Clayit
Corporate gifts, branding and packaging in Arabic and English.
Clayit is an international brand and event studio, based in the UAE and Jordan and working in English and Arabic. We take on work wherever the client is: briefs and reviews happen online, and print arrives as press-ready files for a local printer. Most of what we make gets printed, mounted, handed out or walked past, which tends to settle arguments about whether a design is finished. You deal with the two founders, not an account manager. Farah Khatib leads design and events. She spent more than seven years at Al Masaood, rising to Senior Graphic Designer and Events Manager. There she led a design team, guided brand standards across the group's businesses and drew the mark for its fiftieth anniversary. Ziyad Urabi leads marketing. He was Marketing Manager at Dimlaj Group for ten years, where dimlaj.com and the group's social accounts did over AED 2 million in UAE e-commerce sales in a single year. What we make: - Brand identity, guidelines and packaging - Event identity and everything the room needs: stage screens, media walls, signage, invitations, name tags - Bilingual print: magazines, brochures, catalogues and company profiles - Websites and Shopify stores built to sell - Social content, campaigns and SEO - Corporate gifts, from Ramadan and Eid hampers to employee welcome boxes Clients include Al Masaood, Al Wafaa Dates, Agrimatco, Twentis, Leaders Production, House of Zein and Grace Movement. How we work: before drawing anything, we look for the one decision that settles the rest. Usually it's a colour, a module or one key visual. We build it at the size most likely to break it, a name tag or a favicon, then scale up. And nothing ships until it has been printed, mounted or tested in a browser. Anything that can't be checked is an opinion, and opinions are not deliverables. Tell us what has to exist, and by when. 2 people in their team

Description Corporate and personalised gifts, and the packaging they arrive in. We design employee welcome gifts, client gift boxes and branded gift sets as one piece with your brand: the object, the box, the sleeve, the card and the carrier bag. For Al Masaood's Go Green campaign, the employee welcome gift and the tote bag carried the same mark as the posters. For Al Wafaa Dates, one hand-drawn emblem became the pattern on gift boxes, pouches, tins and wrapping paper. We work on the printer's dieline from day one, set labels in Arabic and English, sign off on mockups, and send files to print with dielines and colour notes.Skills in Packaging (5) Packaging DesignGraphic PackagingFood PackagingCustom PackagingRetail PackagingWork in Packaging (1) Client in Packaging (1) Al Wafa DatesFood | regional
Learn more about PackagingDescription Brand identity for companies that need one system to work everywhere it shows up: the idea behind it, the mark and logo, Arabic and English wordmarks, colour and type, guidelines, and the packaging, signage and templates that carry it. For Al Wafaa Dates, a Medjool grower in the Jordan Valley, we built the brand on one line, the lowest place on earth grows the highest grade of date, drew the emblem and the square Kufic wordmark by hand, and turned the emblem into a pattern for every pack. For Twentis, an online electronics retailer, the identity and the storefront were one job. You leave with guidelines your own team can apply without calling us. Three review rounds are included.Skills in Branding & Positioning (4) Brand PositioningCorporate BrandingProduct BrandingBrand StrategyWork in Branding & Positioning (1) Client in Branding & Positioning (1) Al Wafa DatesFood | regional
Learn more about Branding & PositioningDescription Event identity and production design for corporate events, internal launches, National Day and Ramadan gatherings. It starts with one key visual made to survive a dozen sizes, then we design everything the room needs: stage screens and animated openers, media walls, signage, invitations, agendas, name tags and table flags. For Al Masaood's Masaood 2.0 launch, one image of the group's monogram standing in still water carried the day, from a 3 by 2 metre media wall down to a name holder the width of a hand. Farah Khatib managed events in-house at Al Masaood before Clayit, so the files are built for how events actually get produced: supplier specs, print deadlines and set-up day. Arabic and English as standard.Skills in Event (1) Event MarketingWork in Event (1) Client in Event (1) AL MasaoodAutomotive | regional
Learn more about EventDescription Long-form print, the pieces people sit down and read: corporate magazines, brochures, product catalogues and company profiles. Bilingual work is where we are strongest. On the fifth edition of Al Masaood's corporate magazine, English runs left to right on one page and Arabic right to left on the facing page, meeting at the gutter, so neither reads like a translation of the other. For Agrimatco we designed an 80 page product catalogue for their fertilizer range, with a coloured band on the edge of every page that tells you which range you are in before you have read a word. Files go out print-ready, checked for bleed, image resolution and fonts, and we can deal with the printer for you.Skills in Print (4) Magazine DesignPrint DesignPrint CommunicationPrint Collateral
Learn more about PrintDescription The visual system itself: the mark, the wordmark in Arabic and English, colour, type, and the guidelines that stop it drifting six months after launch. A project can be as small as one logo, like the 55 Years badge we drew for Al Masaood with three concepts and three rounds of revisions, or as complete as a full identity. For Al Wafaa Dates we drew the emblem and a square Kufic wordmark by hand. For Twentis, an online electronics retailer, we set the construction on a grid and showed which variations are allowed. Where a name needs Arabic, we draw it rather than typeset it. You get master artwork in the formats your printer, your developer and your signage supplier will ask for.Skills in Graphic Identity (5) Brand DesignBrand IdentityCorporate IdentityLogo DesignVisual IdentityWorks in Graphic Identity (2) Clients in Graphic Identity (2) Al Wafa DatesFood | regionalAL MasaoodAutomotive | regional
Learn more about Graphic IdentityDescription Graphic design for everything between a brand book and a campaign: presentations and pitch decks, reports and handbooks, campaign key visuals with the ad sets that come off them, infographics, posters, and the templates your team keeps using after we leave. For Al Masaood's Go Green campaign we drew six posters, one of them a fish skeleton built out of single use cutlery, then carried the same mark onto office screens, recycling bins, tote bags and stationery. For House of Zein we designed a 20 page brand and Instagram deck and a 37 page client care handbook. Work comes in English and Arabic, and anything meant to be reused is handed over as a working file, not only a PDF.Skills in Graphic Design (4) Editorial DesignIllustrationCorporate DesignMerchandisingWorks in Graphic Design (2) Clients in Graphic Design (2) Al Wafa DatesFood | regionalAL MasaoodAutomotive | regional
Learn more about Graphic DesignDescription Websites and Shopify stores made to sell rather than to look good. We design and build on Shopify, Wix Studio or custom code, and Arabic gets its own right-to-left layout. The work covers page structure planned around what the visitor came to do, product and collection pages, booking and enquiry flows, WhatsApp and lead forms, mobile and speed checks, and the SEO groundwork so Google can read the site from launch. Recent work includes the live site for Leaders Production, an events production company working out of Dubai and Riyadh, and the site for Grace Movement, a ladies only dance community in Dubai. Once the final payment clears, the site, the accounts and the files are yours.Skills in Website Creation (5) Landing Page DesignResponsive WebsiteShopify DevelopmentShowcase WebsiteWix DevelopmentWork in Website Creation (1) Client in Website Creation (1) LeadersEntertainment & Events
Learn more about Website CreationDescription Shopify stores for brands that sell online in the UAE and Jordan. We design and build the store in Arabic and English, with a proper right-to-left storefront: product pages that answer what buyers ask, a checkout with no surprises, payment and delivery options that work locally, and an email sign-up so you can sell to the same people again. For Twentis, an online electronics retailer, the brand and the storefront were one job. Our marketing founder, Ziyad Urabi, spent ten years as Marketing Manager at Dimlaj Group, where dimlaj.com and the group's social accounts did over AED 2 million in UAE e-commerce sales in a single year. Once the final payment clears, the store is yours.Skills in E-commerce (4) Shopify DevelopmenteCommerce Web DevelopmenteCommerce DesignEcommerce Website
Learn more about E-commerceDescription Social content for brands that want the feed to look like one company. We set up the grid system first, then design the carousels, reels, campaign visuals and ad sets that run on it, in Arabic and English, each one built around a single clear idea. For House of Zein, a ladies only salon in Amman, we designed the brand deck, the Instagram strategy and the grid it runs on.

We find where your customers come from and where they drop off, then build the plan around the few channels worth your money: social, search, email and the website they all point to. For House of Zein, a salon in Amman, that meant a 20 page master deck with positioning, personas, an Instagram strategy and the KPIs to judge it by. Not sure where you stand?

What was the objective behind your collaboration?What we enjoyed most was the way the meetings were conducted and the consistent follow-up throughout every stage of the project. The communication was clear, organized, and efficient, and the team was always responsive to our feedback and needs. Things moved swiftly and smoothly, which made the entire process much easier and more enjoyable for us.
What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?We really loved how the logo was hand-drawn in Arabic calligraphy, giving Al Wafaa a unique and authentic identity. The attention to detail throughout the branding and packaging made the whole concept feel personal and connected to our roots.
