00:00Welcome to a new episode of your show, Art and Daily Patchworks.
00:19I'm happy to be here with you every day to share with you the latest news and the latest developments in the art scene.
00:26So let's get started.
00:30Hello again, I'm Daban. Let's discover who is our guest today.
01:00Part 2 of unveiling the face behind this store.
01:14In 2021, exactly in this year, I decided to make my first collection of posters.
01:19And the first drawing I did was of Mishta.
01:21At first, I didn't really know what to leave for myself or the audience.
01:25I just drew a few posters and that was it.
01:27Little by little, I started to make sure that the most relaxing thing,
01:30which I can do all day without getting tired,
01:32is to work on something in the theme of Moroccan culture.
01:35And especially gastronomy.
01:37Little by little, and every time I have the opportunity to share my posters or exhibit them in a place,
01:43I try to get as close to the audience as possible.
01:46Anyone who wants to know that I offer 100% Moroccan services or services,
01:52or anyone who wants to say through my posters that I am Moroccan,
01:55even if they are not Moroccan, they can tell them that I was once in Morocco.
01:59I still have a lot of posters and a lot of beautiful collections.
02:03I won't stop creating and sharing art.
02:06This is what I was born to do.
02:13Here, the idea came to me to remember those moments with the most thing I wanted to do in this life,
02:17which is to express what I wanted to draw.
02:20We bring together the love of Morocco and art,
02:23and create new memories and try new things,
02:26so that we can share with more people the Moroccan culture and beauty in its details.
02:31Because I believe that art has a great ability to convey a lot of feelings and feelings,
02:36and preserve our history so that even the next generations can know how things were before.
02:45We have with us today a special kind of artist,
02:48Zakaria, hello and welcome.
02:50Thank you, Osama.
02:51How are you?
02:52Thank God, everything is fine.
02:53Thank God.
02:54Tell us about your profession.
02:56My profession is a graphic designer.
02:59I was trained in multimedia development,
03:03which means that graphic design is a remodeling of training.
03:06But then I discovered that in formal studies,
03:10I was more interested in everything related to design and art.
03:14I realized that my passion from a young age,
03:17led me to become a graphic designer.
03:20You can say that you are a content creator.
03:24Yes, I can say that.
03:26If you make beautiful videos,
03:28you can find them on your Instagram account.
03:32What is your relationship with drawing?
03:35What do you do when you draw?
03:37Because you draw, paint, and color,
03:39and not only in software or on PC.
03:42Did you start drawing with a pen and paper?
03:47Yes, when I was young, I used to draw.
03:50I wanted to become a graphic designer,
03:53so I went to school.
03:55I always wanted to work in a field related to design,
04:01be it graphic design, architecture, or modeling.
04:05I discovered that in this field of graphic design,
04:08you can read about photography, history of art,
04:13techniques of drawing, and so on.
04:17This made me want to learn more.
04:20What about before training?
04:23How did you draw?
04:27Did you use a pencil?
04:30I used to draw with a pencil.
04:33If I wanted to create something,
04:36I would use a pencil.
04:38I used to take a piece of paper,
04:40stamp it, and discover the techniques of drawing.
04:43Even after that, I discovered other techniques,
04:46such as colors.
04:47Why couldn't you do the same?
04:50Honestly, I was always confused.
04:55I didn't know what to do.
04:58Especially in Morocco,
05:00when you say you didn't know what to do,
05:03you didn't know what to draw.
05:05I didn't know how to balance between what I wanted
05:10and what I was doing.
05:12You were balancing your talent,
05:15what you learned in training,
05:17with the Moroccan culture.
05:20Was this style of drawing
05:24your style from the beginning?
05:28No, it wasn't from the beginning.
05:30This started during COVID.
05:33It was just a challenge.
05:36We were in lockdown,
05:39and I wanted to do illustrations
05:41related to Ramadan.
05:42I would take different pictures
05:46of the Ramadan table,
05:48and I would try to draw them.
05:51Then I discovered that people want this.
05:54I was able to create posters
05:59with graphics,
06:00compositions,
06:01writing,
06:02colors,
06:03and my passion for art.
06:06You have a vintage side.
06:08Where does it come from?
06:10I like colors a lot.
06:13I always have posters with colors,
06:16yellow, orange, red.
06:18I do a lot of vintage and pop art.
06:22That's why I always have posters with colors.
06:26What software do you prefer to use?
06:29Photoshop, Illustrator,
06:31but mostly Illustrator.
06:33That's where I draw.
06:34These two softwares,
06:36Graphic Designer,
06:37can be used by anyone
06:39who wants to do this job.
06:40It's not an easy job.
06:41There's a lot of work,
06:43and it's not easy.
06:46It's not easy to get inspiration.
06:50The brain of a graphic designer
06:52needs to be big
06:53to have effective creativity.
06:56Well done.
07:02These softwares take a lot of time
07:04and effort
07:06to create a small poster.
07:10How long does it take to create a poster?
07:13Seven hours.
07:14Seven hours?
07:15Seven hours.
07:16Continuous.
07:17Continuous.
07:18Seven hours?
07:19Yes.
07:20I drew a lantern
07:22in my room in Ramadan.
07:24Like a lantern?
07:26Yes.
07:27It took me seven hours.
07:29I chose a dark background
07:31and it took me seven hours.
07:34What's the shortest time?
07:36Two hours.
07:37Minimum two hours.
07:38Two hours?
07:39There's no time limit?
07:40No, there isn't.
07:41Or is there?
07:42There's no time limit.
07:43It can be a sketch
07:44or an illustration.
07:46It can be a sketch or an illustration.
07:48Yes.
07:49Minimum two hours.
07:50For example,
07:51it can take two hours to finish a work.
07:53What's the relationship
07:55between graffiti and...
07:57Astrology.
07:58I drew them all
07:59and I made them in stages.
08:01Each one has its own characteristics.
08:04So there's a characteristic
08:06in people who draw.
08:08Yes.
08:09Let's see another creativity
08:11of yours in Australia.
08:15This is...
08:16I can say it's a sign.
08:19A superhero.
08:20It's a...
08:21It's a sign.
08:22It's a sign.
08:23It's a sign.
08:24It's a sign.
08:25Let's see another work.
08:27Ah!
08:28A poster.
08:29How did you shoot this poster?
08:31Why did you shoot another one?
08:33This concept,
08:34I always wanted it in my illustrations,
08:36to not put it as a clean poster.
08:38I wanted to show
08:40and get inspiration
08:41for the whole process.
08:42And I did this challenge
08:44last year.
08:45For example,
08:46I drew a cat
08:47walking in Morocco.
08:48I took the cat
08:49and took a picture with it.
08:50I went to the place
08:51where they sell pottery
08:52and took a picture with the poster.
08:54So I sat down
08:55and drew something
08:56and went to the place
08:57where they sell it.
08:58Ah, this is the place of the cat.
08:59Yes.
09:00When we see the poster
09:01of the cat
09:02and see the place,
09:03we say,
09:04ah, this is the cat's characteristic.
09:05Yes, the cat's characteristic.
09:06This is our dream.
09:07This is a success.
09:08So when you go to places
09:09and you draw something,
09:10do you follow
09:11the drawing?
09:13I don't go to places,
09:14but I used to live
09:15in many cities.
09:16I used to live in Fes,
09:17Mohamediyat, Mara.
09:18This is where
09:19I got my inspiration.
09:20I used to live
09:21in many places.
09:22For example,
09:23I used to live
09:24in a city.
09:25The city gave me
09:26a new perspective.
09:27The city
09:28doesn't look like the city.
09:29This is one of the reasons
09:30for my inspiration.
09:31True,
09:32but you create
09:33a kind of storytelling.
09:34Yes.
09:35You say,
09:36ah, this drawing
09:37has a story,
09:38a story,
09:39and an origin.
09:40And you draw
09:41places
09:42in its origin
09:43and places
09:44that resemble
09:45its origin
09:46to tell me
09:47this is the result.
09:48As you said,
09:49this styrofoam
09:50is a work of art,
09:51but the styrofoam
09:52plus the mug
09:53is another work of art.
09:54Exactly.
09:55And the styrofoam
09:56plus the mug
09:57plus this plateau
09:58is another work of art.
09:59Can you bring
10:00the two together?
10:01Yes, yes.
10:02We try to bring
10:03the audience
10:04as close as possible
10:05to where this work
10:06came from.
10:07So,
10:08you don't stop
10:09at the poster
10:10only.
10:11You can have a poster
10:12and be part
10:13of an installation
10:14or a big concept.
10:15Right?
10:16Exactly.
10:17Have you thought
10:18about doing exhibitions?
10:19Have you thought
10:20about doing exhibitions?
10:21Or have you already
10:22done exhibitions?
10:23I have thought
10:24about doing exhibitions.
10:25I have done them
10:26but in the concept
10:27of a pop-up store.
10:28It is intended
10:29for sale.
10:30I have exhibited
10:31in hotels,
10:32for example,
10:33in this one
10:34where there was
10:35no event
10:36or anything.
10:37I have exhibited
10:38and honestly,
10:39it was a big opportunity
10:40and it made me
10:41sure that
10:42this is what
10:43I wanted to do.
10:44Because it is
10:45a direct exchange
10:46with people.
10:47And in this
10:48pop-up store
10:49that you have
10:50in events
10:51and hotels,
10:52there are
10:53sales,
10:54right?
10:55Yes, yes.
10:56Respect for your
10:57creations.
10:58Without the
10:59sales,
11:00is it an opportunity
11:01to get to know
11:02your art
11:03and your talent
11:04or is it
11:05an exchange
11:06with people
11:07who want to
11:08get to know
11:09you?
11:10Of course,
11:11there are many
11:12exchanges
11:13and many
11:14contacts.
11:15Especially
11:16with the exogenous
11:17public who
11:18want to be
11:19a tourist
11:20and see
11:21the pop-up store
11:22and say,
11:23oh,
11:24this is one
11:25of the things
11:26we see.
11:27Especially,
11:28I didn't
11:29have many
11:30followers
11:31and they said
11:32that this is
11:33one of the
11:34things
11:35that I have
11:36concretized
11:37for a long
11:38time.
11:39I have
11:40many followers
11:41and I am
11:42very happy
11:43to be able
11:44to be
11:45a part
11:46of this
11:47project.
11:48I have
11:49many
11:50followers
11:51and I
11:52am happy
11:53to be
11:54a part
11:55of this
11:56project.
11:57I am
11:58very happy
11:59to be
12:00a part
12:01of this
12:02project.
12:03I am
12:04very happy
12:05to be
12:06a part
12:07of this
12:08project.
12:10I love
12:11this country
12:12very much.
12:13I love
12:14the American
12:15women very
12:16much.
12:17I
12:18love
12:19the
12:20Lebanese
12:21women very
12:22much.
12:24I love
12:25the Moroccan
12:26women very
12:27much.
12:28I love
12:29the Like
12:33Moroccan
12:34women very
12:35We had to move a lot of cities because of its service and it was left in the hands of the leader.
12:39So we had to install it in a city and we had to move again and live in another city.
12:44So the city itself is an inspiration.
12:47So every city can inspire you with something new.
12:49Okay, nice.
12:51PC or Mac?
12:52Mac.
12:53Because it's easier to use? Why?
12:55Because the graphics look good, the colors come out well.
12:59It's practical.
13:00The designers know that Mac is practical.
13:02Let's talk about your parents and your journey.
13:05Why did your parents support you from the beginning?
13:08Yes, honestly.
13:09They were always encouraging me.
13:13Because if I didn't go all the way,
13:16of course I would have a career in finance,
13:20but they always supported me and believed in me.
13:23And your fans, your followers,
13:27you engage with them in discussions, you chat with them a little.
13:31What do you call them, by the way?
13:32Do you call them a community, a family, a fan?
13:34Honestly, I haven't heard the word yet,
13:37but we can call them a community.
13:41Yes, we sometimes do surveys about what we can do,
13:46they even ask me questions about training,
13:48how can we help these people,
13:51how can they do something to improve their training,
13:54or to move forward.
13:57So there is an exchange.
13:59How can you stop at the posters you sell,
14:02the drawings, the illustrations,
14:04and move on to events, festivals, and clubs,
14:11and without all of this, start creating content?
14:16How do you do that?
14:17You make a video, you watch some of it,
14:20where do you show your passion,
14:22where do you highlight your talent?
14:27As far as I know, creating content and videos is not easy.
14:30It looks easy and simple,
14:32and it takes 15 minutes to do it,
14:36but there is a lot of work involved.
14:38How did you come up with this idea,
14:39and what do you want from it, what do you expect from it?
14:42Honestly, my goal, in addition to all of this,
14:45is to share our Moroccan culture,
14:48either with, as you said, the exogenous audience,
14:51or with the younger generations,
14:52who maybe don't know how to play,
14:54or don't know how to play,
14:56or don't know their own rhythm,
14:58or don't know their own nostalgia.
15:01My goal is to show the maximum of the Moroccan tradition,
15:08in its gastronomy, in its tradition, in everything.
15:11And you lived this, right?
15:13Yes.
15:14You lived it?
15:15Yes, I lived it.
15:16All the kids lived it.
15:17We say that it was in the 80s,
15:20or maybe in the early 90s,
15:23but you and your sister...
15:26No, no, I lived it.
15:28All the games, yes, I had it in my mind.
15:30Both of you.
15:31Both of us.
15:32Why did you decide on your goal,
15:35or your main goal?
15:37My main goal, honestly, is two things.
15:40The first is to make this into a physical store,
15:42where I have my posters,
15:44full of goodies, t-shirts, mugs,
15:46anything physical,
15:48where I have my artworks.
15:50And the second goal is to organize workshops,
15:54where we teach people graphic design,
15:57and how to work with a graphic tablet,
15:59how to find their style in drawing,
16:02so they can start.
16:04You mentioned the graphic tablet,
16:07but what about drawing?
16:09Physical, as they call it,
16:11can easily surpass the digital graphic tablet,
16:15but you have to prepare it,
16:17you have to train for it.
16:19No, you don't need training,
16:21even if you don't know how to draw physically,
16:24you can use it,
16:26but first you have to be practical.
16:30Otherwise, anyone can work with it.
16:33We saw in one of your videos
16:35how you draw and paint the Colosseum of Silence.
16:39Tell us about this Colosseum,
16:42how did you draw it,
16:44how did you complete it?
16:46The result is very precise,
16:49and there are details.
16:51It was a challenge for me,
16:53because I didn't know how to draw it manually,
16:56and I wanted to challenge myself,
16:58because I didn't have the technique yet.
17:00So I took a piece of paper,
17:02put it in front of the camera,
17:04and started drawing.
17:06Did you draw the base by hand?
17:08Yes, I drew the base by hand.
17:10I used a pencil,
17:12and when I didn't have one,
17:14I had the option to work with a software,
17:18and draw the base layer by layer.
17:21I drew the first layer,
17:23and then I drew the second one.
17:26I drew the first layer,
17:28and then I drew the second layer,
17:30and then I drew the third layer,
17:32and then I drew the fourth layer,
17:34and so on.
17:36And how did you paint it?
17:38Did you draw a layer,
17:40or was it another layer?
17:42I drew a layer,
17:44and then I added another layer.
17:46I drew a layer,
17:48and then I added another layer.
17:50How long did it take you?
17:52Five minutes?
17:54No, it took me two and a half hours.
17:56Well done.
17:58Let's go back to content creation.
18:00Choosing music is important.
18:02How do you choose the music
18:04for your videos?
18:06Because there are people
18:08who use music,
18:10but on Instagram,
18:12there are a lot of requests
18:14to choose a well-known song,
18:16or to edit it,
18:18even on Instagram.
18:20You know that Instagram
18:22doesn't like this.
18:24How do you deal with the details
18:26of editing, music,
18:28and content creation?
18:30Honestly, at first,
18:32I didn't pay much attention to it.
18:34For me, the goal was
18:36for people to see what I was doing.
18:38But when I started to solve the problem,
18:40I started to use voice-over.
18:42In my recent videos,
18:44I used voice-over
18:46with the original sound of the video.
18:48That way, I'm sure that everything is fine.
18:50In one of your videos,
18:52Hazar said that she does this,
18:54and that she knows how to fix it,
18:56and that she can do something
18:58without it.
19:00In other words,
19:02you are in the center,
19:04and you want to do something else.
19:06Yes, I'm in the center,
19:08but above all,
19:10I want people to see
19:12what I'm doing.
19:14Every time I get new ideas,
19:16new inspirations,
19:18new collections,
19:20I make sure that I'm doing the right thing.
19:22On Instagram,
19:24you have three accounts.
19:26Three,
19:28or four?
19:30Three.
19:32One is a professional graphic designer,
19:34and the other is a personal one.

19:48This is a graphic design account.
19:50I've been using it for three months now.
19:52I focus on
19:54restaurants and hotels.
19:56I work with hotels,
19:58restaurants,
20:00or any brand that
20:02offers a Moroccan gastronomy service.
20:08I do rebranding,
20:10website design,

20:14even personalized illustrations.
20:16So everything that is professional,
20:18everything that is graphic design,
20:20I do it in this account.
20:22You are also a freelancer.
20:24Yes.
20:26What do you recommend to graphic designers
20:28who want to create
20:30their own style
20:32and have their own
20:34visual identity?
20:36What do you say
20:38to graphic designers
20:40or other talented people
20:42who are looking for a job
20:44but find it difficult
20:46to find a job?
20:48To answer your first question,
20:50to find your own style,
20:52you have to try everything.
20:54You can't say,
20:56I don't want to follow this style,
20:58I want to try a different style,
21:00a different method, a different technique
21:02until I find the style I like
21:04and start to define
21:06our objectives.
21:08For people who are struggling
21:10to find a job
21:12in the field in general,
21:14the first thing
21:16a person needs to work on
21:18is their portfolio.
21:20In this field,
21:22I can't hire someone
21:24who doesn't know how to do it.
21:26For example,
21:28if you don't know a language,
21:30you need to have a strong portfolio
21:32where you can show
21:34your skills.
21:36This is what you need to recruit.
21:38A portfolio is an important thing
21:40to work on your image,
21:42to work on your works,
21:44to put them together in a coherent way.
21:46For you,
21:48what are the upcoming projects?
21:50I'm working on a new collection
21:52with the same concept
21:54of vintage posters
21:56with a Moroccan tradition.
21:58The second project is
22:00to create a book
22:02with illustrations
22:04and not just text.
22:06I hope
22:08it will be an animation
22:10of workshops for young people
22:12who want to learn the field.
22:14Are your posters available
22:16to the public?
22:18Yes,
22:20they are available.
22:22The product is digital,
22:24so it's up to the client
22:26to choose the dimensions,
22:28the frame, the colors,
22:30etc.
22:32If you want something else,
22:34you can order it?
22:36Yes, of course.
22:38There is a problem
22:40with the frame.
22:42Do you have any tips
22:44to avoid this problem?
22:46I don't have any tips.
22:48There are some people
22:50who don't like to dig the wall,
22:52but I personally
22:54don't trust them
22:56because the frame is heavy
22:58and the material is heavy,
23:00so they don't like to dig the wall.
23:02Make him a specialist
23:04in the field.
23:08Any last words?
23:10Thank you,
23:12Oussama,
23:14for your participation in Patchwork.
23:16I want to tell everyone
23:18to believe in what they are doing
23:20and let the whole world be against it.
23:22Believe in it and make sure
23:24that as long as God
23:26has planted faith in it,
23:28it will reach its destination.
23:30Bravo.
23:34This is the end of the episode.

23:38Thank you to the technical team
23:40and the artists.
