I made some wallpapers from the unexpected photo shoot’s pictures with d200 last week.
Sorry to have one resolution only, 1680×1050 wide. Maybe it is time to open a goodies section on my site so that
I can prepare wallpapers at different resolutions.. Working on it, meanwhile take these for your 20″ nice wide monitors..
Btw, I tried some logo sketch on them for guranification, well it is not finished but pretty close to what is in my mind.
Hehe, I like unicorns, in great respect to my favourite movie Blade Runner.

Hi to all, I finally gave my graduation project at school this term with a pleasant B. That is an awesome thing for me, although there are a few unimportant classes left to take to finish the school completely, it doesn’t really matters. I succeeded the hardest part. Unfortunately I had a very small amount of time to spend working on this project, so a B is a very satisfactory grade for me.
The subject was game design, my game was a modernization on the traditional theatrical Turkish shadow-play widely known as Karagöz.  I tried to give the characters a new look and make them playable in today’s computer games world. I will convert the project to a web optimized and browser compatible format soon,  and then post a detailed explanation using my graduation thesis on the subject.

Btw,  “Güldürüklü Temaşa” means “Funny Show” or “a Show with Laughter” in old Turkish spoken during the Ottoman Empire era. The origin of the game comes from the very beginning of the empire, like 1300s. Small 2D puppets, in size of a hand, made of camel leather, reflected to a half transparent paper curtain by shivering brightish candle lights , the play can be stated as an ancestor to today’s multimedia environment.

Here are some screenshots from the gameplay screens for now..

This is an advertising media rental firm in Istanbul operating on mass transportation. They are renting different media from printed posters to closed circuit kiosk-like LCD panels. My goal was merging these analogue and digital media in logotype, providing clues with colors of RGB and usage of pixel typography combined with classic rounded fonts. The project is discontinued because of copyright issues with the firm’s name later.

Also I tried to make the identity I created continue on the firm’s website with the elements I mentioned above. The whole project was made under my supervision as an art director in Ideacr, a small new media agency located in Istanbul during last summer.

This was a logotype I made last year. The project was an e-commerce site selling goods directly from the stocks, not from resellers.

Here is a corporate ideantity I made the concept and graphical design for a small language consulting firm belonging to an old friend of mine.
 

Hospiteye was the name I suggested and designed a corporate id sketch for a medical eye center in Istanbul. The company than turned out for the name Anatolia Eye Center, which is current website is also designed by me. In the near future the website will be updated to version 2.0, probably with my new 1-page oriented design recommendation.

I decided to use Adobe Illustrator a while ago as Adobe has declared discontinuing Macromedia Freehand MX.

Here is my first sketch in Illustrator.

Corporate identity I designed for holiday residency blocks under construction in Bodrum, Turkey. The type contains properties referring to architectural elements of typical house designs in the area. Also the colors used are observed from typical landmark plants combined with the seaview.

Here are some e-cards i designed a couple of years ago while I was working with Nexum Creative, Istanbul. The subject was mostly a religious ritual where sheep are sacrificed :).

The last one is about Valentine’s Day.

Experimenting with those pictogram characters..

Some stuff for school again. The subject is designing some pictograms for subway stations.

I focused on stairs by trying to tell with different shapes than usual.

Some pattern experiment I made for school. The assignment was to stilize a selected animal form and to make a wallpaper pattern with it.
