The Creative Shift
On Friday, August 22, we gathered again at Maadi Public Library from 2 PM to 6 PM for another inspiring Syntax Offline Meetup – one of the most exciting events of the year for our design community.
The meetup brought together a vibrant group of designers eager to sharpen their skills, explore new perspectives, and connect with like-minded creatives.
The day featured two insightful sessions delivered by industry experts:
Ahmed Mansour – Senior UI/UX Designer
Presented a session titled "Back to Basics: How to Make Your Design Stand Out", where he explored the foundations of visual and UI design, shared tips to speed up workflows, and explained how psychology can be used to create designs that truly grab attention.
Ahmed Magdy Elswafy – Creative Director
Led a talk on "The Multi-Skilled Designer in 2025", discussing why modern designers need to master more than one tool, how to prioritize learning, and why motion graphics & After Effects have become a core skill for today’s market.
Beyond the content, the meetup was also about connection—attendees exchanged ideas, shared experiences, and walked away with fresh energy and inspiration for their creative journeys.
