Welcome Mirror Signage
Hand-lettering on antique mirror, English + Arabic calligraphy, on-site install.
For Reel Yousif and Nick Branter's wedding, the welcome moment needed to feel personal before guests even entered the room: a bilingual greeting lettered directly onto an antique mirror with a warm, heirloom frame.
I developed sketch rounds to balance English roman lettering with right-to-left Arabic calligraphy, then prepped the mirror surface so the paint could sit cleanly without fighting the reflective glass. The final was drawn with posca paint markers, with extra care given to Arabic letterform accuracy and spacing.
“We were blown away by how this mirror turned out. The hand-drawn design felt so precise — completely accurate Arabic calligraphy.”
The composition was built to read in photographs and in person, with enough contrast for the lettering to hold against changing reflections throughout the venue.
