YAZILAR

Layout design + Typesetting

The Brief: "Re-design and consolidate four issues of Yazılar, a Turkish graphic design magazine, into a single volume, ensuring excellent legibility and typographic configuration."

The Idea: I was sure the consolidated magazine should be aesthetically cohesive, yet I also wanted the design of each individual article's layout to reflect its unique content. Thus, I created a custom grid system for each separate articles and chose a contemporary, yet sophisticated, typographic voice for the entire publication.

The Product: A printed 35-page magazine that offers readers an effortless reading experience thanks to thoughtful typesetting, subtle design decisions and typographic details.

ABRIL

Type Specimen

The Brief: "Create a type specimen to showcase a font family"

The Idea: Inspired by playing cards, I thought the color scheme and aesthetic features traditionally associated with playing cards would complement Abril's forms and character.

The Product: A set of 24 cards (3x the size of standard cards) + product box displaying Abril's unique font family, including numbers and glyphs.

VINYL

Album Design

The Brief: "Design a series of potential album covers for an up-and-coming artist with a minimalist aesthetic."

The Idea: Inspired by both Braille and hazard color codes, I stuck to primary colors and modular graphics.

The Product: A dozen potential designs with an edgy, yet minimalist, aesthetic.
