Al Salaam (The Peace)
This little project was done as a gift for my fiance on her birthday. I had used Macromedia Fireworks for creating the calligraphy. It was then imported into Adobe Photoshop to create the background for the image.
The calligraphy is done using the two Arabic words for peace (Al Salaam) and God (Allah). The characters were then formed into a rosebud, while trying to maintain as much of the integrity of the Arabic as possible, although this is not required within this form of Arabic calligraphy.
