vectorel izmir clock tower



As I live in Izmir and I like it, I made for myself a vectorel stylisation of the symbol of the city ; the clock tower at the centre of the city which comes from Ottoman period. Being really in the centre of the city, or in the "heart", I focused on the urban colors of Izmir. As it i s a sunny city, it has a light values like grayish whites, pales grayish blues, ocre-beige, yellow, yellowish gray...You see, the profile of the city claims so much grayish tones because of over urbanisation having less place for the parks and gardens...

condom party !


A warming including the ideas of "yougness" and "party", so there is a special satirical approach on the topic of "AIDS" . The poster was commanded by a friend; Pinar Haznedar, who is a student in the University of Ankara, at the department of Medecine and who is also one of the organiser of the party. The goal is to attract the students in the department buildings and inviting to party but also to make understand the importance of the condom. So the idea is to express basicaly the mesage in a lovely, hiding a tension way.


creet night




Here is a vectorial illustration example of mine that I designed for my cousine’s conceptual party named "crete night" where it would have the dansers from Chios Island, crete cuisine sponsored by the governorship of Chios, the municipality of Konak, Izmir and "Sakız Adası" café.As you see, I focused on crete archaic danser form and the typical identical colors of greek culture : the tones of Mediterranean blue and white. As it would be an elegant party contrasting to local dance, I reached a solution styling the archaic dancer, the curves referring to the waves and curtains of the show. The pure, clean texture of vectored illustration gained an refined impression. Using in the archaic-vectorial dancer in bicolor comes rom the greek vases where black and white have been used frequently with foreground, background relationship. Also, a black form gives reference to the night, if not, the combination of blue-white would be too day-like. In addition, a black form provides an attraction towards the light tones.

Also, there is the ticket of the night again by the same system ; greek vectoral style giving references to the sea. Instead of typing a greek based character, I chose again helvetica combining harmoniously with the pure, vectorel layout.
