About Me
- umututku
- I’m from Istanbul, Turkey. When I began my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of graphic design courses, all of which tended to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in graphic design. I have also had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the graphic design department, and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective in advertisement about the world, which we face, everyday. After 4 years well-served education, I had graduated in 2006 from Fine Arts Graphic Design Department of Beykent University. Since then I have been working in different jobs such as; advertising agency, photograph studio, and Municipality of Istanbul on web-based projects as a graphic designer. After graduated from University of Westminster, Ma Design for Communication. I started to work as a freelance graphic designer in London.

Brief
Authorship and Collections
The role of the designer is expanding constantly as visual communicator, publisher, author, collaborator, innovator and at times artist. Many designers continue to seek the need to have their own voice, reflect personal interest and develop self initiated or set funded projects. We see designers as authors and publishers, ‘Jonathan Barnbrook’ and ‘We are what we do’ (changing the world from 9-5), to name just two.
For many designers, references, ideas and directions come from personal collects of ‘Stuff’. These collections often feed commercial work and are developed to reflect particular interests, a voice, a way of seeing and a point of view. The development of personal collections are not exclusive to the designer, many artists, filmmakers and designers build personal collections as a form of personal escapism, reflect cultural backgrounds or show a particular interest. Designers have historically been collected ephemeral objects and been interested in memorabilia and memorable people or times.
You are being asked to research examples of design authorship and through these examples examine the routes, choices and directions individual projects take to realize the project. You will need to prepare a presentation on your chosen examples. Additionally you are also asked to start to develop your own personal collection to reflect your interests and view point.
Presentations should be prepare as a Powerpoint Presentation.
Presentations should run for 20mins on Friday 7th December
Powerpoints should be handed in on a CD
A written report of 750-1000 should be prepared and published on your blog.
