Visual Communication Design Department

Hello, I'm İrem Delikkaya. I am a 3rd year student of Visual Communication Design Department. Visual Communication Design Department is located in Balat Campus. It is an interdisciplinary art department. We can also think of it as a common art space. In general, our courses are conducted in a practical way. We have theoretical courses such as Art History and Contemporary Art. We can also take elective courses from Graphic Design, Radio and Television. We take courses such as Three-Dimensional Modeling, Web Design, and Animation. In the first year, we mostly have courses in drawing workshops. Since we switch to digital in the 2nd grade, we started to take classes in the computer lab. We also take Applied Studio Photography classes in the newly opened photography studio. After graduating from our department, we have many job opportunities. We can work with agencies, publishing houses, photography, video and design studios. In addition, graduates of this department can become creators and artists. The more you improve yourself in the courses I have mentioned, the more successful you will be in that field. The biggest reason why I chose this department was that I loved taking photos and shooting videos. The second reason was that our department offers a Web Design Course. It was my only choice as I could have all these together in here. The reason why I chose Istanbul Topkapı University was primarily because of its academic staff. In addition, it is in a central location. This is very beneficial for us as our lessons progress in a hands-on way. We are constantly improving ourselves by practicing in the computer lab. After graduation, I want to advance in the field of photography and video. At the same time, I have goals such as being an academician and a photographer. People who love art should prefer this department because we don't just learn programming here. We understand art and the artist and create new designs with our own original ideas. They shouldn't take a step back just because their drawing is bad or they don't know how to use a camera. Here the foundation of everything is laid. Our courses progress more practically, and our exams are received in the form of projects and assignments. If you are willing to do this, you can be successful and creative in every way. I wish success to the candidates who will choose Istanbul Topkapı University Visual Communication Design Department. We will be happy to see you here.
