Abstract

This research explores the impact of graphic treatments on traditional handicrafts in the digital era and how these visual techniques can contribute to preserving Egypt’s cultural identity. The study highlights the importance of reviving and visually documenting traditional crafts through modern graphic design approaches that align with contemporary digital trends while maintaining their original character. It reviews the evolution of Egyptian handicrafts across different historical periods and examines how integrating these elements in modern designs can promote cultural continuity and national belonging. Graphic design is presented as an effective tool for cultural documentation, strengthening identity, and connecting the past with the spirit of the present and future.
