Graphic Design Department

Hello, I'm Cihan Karakaya. I am a 4th year student at Istanbul Topkapı University, Department of Graphic Design. In the Graphic Design Department, courses such as Character Design, Game Design, Photoshop and Illustrator are offered. There are workshops that we use for applied courses. In particular, one of our most used workshops is the printmaking workshop. We can also have some of the applied courses in computer labs. In the Graphic Design Department, we have a compulsory internship application in the 7th semester. After graduation, we have the opportunity to work in the private sector and we can work in places such as creative studios. I chose this department because I very much like communicating with people, and the easiest way to tell people what I want to say for me is to convey them both typographically and visually. I decided to choose Istanbul Topkapı University when I heard about the opportunities provided. For example, Balat Campus is one of the most historical places in Istanbul and has a very large cultural influence. This played a very important role in my preferences. The quality of our university's academic staff and their open communication with students are the biggest benefits I get from here. After graduation, I want to work in a big agency and gain experience, and then I want to establish my own brand and enter the sector. I recommend Istanbul Topkapı University, Department of Graphic Design to students who trust their creativity and understanding of design and like to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. I wish success to students who will choose Istanbul Topkapı University, Department of Graphic Design. We are happy to see you all here.
