‘The Great Mosque of Varamin’ is the name of a historical book that has been written by one of my best friends ‘Hossein Nakhaei’. This book concerned the process of formation and evolution of this mosque. I was honored to be the designer of the cover of My talented friend, Hossein’s book. Before that, it was designed by someone else, but the former layout was not appropriate, so I changed it.

I had two solutions for designing it as follows:

1. Having an academic spirit; ‘The Great Mosque of Varamin’ was the result of Hossein’s Master’s thesis. So, it had to be designed in an academic structure.
2. Bitter like History; Varamin Mosque over a 700-year period of time has changed a lot but, in the last 50 years, it has been restored in a wrong way. In order to cover this idea, I had to represent the author’s regret for what had happened to that amazing building.
