Hi there all, Alsalamu alaikom (peace),

We all watched the latest news in egypt. Although most of the egyptian channels and some other arabic news channels were hiding truth and providing the watchers with wrong reports that were made by them or by the egyptian government.
As happened before in Tunisia, I want to say sorry for not writing about that earlier because I was busy, but I want to tell you that you made all of us proud. We always believed in you all and now you showed us the real courage. Big thanks t the army that supported you as well. A good army is an army that fights for the people and not that one without emotions who follow rules like robots.

A message from your brothers in Palestine, we want you to resist and keep the good work up. It's said in Quran that you're the best army on earth, so we trust you. Let all those terrorists who follow Mubarak see what you can do. And always pray for Allah to help you.
They plan a lot, and as Quran says Allah knows what they plan and he is the one to decide when it will fail, and it is failing already and the victory is yours.

Don't listen to people who say that after the regime is gone then you can do nothing and it will be all missed. You know yourselves better than them, and they can keep talking. Countries weren't found on earth ready. You are the country, and when the regime is gone the only thing will happen is that you will lose dozens of despotic exploiters and that's of course what we all want.

Peace be upon you all, heros.

Happy new year all,
May it be filled with peace, love and faith.

Best wishes to everyone.And make something new. That's why it's called "new" year.

Hey all,

Christmas is here Happy holidays to all christian friends ^^
May it be a happy holiday to you all

With much love,
Mhmood

Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing well,

The job works like this:

It's an idea by a friend, he needs designers and web coders. So until now he got two designers and he want a third one. The project is as any web building company, a client send a request and you will design it and then it'll be sent to coders to make it into html,php...

Money: You won't get paid for hours, or for pieces. You wont get paid at all. joking, You'll get paid like this: You give a price for your work, and the coders give price for their work and then the chief gives the overall price. Then when he gets paid he divide it according a  percentage value that you and him talked about before starting the work.

Where: on earth

When: Now

Who: His name is Mashary and he is arabic (muslim). He can talk english, and he's a nice person (so be nice with him).

What about Me: You need to be a "good" designer. Not "super" but not "bad". Good is good.

I Want: Send me a note if you want to work.


And thanks all for reading. Have a great day.
PS. In Advance, Merry christmas for all christian friends

كل عام وانتم بخير وعيدكم مبارك
Kol A'am wa'ntom bekhair wa'edkom mubarak!

Happy holiday muslim brothers and sisters Now here we are, yesterday was Eid Al Fitr, now Eid Al Adha. As time moves so fast many things happen withought noticing it, especially the happiness. As many people lately say "It was a boring holiday". Usually when some activity takes short time, you feel that it's boring. As I think, if you do many things in short time then you feel time is more valuable and that it is moving slow.
Eid Al Adha , same as Eid Al Fitr, is a holiday of happiness. Do many things, many good things, smile much, even if I punch you in the face (Not that much) but really, smile. You are not smiling -.-
Anyway, Be kind to people, don't forget your relatives, your friends, your mates at work, or anyone else you see in the street. Say Kol A'am Wa'ntom bekhair. But don't say it like you are being pushed to do that. Make sure to have a good Niyah when you approach people. Talk calmly. Speak from your heart. Now don't let it speak much. Just speak when needed Never forget to wear a good clothes, it shows respect to the people near you. Don't forget to breathe. It's an advice you should give to everyone.

And may it be peace. It won't be peace, but we will always have a hope
And always remember being a muslim doesn't mean you should do these things in Eid Al Adha... it means you should do it everyday.

Happy Eid
Kol A'am wa'ntom bekhair

كل عام وانتم بخير
Kol A'am wa'ntom bekhair!

Happy holiday to all muslim brothers and sisters! Ramadan has end and now it's the day to receive the gift
I wish all of you a happy holiday, and may it pass with peace and love. We ask god to accept our prayers and fasting.

May it be peace in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza and in everywhere and may it be a happy holiday bringing smiles around and giving a hope back to it's people.

And as one of Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) companions said: "Every day I don't disobey my god is a holiday".

Kol A'am wa'ntom bekhair

Ramadan Kareem!

May it be a great month for all muslims and bring happiness to everyone!
This month will be so tiring , yet we'll all miss it, and as we feel time is getting faster every second that passes so once it's started we start counting down. So MAke Your Best! and don't waste it!

Let's pray for the people of Gaza, Lebanon, Africa, Afghanistan, and all other countries that are suffering.
God is with you.
So Ramadan Kareem again, and may we meet after a month with some new energies and a good will to work

Hi all,
Last day in year one, sounds like vacation yes!

I won't do icons forever! I'll just sleep. First year was so boring, it has nothing to do with computers, only the thinking and working with hands.
Yesterday I presented my web design which was the last project for this year. I got 102/100, 2 bonus points aren't bad. I feel so free now and want to come back to icons. But I prefer to go swimming, bodybuilding and some basketball and soccer games to refresh my "creativity".

I'll continue with the Disney collection. I have much time to finish it. After that the real creativity will start poping up. So for now I want to go back to my bed and have sweet dreams about my future life in heaven yeah, must be interesting.

Well thanks for reading this just wanted to say that I came back
Good luck all

Assalam Alaikom everyone (Peace)

Thank you Turkey, all I wanted to say. I don't have any words to describe the happiness towards every Turkish Shaheed who died in the ships crossing their ways to Gaza. Rest in peace all, heaven is waiting for you. We never experienced such a brotherhood before. Many are saying nothing but especially there in Turkey, where real heros are born, feelings are turned into this love towards palestinians. Again thank you, brothers and sisters, everyone who support Gaza, everyone who support muslims, everyone whose feelings are burning for the truth we live. God knows who is right, and he knows what you feel, so be sure he'll answer your feelings and your prayers.

Sheekh Raed Salah isn't dead. He isn't alive too. No one knows if he's alive or dead, no one did talk to him lately. Here inside Israel the police and army forces are preparing themselves for our reaction. On my way from work to home they were gathering units on the streets, and some of our people were holding palestinians flags. We think if they killed Salah then they're keeping it a secret and preparing their forces so when they make it public they'll be ready for us. But it's just a thought, no one knows what's his stats. Hoping he's fine.

As someone said before, this is a beginning for something bigger. We expect a 3rd Intifada inside and a world war 3 out there. I am not exaggerating. We hope all will be fine, and peace will make its way to Gaza.

Again Turkey,
Rest In Peace, We love you, God loves you too.

Don't be silly. Am "male" and "straight".

What I wanted to say is that "I got my intuos4"!
Thank you folks thank you

It was a long day especially that it started with working in my uncle's Artichoke farm ^^
After I arrived home the delivery guys called me to ask for my address, and now it's in my hands.

Lets say it feels normal, it's a bit hard maybe because I am still new.
What I hope this tool will give me is speed with making my icons with the ability to draw sketches which can affect the results deeply.

It is the medium size, it's really bigger than I thought. I don't know if this will make it tiring for my hand to move on the big tablet for long time.
Till now there's no plans. I am training with it for 3 days and then will try to start using it for serious works. I hope that will help.

Finally, I'd like to thank my father (I can't thank you enough even if I lived just to thank you) for helping me getting it. I'd like to thank all of you for the support, because you know withought it I couldn't reach what I am now, so thank you friends I hope everyone who's planning to get a tablet will enjoy it as much as I do ^^

Good luck for you all, and thanks again

Hey all,

A quick question:

What is the size of a iPad application icon?

Thanks a lot in advance
Good luck all

Hey all,

Make sure to come to the online Adobe event introducing the new Creative Suite 5 features online at Adobe's website.
Register now so you can enter. The event is starting tomorrow so be there [link]

Let's hope that it's a greater version of the software we live with everyday.

Hey all,

I don't know why am writing this, but lately I've been reading lots of journals for deviants who want to leave (or already left). I can describe it with one word. It feels like "Shit".
Sorry if I offended anybody with that word. It simply feels like that.

I think we need to think up about this. When everyone leaves it feels like something is missed. As if we had a full body but now we lost one eye, next we lose one leg... etc.
It's simply obvious (for most of those who leave) that the reason is: Dead relationship with deviants.

I can simply say "It's the technology" but I won't. Technology makes life easier till we got to a point that we don't want even to comment. Maybe it's just my theory. But I'd more like to say "It's the people"...

You see a deviant with no good pageviews, give him a comment, cheer him up, comment on his worst work to improve him. You didn't talk to a watcher or a friend for a while, say hello, ask how he's doing. It should make him think. Thinking makes some action inside of him. When he thinks, he's inside the canvas of deviantart. This makes him want this action back when he don't have it, so he'll always some back to get and give more and more...

So, whatever. It's the first time I write my feelings I think. I felt so bad about it so I wrote.

Anyway, good luck for you all.
Best wishes

Hi everyone, I hope everything is fine for all of you.

Thanks all my watchers, friends, mates, humans who helped me reach all what I've reached. A VERY BIG HUG FOR YOU ALL! and of course I'll be looking for more

This year will be deferent a little bit. I'll get into photography (I don't promise I'll submit photographs. This is my first flower btw [link] )  and design for print (I don't know if there was a definition for that).
I'll make my best to make all the possible projects I can make this year, because there's lots of plans.

Finally, I'd like to thank you for reading this, and I'll wish you all the best

In remembrance of the war on gaza on Dec, 19, 2008. We will never forget.

Hi all,

Since the Disney collection is kind of a problem for me because it takes time to make every single icon, I decided to continue with my other plans. Am introducing "The great Cup" collection.

The collection talks about different kinds of cups from deferent cultures and nations and for different uses. I started the collection with "The Cup of Faith" which is now available for download at my gallery. I hope you liked it. I am planning to include 15 icons in the collection because I'll be doing another collection of web interfaces.

I'll do my best with this collection and will try to be faster than I was with the Disney icons. Wish me a good luck.
Good luck all, Mhmood

Hi all,
Before we start I'd like to say thanks for all the latest favcomments.

Tomorrow October 26th 2009, The day I'll start my first year at college. I am a little bit excited to know how will it start. After that I'll be bored for sure.. like everything in life. But it's still nice to learn because I'll explore things I didn't know before, so I think the whole way is worth.
I wanted to thank you all, if I could I would thank the whole community of Deviantart for the knowledge you gave me. Every picture helped, every comment, every emote icon and every one of you inspired me to get to what I got now. So ,even it wont be enough, Thank you.

I'll be learning general graphics in the coming two years, and will get into web design in the 3rd and last year. After that I can do a project which will be handed to another university from another country that I choose so I get my BA certificate. I won't stop there. As long as am breathing I'll get as much far as I can.
In the last two months I had some work. I was working as web designer. I got a little bit into CSS and XHTML and I may get into .NET. I got another client. They're a group of artists, DJs and Idk.. they make some sound tracks. Although, am thinking to get another work so I can fill the remaining free time.

Nothing more.. I'll continue my collection because I got many ready things I'll be posting after the Disney collection.

Thanks again,
Mhmood

O_O Did you read my journal about my birthday [link] ?
There was a sentence that says "I thought a iMac will suddenly fall on me " and oh my god a iMac suddenly fall on me. I got a new iMac 20' 4GB RAM that am really happy to have ^^

Anyway, I wont be using it right now, because I'll need to buy Adobe CS4  mac version. After that my work will boost for sure. And I'll prepare for more projects other than #idock .
I wont forget that you wished for me to get that iMac so thanks a lot because it came true and I wont forget the one who bought it for me , my father, the only one who I cant thank enough even if I lived only to thank him.

It's really exciting to see something you really want while you don't have it, but now I have it, and it's a bit... not interesting   .
Well, I wont stop using it after I get that Adobe CS4 installed in it, so count on me until I get it

Well nothing else, good luck for all and thanks again

Hi all

I've just made a deviantart account named "idock" which will be talking about docks. I am planning to start it at September 1st and it's 10 days far from now.
I need some people to help out the project, the only thing I need is someone to convert the dock from an image to a dock with the right properties and settings...

The project has it's twitter account too [link] so you can get more updates and if you're really interested or you know someone who's interested then please send me a note at #idock.

For more information visit the #idock profile.

Tomorrow is Aug 5th 2009 which is 18 years far from Aug 5th 1991. It's my birthday
Well, nothing new about it,it's just like usual but the only special thing is that the final project of my college will be handed tomorrow and I'll have an interview for 15 minutes about it.
I made a DVD cover for Tom&Jerry and also made a random logo and a contact card and other papers usually used by companies.. and I think I did well. We'll have a small party to celebrate the end of the introduction for graphic design and welcome a vacation of two months. Two months are great for me to proceed what I've started here already.

Well...I am 18 hmm... I don't know what to say but it feels normal. I thought a iMac will suddenly fall on me but it's alright I'll hold this stupid PC. Oh! lets tell you about my PC... All the icons you see in my gallery are made with a PC. A poor one. I got this: 512MB RAM, Intel Core2Duo, 1.80GHz and a 185GB hard disk ^^ Simply "It sucks".
If you asked me "how long do you wait for Adobe Photoshop to open?" I'd happily say "10 minutes ^^" and sometimes more. Well that's the situation.

Anyway I hope I'll get better year after year... This is the beginning of my 2nd year hanging out with Adobe Photoshop so lets see what can I do.
Good luck all! And happy birthday!

Thanks everyone for your happy birthday comments Am really happy for that ^^
I got no much updates at the moment, I've learned much in the past year and still learning. More outcomes will appear soon as I hope.
Right now work is taking much of my time. And I applied for a new job in a web designing office and starting on sunday. Big vacation has already began and I am getting used to my new home since we moved and I like it here.

Other than that I hope everyone is doing well and having fun Good luck for you all, best wishes
