eksiyirmidort is a magazine that Journalism students at Bilgi University was trying to conceive. Seeing their need for a designer / art director, I offered my help. In turn, I got free rein on the visual aspect. First two issues came out beautifully.
The project included brand identity, print layout and web design.Graphic Design, Art Direction, Print Design2011 -
Identity, stationery and advertising for Ekin Kocluk, a life coaching and consultancy firm based in Istanbul. The project also had a web component which can be found under Ekin Kocluk - Web name on this portfolio.
The client wanted a welcoming, warm identity with nature references to appeal younger mothers. The client specializes in family coaching and student coaching, so the visuals had to have a virile, life-giving and positive vibe to them. After designing the logo, I worked on the full identity set and branding. Besides designing the starter flyer set shown here, I still do their occasional advertising, invitations and info flyers.
I finalized the rebranding effort with design & development of a custom Wordpress theme for their website.Graphic Design, Web Design, Web Development2012 -

I discovered this gem of a photo when I was shuffling through NASA photo archives. This is a photo of planet Jupiter, and the big circular shaped object in the middle is called "Great Red Spot" or in the more poetical way of speaking, "The Eye of Jupiter". It is a permanent, fixed storm roughly a little bigger than Earth. I slaved a lot of time for post-processing, because as like any of NASA photos it's made to be scientifically accurate rather than beautiful. I had to carve contrast, shadows, highlights and color out of a scientific photo - luckily it was an awesome quality raw image, it did not deteriorate at all. I added several things: a quote from Leonardo da Vinci (one of my all-time favorites) and a volume-wise accurate model of the Solar System with all the planets. Even everyone's favorite planet Pluto is included. (check the "t" of Jupiter, and I am aware that Pluto is declassified as a planet.) It reminds me of palette of one of the Old Masters of Renaissance rather than a planet - A subtle suggestion of that our sense of beauty evolved from nature, and looking into nature we see our idea of beauty rather than nature itself. After all, the precise fact that we are biased observers is what makes us human. Or so I think.Graphic Design2012 -

I have been assigned to design the "1940's" part of the exhibition "Istanbul 1910-2010" in santralistanbul. I have produced maps, panels (can be seen on the photo) and infographics for the exhibition, and finally, a centerpiece. 26m x 4m, it was created to control the second floor, and could be seen from all of the half-rooms.
The leftmost map inside the panel is used for color-coding coordinates and extend of the view. The area colored circle covers is the viewing area of the color-coded photo. For example, the first image is marked white - corresponds to the white circle on the leftmost map.
I had to do extensive repair on the map.
The rightmost blank circle contained an interactive screen which you could browse the photos.Graphic Design, Exhibition Design, Art Direction2012 -
You'll have to scroll down a bit. Nice research idea by the way, it works brilliantly - Why use a broom to meter economy when you can use a more common object? Tradition, probably.Graphic Design2012 -

I almost with medicine advertising wasn't forbidden here in Turkey. Such a loss for free market, I guess. By the way the lines look crooked inwards because of an optical illusion, but in reality (ah, insert epistemologic debate here) they are straight.Graphic Design2012
