Title: Arabic calligraphy and typography
Post by: encrenciel on January 25, 2017, 19:50

I'm a calligraphee in both arabic and english language..Do you have any experience with calligraphy and lettering in general? Do they sell well compare to logos and other kind of illustrations? Advice.

Check out this website: http://m-rank.net (http://m-rank.net)
It tells you which vector illustrations sell well on Shutterstock. I remember a guy doing Arabic calligraphy and he used to be somewhere among the top 100 contributors, but I can't find him right now. I've also seen people selling simple motivational quotes ("be strong" "don't give up") written in beautiful handwriting, and they often rank quite high. If you're good, I believe it will sell, since quotes and calligraphy can be used for multiple purposes.

I myself have no experience with calligraphy, and I cannot tell you how they sell compared to logos - but I think you should give it a go :)
