Friday Sermon Poster: Markaz Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak

Poster for Markaz Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak

Markaz Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak in South London hosts a weekly Friday sermon that serves as a spiritual anchor for the local community. The centre approached us to design a poster that would not only announce the event but also capture the welcoming, uplifting atmosphere that regular attendees experience. Our goal was to help the Markaz stand out in a crowded digital space while staying true to its identity.

Design Intent & Community Focus

The brief called for a design that would resonate with both long-term members and newcomers. We selected a sunset mosque scene to evoke a sense of tranquility and anticipation, and used clear, bold typography for essential details. This approach reflects our broader philosophy on community-centered design—making information accessible while reinforcing the values of the organization.

What Made This Project Unique?

• Poster needed to be highly shareable on WhatsApp and Telegram, requiring careful attention to sizing and contrast
• Client requested a “brothers only” note, which we integrated without disrupting the visual harmony
• We drew inspiration from our previous Islamic event posters, but tailored the mood and color palette for a London audience

Results & Reflections

The poster contributed to increased attendance and positive feedback from both organizers and participants. It also sparked interest from other local masajid seeking to modernize their outreach materials. For more on effective event promotion, see our article Does Your Brand Lack Identity on Social Media?
