The 2015 edition of the Tasmeem Doha Conference: 3ajeeb! presents playfulness as a methodology to create interesting and rather unexpected outcomes in art and design. This notion of playfulness is reflected in all aspects of the conference and most notably in the publications.
Tasmeem in the Classroom (TIC) detailing a series of semester long pre-conference projects centered around the 3ajeeb! theme, is the first publication in a series of three. The second publication, Tasmeem 3ajeeb! Program, covers all aspects of the conference: speakers, workshops and activities. The third publication, Take Me With You, is the post-conference publication and conveys the spirit of the conference through images, text and reusing components from the remaining issues of the two previous Tasmeem publications.
