Saleh Bayrami was a respected graphic designer with an impressive background in journalism. He spent years shaping the visual language of major publications such as Andisheh Pouya, collaborated with National Geographic, and taught at the Inverse School of Graphic Design. To his colleagues, Saleh was more than just a designer—he was a quiet, creative force known for his kindness, humility, and deep sense of professionalism.
On the morning of Sunday, June 16, Saleh left home early for a meeting in Tajrish. On his way back, he stopped at a red light in Quds Square—just an ordinary citizen, waiting like anyone else. A friend later wrote that he had just finished a routine work meeting when the Israeli attack struck, targeting civilians who had simply paused at a traffic light. Saleh is no longer with us, but he lives on—not only in the pages of magazines and graphic archives, but also in the hearts of his friends, family, students, and colleagues.
