My Arabic textbook has incredible illustrations. The book lists a "designer," Dr. Ahmad Afiifi, who I assume is the artist (and perhaps the caligrapher). I am learning some adjectives, which are being presented through opposites. Some are pretty straightforward.
Short and tall, for example.
Some are more strange and troubling. This one is a favorite...
Any guesses?
Pretty and ugly! Pretty scary ideas about prettiness and ugliness.
And this one? It is trickier.
On the right the man is wearing a hat that is too small; on the left it is too large. The adjectives are narrow and wide.
There are other illustrations, which are quite dramatic. This guy is...
sick.
