As a graphic designer, I appreciate the latest updates to Ideogram. The new 4.0 model, in particular, offers more tools and improved image quality, allowing me to focus more on idea generation and creative exploration.

An apple fell on the hedgehog’s head, but instead of discovering gravity, it became an eye.
In Azerbaijani, kirpi (hedgehog) and kirpik (eyelash) share the same root, the hedgehog’s shape resembles an eye, its quills like eyelashes.
This little wordplay turned into a short anim.

Everyone knows Azim Azimzade the caricaturist and graphic artist. But inside his house museum mosque interiors, dome sketches, Art Nouveau ornaments mixed with Islamic ornaments. A whole other artist hiding in plain sight. Read more on my blog.

@TreyPowell1964 Good! Which engine you;'ve used?

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

@AbbasZeineddin Yes, the book is in both Azerbaijani and English.

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

Why does the Azerbaijani alphabet use "ə" (schwa)? My new book traces the politics, culture, design and identity behind a single letter. Coming soon.

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

@mnkz001 Yes, it is the same 'ə' letter, and I think the pronunciation is also more or less the same. In 1926, a unified alphabet was also adopted for all Turkic peoples.

@marc__adler It's always personal when your name is the evidence :)

@Corrtex_ may ayında çap olunmalıdır, səbəblərini təfərrüatlı şəkildə orada yazmışam.

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

@xskvki Yes, however, in 1922, Farhad Aghazadeh's (one of the main alphabet revolutionaries) wish was that the Arabic script uses too many dots, and this is 'problematic' both in writing and technically. Overall, the best equivalent for the 'ə' sound in our language is 'ash'.

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

@ilyatopper Schwa is the name of this symbol in IPA, in the Azerbaijani language we do not use this term. I have written about why this symbol was chosen, about alphabet changes and about technical problems with historical documents in this book.

[Rasul Hasan @rasulhasancom]

@AbbasZeineddin I hope so, but this needs to be clarified with the publisher.

Rest in peace, Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı. He walked the path of enlightenment for the Turkic world and ascended to a glorious peak.
