“7 Years of Rejection” is a self-published archive of unused design proposals created between 2017 and 2024. The book reflects on seven years of independent practice, showcasing rejected visual concepts that never reached the public eye. Presented as both a visual diary and a reflection on process, it celebrates the unseen labor, the risks, and growth embedded in these forgotten works. The publication is bilingual (Arabic/English) and designed to be read from both directions: the English side arranges the concepts chronologically, while the Arabic side reorders them non chronologically, offering two perspectives on the same body of work. More than a collection of “discarded” designs, 7 Years of Rejection invites readers to rethink the value of ideas that don’t make it to final approval.
