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 icon wink Announcing... CC Salon Beirut

Step 1: I designed this

    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!

      • Ghassan Yonis

        1. Oh, ok. You said “What do you think?”

        2. I guess I’ll see you at GeekFest Beirut then :(
