I presented and designed a translation course on the 5th of July this year by the title of Translating Comics, Designs and Graphics, where I showcased the different ways to translate designs by translating the following poster and book cover:


Sneaky pete poster in Arabic مسلسل سنيكي بيت مترجم

Creative translation that is not limited by the literal words of the original design. Notice how the typography matches that of the original which is where the design skill comes in handy for the translator


Some posters and designs are translated without changing anything in the original design, and although it might look appealing, it still limits the translator's creativity with words.


The original ST design


Another example I translated is the cover of BestGhost by C. J. Daley to showcase that literal transition is not possible sometimes, and to showcase the faithfulness in the translated design
