Department of Visual Communication Design

Hello, friends. My name is Burak Karabay. I'm a first-year student at Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University Faculty of Fine Arts Visual Communication Design Department. Our department is established to train students in order to turn them into qualified employees in the media and desktop publishing sectors. It is located in Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University Esenboga Complex. Teaching in our department starts with Basic Design and Drawing courses so that we can fully understand and acquire the ability to draw in the first years. Then, we are offered Art History and Introduction to Visual Communication courses. In the following years, we work in more virtual environments; drawings via computer, packaging designs, artistic philosophy... In other words, in general, it is divided into theoretical and practical courses. In addition to theoretical courses, we have workshops to ensure the study our practical courses. We have photography, computer and drawing workshops. We also have workshops that we can use to spend time apart from classes. The professional diversity of our department is quite extensive. It can provide job opportunities in most places, but mostly in media sector. It offers us many opportunities in television, advertising, cinema, animation, game production, packaging design, art direction sectors, art philosophy or faculty membership at universities. I chose the department because I was interested in. After I graduated from this department, I thought I'd be happy with what I do, and I believed it could provide me good opportunities, that's why I'm here. One of the most important factors in choosing Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University is that this department is not available at most of the universities. I was also attracted to the location because Ankara is a big city. There is a misbelief that only students with drawing talent should choose this department. Since the faculty members help us, all of the students can overcome this. So, we mostly benefit here our teaching staff. And since we are provided so many opportunities, there are many options we can choose. Therefore, I want to keep moving forward and specializing in the place that suits me best based on my interest and my talent. My first suggestion to candidates who will prefer our university and department is that they should prefer if they are interested in this department and the sector. It's better for them. If they're interested in art and if they are confident with their creativity, they should definitely come. I wish success to all friends who will come to our university.
