And you would be amazed that the artist behind all these awesome artworks is not an Arabic. Yes, Julien Breton, the founder of Kalaam, is a French artist. He invented this type of art that uses the Arabic Calligraphy style to feature both Arabic and Latin words in a step that can be considered a new trend in Arabic Calligraphy art history. Julien’s artwork bridged the gap between two civilizations by merging both the East and West characters together.
Furthermore, Julien implemented a new art technology in creating his Arabic Calligraphy artwork such as the light calligraphy, real-time virtual Calligraphy and 3D Calligraphy. Before we start our venture with Julien lines, let us know more about him.
Julien Breton / Kaalam, native from Nantes (France), began Arabic Calligraphy in the year 2000 by discovering contemporary Arabic calligrapher.

Organizing the Creative Process Workflow
Although the creative process requires thinking outside the box and frees your mind from ordinary thoughts, it is important to build a routine to your creative idea brainstorming process which is the first step in any design project. On the other hand, creative design is one of the steps in any project that you can’t determine an exact estimate for; especially when you are new to the design field. This is because finding a unique idea for the design can take one minute and then extend to numerous hours before reaching a result that satisfies both you and your client.
Unlike developing creative ideas, the other stages in a project such as applying the code and functions, adding content, testing and final delivery can be well estimated because they are steps which have a common pattern.
The more experienced designers are able to set an accurate timescale compared to new designers. This is because of two main points; the first is that they repeat the idea development stage throughout most of the project so they are able to better understand when to develop ideas. The second point is the system they follow to develop the idea. For example, some designers think of new ideas all the time and save them, even when there are not any available projects. These ideas are then implemented in upcoming projects.

In Street Photography, the most remarkable features that you can identify in all of the photographs are sharing the same amount of motion and it is live, which are inspired from the real life in the streets we see every day.
