Course Content

Within the scope of the course, students work practically in groups on interdisciplinary projects.The process includes steps such as project research, concept development, project implementation and communication strategies.The course includes design workshops on contemporary issues. Students are expected to realise a concrete and feasible project at the end. The use of experimental methods in design is encouraged. Students define, ideate, structure, prototype, develop and analyse their projects.

Objectives of the Course

The programs associated with the graphic design program aim to create a new domain by using interdisciplinary methods. These domains enable students to create awareness and produce original projects. It is aimed that students create sustainable designs by producing projects that are compatible with fields such as Architecture, Industrial Design, Communication Design, Traditional Turkish Arts.
