Abdullah Tariq

Honestly, introducing myself has never been easy. I’m a graphic designer, motion designer, editor, documenter, marketer, content writer, content creator — and sometimes even an athlete (though I always say: #أنا_مو_رياضي.

My name is عبدالله طارق (Abdullah Tariq). But because of my wide range of skills, people often call me “خارق” (which in Arabic means super ). And sometimes, that play on words flips into “غارق” (Abdullah drowning) when things get overwhelming.In a world that loves tidy labels, I struggled to pick one that fits — because none of them felt big enough.

Still, neither Kharq nor Gharq fully captures who I am or what I do. So I searched for a name that could hold all these experiences and stories, until I found the one that fits:

Hi, I’m Abdullah Tariq — a Multimedia Creative

صراحة قد يصعب علي التعريف بنفسي فأنا مصمم جرافيكي ومحرك ومحرر و"موثق" ومسوق، وكاتب محتوى، وصناع محتوى، وأحيانا أصير رياضي لكن أقول #أنا_مو_رياضي

وأنا أكتب إسمي عبدالله طارق، لكن بسبب مهاراتي المختلفة الناس ينادوني "عبدالله خارق" وهذا ما قد يؤدي أحيانًا أن يصبح إسمي "عبدالله غارق"..

لكن عبدالله خارق أو غارق لا يعتبر تعريفًا صحيحًا عن نفسي أو مهاراتي فلذلك كان لابد من البحث عن مسمى مناسب يستوعب الكثير من التجارب والقصص، حتى وجدت ضالتي بـ:

أهلا معك عبدالله طارق، multimedia creative أو بالعربي مبدع بمختلف المصادر..

FAQ.

FAQ.

These are some of the most common questions I get asked when I meet people. Whether it’s about how I work, what tools I use, or how I manage deadlines — you’ll find the answers right here.

Are you a designer, an editor, or a photographer?
icon

I’m a designer, editor, animator, and photographer — and I sometimes write too. These are skills I learned through accumulated experience over time. I believe anyone can learn anything, as long as they keep trying and experimenting until they reach mastery.

How do you work?
icon

One of the principles I learned from a young age is the “scientific method for problem-solving.” Over time, I realized it applies to all aspects of life — even creative work. I start by identifying the problem (the brief), then gather information about the issue and possible solutions. After that, I develop appropriate solutions (define creative directions), followed by executing the solutions. Once implemented, I evaluate the results: Do they align with the brief? Did they solve the problem as intended? I end with follow-up and refinement: grow, evolve, and always learn from your experience.

How do you maintain quality despite tight deadlines?
icon

Sometimes time pressure kicks in, but that doesn’t mean quality has to drop. I focus, break the work into clear phases, and know which elements must be top-quality and which details can be temporarily deprioritized without harming the final result. The key lies in creative solutions that cut down long processes while still delivering the same — or even better — results. Smartly, not stressfully.

Where do you work?
icon

I work at Habbar as a Creative Brand Manager. I oversee visual identity development and brand strategy, enhance internal communication, and lead external initiatives that support Habbar’s position as a creative leader in advertising.

What software do you use?
icon

I rely on a set of tools that help at every stage of my work: • Adobe Illustrator: for design • Adobe Photoshop: for photo editing • Adobe Premiere: for video editing • Adobe After Effects: for animation and visual effects (VFX) • Adobe Lightroom: for photo color grading • Blender: for 3D design and animation • Adobe Audition: for audio editing • Milanote: for idea organization and project planning • ChatGPT: for everything in life — from planning to thinking and inspiration • Blitzit: for task management and progress tracking
