mopak notebook cover competition


































Whan I saw the competition annonce sheet, I reminded my school days and I thought that it would be joyful to participate to the competition eventhough I have nothing at the end. First of all, I looked at to the web page of MOPAK company, then again the sheet. There was no specific age target, neither sex. So, I decided to illustrate a notebook cover which would be pleased by a teenage girl, a young boy, a little boy but also a little girl...It seems not easy, because each one has a different taste, different style. Also, I realized that the notebook cover would motivate the pupil/student to open it so that she/he wants to work. at least, I wanted that the student shall not be annoyed during the lesson even in history. Because, she/he could look at the faces, add some bears, moustache or glasses or other things that we used to do. Besides, observing the increasion of extremist nationalim in the world pushed me to put the people all around the world. In spite of the media, the world is not consists of some popular countries. If I tell about he technic, I chose oil pastel, because it has a special texture which provides a naif result with bright hues. At the above, you will see the details of the composition.

graphic system



a project for a printing house...I focused on the printing machine, the print colors CMYK. This way the four colours and geometrical century gothic gave life to the work.

my mother and my mother



My mother is a very actif woman. She is not only organising trips and meetings for her friends, but she is also the president of the Association "Turkiye Anneler Dernegi Karsiyaka Subesi" (the association of mother of Turkey, the department of Karsiyaka). She has a childish college girl character but at the same time a republican strong woman...So, I decided to design a stationey for her birthday. I focused on the contrast of powerful dominating woman and the feminin parts of her character.

human right against the homophobia

Hello! I was a bit busy in April, so let roll the projects in May...Well, this poster was designed for the competition of poster by the association KaosGL. The topic was the homophobia through the human rights. Being a dramatical subject, I selected a black background and white characters to have a political, serious references. In addition to this, I analysed the concept; what is the human rights? what is the human? As the poster would be for the meeting of human rights, I composed human profiles looking each other as if they "meet". Then, I profited classical color understanding; each color meets with its contrast. The different colored human profiles gives not only references to the diversity of human kind, but also the flag of LGBT. Besides, each profile include another profile which gives a metaphysical references saying that "each human has got one part from all the other people". The "I" is at the same time "you" and "we"...
