

What I’d like to share with you is the design process of the poster, which is a collaborative design between the talented Naeema Zarif and myself, à la Creative Commons

Step 1: I designed this

Step2: I sent it to Naeema, who sent me this back!

Step 3: I tried to mix both designs, CC-style

And… lo and behold, the CC Beirut Salon poster… [click to enlarge]

If you like Twibbon, you can go ‘”start something” on their website, as their slogan says. Ok i just had to let out what bothers me about twibbons. Today’s song is Jackson Browne’s Running on Empty, I adore the lyrics. Enjoy!
