Looking for Arabesque, Moorish or "Old Islamic style" Stuff

Skins, Icons, whatever

September 17, 2006 3:54:16 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I am new to WindowBlinds and am having loads of fun making (pretty bad) skins. I'd really like to make a skin based on Moorish or Arabesque styles and images.

If anyone can help please let me know.

If this is the wrong forum - I apologise - like I said - I'm a noob

i may be able to help.

Islamic Art is broken down into many styles based on influence:
Geometric/Mathematical (Check out Taprats Link)
Ethnic (Spanish, Morrocan, Portugese, African, Asia, Turkish, Mediteranean) - check out Aridi (Link) or google both islamic + X
Last is Regional folklore & history (Egyptian, Gulf, Mesopotamian, Persian)
I can point you in the right direction, help you make choices and suggest but you will need to do the actual leg work. I may even provide you with some icon work, but i'm purely 3D, my skills in Illustrator is very primitive.
