Masoud Aghaie

Born in 1985 Sari, Iran
Lives and works in Iran

I was born in 1985 in North of Iran, Sari. My always interest in Drawing and designing Propel me to educate in visual art. through the years i figured out my interest in visual communication and i narrow down my studies in this field. Now i am studying In MA. Graphic design in university of art of Tehran.

My always and special focus in Graphic design was poster design although a great section of my designs is included the advertisement and Corporate design. Beside i believe in power of cultural activity through the special power of Graphic in society. This is why that you can find out a series of cultural event posters and a number of global concerns designs and activities.

During the past years i studied particularly in ancient Persian type and typography which is full of potentials in its forms and images. This interests led me to research more on a different action and viewpoint in Persian type with the target of self-educative issue as title of Persian pop-up alphabet book.

In the future i will continue in research and study more and more on Persian Type that has a long way to be appropriately concerned.
