Course Content
In all aspects of graphic design application areas, the design problem is also put forward; the problem includes project design, development and implementation. Studies based on developing new graphic problem definitions and producing different graphic solutions are carried out. Art, artist, work of art, style in art, original creative thinking and its features are examined. Poster in graphic design is examined in every aspect.
Objectives of the Course
The student is asked to develop a graphic design problem, to investigate the problem, to develop a roadmap, to design and to implement it. The project aims to defend and present the concept, product and media planning. Methods of finding creative ideas are investigated. In an experimental environment whose boundaries are extended, the student tries to develop the ability of thinking, researching, understanding and defining communication problems, finding effective ideas for solution and expressing ideas in visual methods.
