Qalaq (Anxiety)
The cover design visually represents the psychological experience of chronic anxiety (Qalaq) by integrating a personal photograph from the novel with a structural typographic intervention. By elongating the Arabic title, قلق, and forcing the lettering to extend past the physical margin of the book, the layout mimics the condition itself. The design uses this intentional boundary break to serve as a literal metaphor: it illustrates how anxiety initiates at a specific moment but continuously stretches outward, defying structural limits to convey a state that persists without closure.

Adam Bergmann
Taking inspiration from the title, the cover design for Dellair Youssef's second book, Adam Bergmann, published by Khan al-Janoub in Berlin, Germany, was based on a black-and-white design to emphasise nihilism.

Videographics & psychological duality
Directed by Dellair Youssef, the film title graphics for "Das letzte Gedicht, das Stefan Buchwald schreiben wollte" translate the protagonist's profound internal conflict into a stark visual layout. The protagonist feels deeply torn—zerrissen—paralyzed between his ambitious desire to write a world-changing poem and his inability to escape his own mental imprisonment. The graphic composition captures this duality through a mirrored, split-portrait structure against a neutral background. By positioning two identical, introspective faces at opposite edges, the design visually encapsulates a mind trapped in self-confrontation. Clean serif typography anchors the center, framed by film festival laurels that signify its critical acclaim. The minimalist monochromatic palette emphasizes emotional isolation, turning the key art into a psychological reflection of creative paralysis and existential tension.
