Arshad Mehmood

Concept is just a word, left incomplete so that the meaning behind it cannot be explained even in hours of discussion and yet if the concept for something is clear one does not even need to explain it. I believe in the conceptual evaluation and execution of design. Because simply, ideas are created through concepts and it is only the concept that actually communicate so conclusion is creativity or artistic freedom is like water to oil.
