This is a poster created by Ghobad Shiva. The design is a blend of traditional Persian art elements, calligraphy, and modern graphic design principles.
At the center is a large, stylized representation of a 'Gol-o-Morgh' (flower and bird) motif, which is emblematic of Persian art. The symmetry and floral patterns are typical of Persian miniature paintings and motifs found in carpets and architectural decoration. It provides a visual metaphor for the beauty and complexity of Saadi's poetry. Surrounding the central image is Persian calligraphy, which is likely excerpts from Saadi's poetry. The calligraphy is not just text but an integral part of the artwork, demonstrating the traditional connection between visual art and literature in Persian culture. At the bottom, there is trilingual text (in Persian, French, and English), announcing the 800th anniversary of Saadi's birth, indicating the international recognition of the event.
