With the help of the article "Understanding Arab Culture: The Ultimate Guide to the Orient" and our background, we decided to work with Arabic typography. 
The goal of our project is to bring the Arab culture closer to the viewers, because in Europe very often a wrong image is projected. To remove these prejudices, we wanted to choose a theme in which everyone can find a common ground.
We chose the theme of food, because it is a main part of our culture and brings people together. Just like food, street art connects different cultures or religions. 
First we chose different Arabic fonts, but we found a self-written handwriting more suitable and authentic.
For the color selection we decided on blue and magenta, because on the one hand the two colors are used very often in the street art scene, on the other hand blue is the color of the sea and magenta is the color of Arabic spices. 
It was important to us to present everything in a non-cheesy way.
