Abstract

With all the chaos going in Egypt, it’s easy to forget the efforts that are made for dogs and cats. Although there is a huge segment of people who are interested in pets, their efforts are scattered. Wag is a mobile application that provides a platform to bring together forces of pet owners,service provides and interested people in humanitarian NGOS. It aims to not only achieve a helpful, educated and more responsive community, but also to boost the morale of animals activists and change the behavior of the community. Wag provides the users with updated information about everything they need to know in this community. In case of emergency, the application provides the user with professional fast help to save a pet or stray. The user can choose from a variety of services. There are more than 100 contacts of vets, shops and others. The users have the ability to choose the service based on their need. Since the project aims to create a community that helps animals, there were several products sold during the gallery. The profits were donated

This project is part of “ Zoom in Keda- Fourth Graduating Class of Graphic Design Students-The American University in Cairo – Class 2018-2019” catalog. Several global cities have acquired an international rep¬utation as design education hubs by acknowledging the importance of education planning and early learning ex¬periences through providing a structured career path and aligning design skills with the economy’s various needs. Our 8 years old Graphic Design program at the Ameri¬can University in Cairo aims to follow the same strategy, mentoring students on how to channel their creativity and knowledge into reshaping their communities, leaving a positive imprint on their society. Four design segments have been commonly defined in the MENA region’s design sector; namely: Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Interior Design, and Industrial/Product Design. The title for the fourth design seniors show was “Zoom in Keda “. As with the previous 3 exhibitions, the title builds on the graphic design language in Egyptian vernacular cul¬ture. “Zoom in Keda” is a commonly used phrase in the de¬sign field, told when one wishes to examine the micro de¬tails of a design on screen. The exhibition was held at the AUC Sharjah Art Gallery on December 2nd, 2018, where bachelor projects completed by the fourth graduating class of Graphic Design students were displayed.
