You can follow the process of creating corporate identity from my “corp.id” page on top. Enjoy.


My most beloved friend Ipek El is conquering t-shirt design world! Provocative designs and sharp tongue of Ipek, great combination. Good luck with everything Ipek. Woman, you will be death of me – seriously – I’m trying to live up to the image of the brand and get super skinny.

I thought it might be useful. Has styleguides, manuals and documantation of how to create corporate identity. Use and enjoy!


I’m back from New York and back to the blog. Before talking about all this, I have to share the new project me and my colleagues are starting. Creating pseudo corporate identity. I think if we are doing such a thing it should be useful at the end.

Well, I have been thinking about opening an art space in Istanbul for a while. New York in that case inspired me a lot. A space probably a loft for underground artists and art students for installations and parties. Well Istanbul needs that, even though it would bring me no profits in fact I might go broke, I think Istanbul is in dire need.

I know I had to come up with 3 ideas but I have been so blinded by the thoughts of this art space. I would love to create the corporate identity (damn son! this is not a corporate!) of this art space. Please consider!

Sayounara!


Finally my final exams are over!

I saw this video posted on facebook. Amazing creatures ants. You know I posted “inspirations from nature and the smallest things”. Well this is one of these things where nature amazes me. These figures should be used in some kind of art form. Reminded me of Lord of the Rings sets.

Scientists fill the ant caves with concrete and then dig for the result.

Here is a screenshot of my desktop taken at THIS moment! I’m going to NYC for the whole summer internship. Very excited and not even slightly ready. I still have two final projects to go that’s why I wasn’t able to send any posts. Missed the blog.


boundary

30May09

This is the project of Erkin, about boundaries, and he wanted to appear in the photo. So I stepped up and did the photography and lightings. This is the unedited version.

PS. It was very fun watching my ex-boyfriend getting drinks thrown on his face three times and having the advantage of documenting it.


I saw the news on the New York Times. Last year Polaroid factory was closed and devastated the fans. Now in Netherlands a small group of Dutch scientists have dedicated themselves to the task of reinventing Polaroid’s instant film. We grew up with polaroid and loved to see desaturated and cozy results in a few seconds. I hope it works. (For further information click here.)

New York-based portrait photographer Alexander Berg made a project with his beloved polariods called “one shot” using only one polaroid film and just on shot to portrait people at three cities: New York, Beijing, Istanbul.


Unfortunately this is a late post about this event. On may 28, Parsons graduates presented their debut collections. But check out their website and look at the young talented designers! http://theundergroundrunway.com/

taupe

“Taupe is a convergence of art for art’s sake, and art as consumable product”  they call themselves, designers Mark Keeler and Victor Alejandro Aguilar. Minimal yet full designs, very inspirational. Here are some graphic designs of Taupe:
