One of the areas that can play o role in representing identity is relying on images used in packaging. Packaging is an applied art known as essential in contemporary societies and it is present everywhere. Packaging with national and traditional visual components is an important way to create and transfer identity. The necessity of this research is to reach patterns and theoretical viewpoints related to the concept of identity and to focus on recognizing its aspects through the images on the packaging of products for export. On this basis, the present study was conducted to recognize identifying elements used in the packaging of Iranian edible products for export. This basic research is descriptive-analytic in nature.

  • Celebrating Nowruz
    Celebrating Nowruz INFORMATION AND ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN Farishta Murzban Dinshaw Cover Illustration by Farzana Cooper HUKHTA PUBLICATIONS | 2019 Celebrating Nowruz Ten thousand years ago, the Iranian king, Jamshid Peshdadian, started the festival of Nowruz (meaning “new day” in Persian) to celebrate the coming of spring. It symbolized the triumph of good over the evil, as light literally took over the darkness of winter. The coming of spring was especially significant for the farmers in ancient Iran as it heralded warmer weather when farmers could begin sowing their fields and animals gave birth to their offspring. In the modern world, Nowruz is widely celebrated in countries like Azerbaijan, Albania, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, India, Iraq, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China (Xinjiang and other regions), Kosovo, Macedonia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and Northern Caucasus), Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan. In 2010, the General Assembly of the United Nations announced 21 March as the International Day of Nowruz. Nowruz is not a one day celebration. People prepare for it for several weeks, starting with “spring cleaning” their homes. The New Year is welcomed at the exact time when the lengths of the night and day are equal, which is at the Vernal Equinox. As the solar year is 365 days, five hours, 49 minutes and 4 seconds, Nowruz does not fall on the same day each year but moves between March 19th and 22nd in the Gregorian calendar, although traditionally the holiday is on March 21. At the exact moment of the New Year, the oldest person in the family hugs each family member and offers them sweets and gifts of coins.
