About the Department

Graphic Design Education is at the intersection of communication, art, and design. Graphic Design rises the esthetic qualities with its artistic approach, and it needs to set a proper communication as well. Our students first gain the ability to see and perceive with this artistic point of view. During their education, students learn various methods and techniques in order to bring words, symbols, and images together to represent the visual expressions of thoughts and posts, and form new formats. The Department trains designers that are in harmony with the dynamic nature of our age. They are aesthetically and technically equipped with the ability to produce creative thinking and be confident, prepared in accordance with the contemporary requirements in areas such as product logos, envelopes, business cards, files, packaging designs, box designs, posters, interior designs, open air adverts, flyers, catalogs, corporate identities, brand positioning, web design, photos, print pictures and illustrations.
