In fact, Iranian graphic designers have always taken advantage of the mentioned visual elements in their works depending on the theme under consideration. Since the Islamic motifs are rich in terms of decorative aspects and visual potentials, nearly all works of the Iranian graphic designers have been influenced by them. In fact, numerous cases of such impressions can be shown. In this respect, Mostafa Oji is among the contemporary Iranian graphic designers whose works have been strongly influenced or inspired by Islamic motifs. In this research, aiming to study the extent to which the works of Oji have been under the influence of the Islamic motifs, his signs have been analyzed descriptively. Data were gathered based on library sources and on certain signs of Oji. The way, and to what extent, the Islamic motifs have influenced Oji’s works, have been addressed in this research.    %U https://paykareh.scu.ac.ir/article_14507_885afb2b3708af25f2a99799dcc5bf3c.pdf
