Arabic Words Explained With Illustrations Of Their Literal Meaning

Published 7 years ago

Graphic designer and an architect Mahmoud El Sayed was always fascinated by word manipulation, and now he found a way to express his fascination with this personal challenge of illustrating Arabic words and the meanings behind them.

“I manipulate Arabic words and transform them into their meaning, and I made a total of 40 illustrated words,” he told Bored Panda. “Also, there is the pronunciation of those words above every picture that will hopefully help you to learn something new!”
