art-director@didgraphics.com; in Farsi and English; 96 pages; full

Aydin Aghdashlou wrote: "The book covers designed by Majid Abbasi
are the result of his creative and diligent mind, and the embodiment
of his clean and bright attitude to life. In his artistic
enterprises, the designer seeks inspiration in traditional Iranian
art forms, but he never lags behind the world’s latest art
achievements. It is only natural therefore that his works have been
widely acclaimed and highly praised whenever they were exhibited in
the international exhibitions dedicated to Iranian modern art."
Roanne Bell also wrote in her "Finger Crossed": "Abbasi’s clean and
simple designs feature on books for publishing houses including
Cheshmeh, for whom he creates almost all covers; Khojasteh; Shahab
Publications; Fariab; the quarterly Farsi periodical, Samarqand,
designed entirely by Abbasi, and, of course, his own Did Graphics
studio’s publishing house, Did Publications, launched in 2000.
Understated yet powerful, Abassi’s jackets combine the use of
vibrant colours and striking typography, often incorporating
photographic or other images."
