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]

Love it
now this is how CC works …. Good Work dearest ….
1. Use the first one or the second one. The third one (the combination) looks like a poster for a scary movie.
2. Why one day before GeekFest Amman. We really wanted you guys to come!
1- thanks for the feedback.. but i guess it’s too late now..
2- oh sorry about that, the date was a HUGE issue, because there are lots of people coming from abroad, and this was the only date they could all be here, like Donatella, Habib and other CC people. Good luck for Geekfest Amman!
1. Oh, ok. You said “What do you think?”
2. I guess I’ll see you at GeekFest Beirut then
