Poster Monday: Butterfly Effect

For the last Monday of September we are sharing the poster titled “Butterfly Effect” by Çağdaş İnci, a designer that we had already presented. This poster received second place in the last Zero Waste international poster competition organized by Posterland in Turkey.

Each year, 400 million tons of plastic is produced and 40% of that is single-use – plastic we’ll only use once before it’s binned. The problem is that this and other plastics do not disappear once we dispose of them, but rather, as the poster “Butterfly Effect” proposes, that small action triggers many other actions that are dangerous and harmful to the environment and of course to ourselves for example each year, 100,000 animals in the sea are killed by plastic.

Poster Monday: Flâneur

For the second Poster Monday spot of May we have a poster from Didem Eriskin entitled “Flâneur”. She was born in Izmir, Turkey on November 23, 1994; after finishing her undergraduate studies in Graphic Design, she started her master’s degree in Art and Design. She is currently working as a research assistant at the Department of Graphic Design at Yaşar University and continues to work as a freelancer. Her works generally consist of experimental typography and produce works in the field of kinetic typographic posters.

Flâneur is a word that means “wandering” in French. The poster was designed with reference to the word “Flâneur”. It was used as a typography tool to emphasize the word meaning of Flâneur, Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s book called Das Passagen Werk. The impression of stepping is designed to give letters and words the feeling of walking. The images used in the poster make you feel the meaning of the word. When we look at the poster, we both read the word Flâneur and see the steps as if there are people wandering around.

Poster Monday:”Plastic Free”

For this monday we present the poster “Plastic Free” that comes from Turkey and is the work of the young designer Ece Batur, that studies at Yeditepe University. “My primary purpose in making this poster was making people recognize how dangerous the situation is, but people almost see the case as a joke. So I try to create a naive, almost feels like I children book illustrator style poster to make people realize even if we build this ignorant way of living and ignoring the real facts, they are still there, they are still severe” says Ece.

This poster, unfortunately, inspired from the mess as we humans did to our oceans. Plastic use is widespread in our society. We use plastic for everything; we drink through it, we pack our foods, cosmetics, clothes shortly everything. Really are these all necessary? We have to ask. Oceans are like our lungs with all the seaweeds. They contain so many wildlife and we have no right to destroy their home. We ignore the facts our mother nature, so desperately tries to show. We all have to remember that it is not just their home; it is also ours, and it is our responsibility to protect it. It is time to stop using plastic and protect our world from its much harm. We need a plastic-free world!

He always painting and sketching since his childhood. Kadir studied in Mimar Sinan Fine Art University later as an exchange student took classes from Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. “The time I spend in Krakow, the Polish art, design and culture impressed me a lot and made me deeply curious on printmaking. Since these days, still keep making printmaking and posters” says Kadir.

The poster was made for a linocut workshop which has been organized by an Istanbul based artist collective, HÖNK which also I am in. As HÖNK collective, we have decided to make a poster that indicates all needed information like time, place and partners. And also the participants are architecture students who didn’t try printmaking before. For this reason, I choose a clear approach on poster to show the effect and texture of linocut print. After sketches and finding the idea, I finalized the poster digitally.

The poster is the result of an invitation to create a gig poster for Dream Gigs Illustrated Project curated by In Hoodies and Manyetik Bant, Dream Gigs Illustrated is a series of gig posters. Imaginary gigs that never happened, missed gigs because of time and place, gigs that are experienced first-hand and have left their mark.  “First I discovered Tame Impala when I saw amazing animation music video to the song named “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”. I remember that I listen to this song again and again and it hooked me up. Then I listen to their whole discography, previous songs and albums. It was trippy, hypnotizing and blow my mind and I got addicted by them for a while. From this point I tried to express and illustrate my feelings on this poster. The LSD on the tongue resembling vinyl guides you to the parallel universe painted in psychedelic colors with its music. Wishing to see this group, which never came to Turkey, I imagine them playing at Zorlu PSM Studio stage with its powerful sound system and interesting stage design” says Carilla.

Poster Monday: Being Woman

For the first Monday of October we present the poster “Being Woman” that comes from Turkey and is the work of the young designer Ece Batur, he studies at Yeditepe University. “I want to share my thought-through design and this so important for me. In my opinion, making posters is something both artistic and social and also useful if you want to be a voice for the ones who needed. I feel powerful and valuable at the same time when I make posters. The thought of bringing together things that I care for and like to do is so sacred for me” says Ece.

The main idea of the poster “Being Woman” is symbolize two different aspects of the advertising industry; the first is that advertising is dominated by usually males and old perceptions are still very popular about women in daily life a woman has in the commercials, the second one is: The woman in pop culture that we can barely identifies the real shape of itself. It almost like the advertising industry shaped us and gave as the original shapes we must fit, and that’s why there is a vast comma that symbolizes male perception in advertising industry which forms the woman and gives the roles that they thought women should play. It feels like advertisements shapes target audience but not the audience itself. They made us believe this is normal and even if they act as they care about equality and gender roles in the society there is always a but or a comma comes after that they show their real face. Also, there is a script title like writing which represents script and roles they gave us to play in daily life, which has a massive effect on our society’s subconscious. “I designed a poster which has a woman figure at the background, but we can’t see her genitalia because of an enormous comma which represents the advertising industry which is dominated by men. The comma is symbolizing the advertising industries. That’s why the comma looks like male genitalia”.

Poster Monday: 100

For this week we are featuring a poster designed by Sirin Doga Ozsoyler entitled “100”. Sirin studying graphic design in Yeditepe University and also do a minor in computer engineering. She wants to be computer game designer in the future.

The concept of the “100” poster is to commemorate the centennial anniversary of May 19, 1919 in Turkey. This day is really important because the War of Independence of Turkey begins. It means a new beginning, resistance and the rebirth of this nation. In 1919, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk arrived in Samsun with naval force. This rope as a marine object symbolizes the arrival to Samsun. “I think my poster provides a new perspective on this subject. From what I see most of the posters are generally simple and uniform. I tried to put a different point of view “says Sirin.

Poster Monday: “Protect Yourself from Breast Cancer”

October’s first poster spot is titled, “Protect Yourself from Breast Cancer”. The work was created by Didem Çatal, a graphic designer from Turkey. She was born in Denizli, Turkey, and graduated from Hacettepe University Graphic Art Major. She completed her Masters at Hacettepe University, Institute of Social Sciences.  Didem is also the head of the Graphic Design Department of Fine Arts Faculty of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University.  She participated in various personal and mixed exhibitions, both national and international, such as; “Whisper on the Moon” in Casa Bianca Gallery, Thessaloniki, Greece – 2016, “Multiple Personality” in Konstutstallning i Galleri Flygeln, Stockholm, Sweden –2011, Digital Illustration and Graphic Design Exhibition in Manas University, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Poster Exhibition, Korfmann, Çanakkale, Turkey. She participated as a jury member in national and international competitions and is a member of GMYK, Istanbul Exlibris Association and C-IDEA .

Breast cancer is the second most common death in women. “I designed this poster to draw attention to the type of cancer among women and to raise awareness. For this purpose, I wanted to use a women’s attire, the bra. This bra for our breasts which we use almost everyday, made me think about the cancer that might have grasped our breasts. Designing the bra as a mask created two kinds of perception. One of which is a monster that might have infested breasts, and the other is the Batman, who can overcome any obstacle. What this poster tries to communicate is that if you diagnose early, you can defeat this relentless disease and you can become your own hero. Or if you ignore it, you will fall victim to this relentless monster” says Didem.

Poster Monday: SALE

This Poster Monday spot goes to Gizem Candan from Turkey for her poster “SALE”, an invitation to think about one of the biggest challenges the world faces today, Consumerism. Purchasing is the best example of humanity’s greed. But actually we don’t buy things. We buy how things make us feel… the ‘SALE’ poster addresses this problem. “I always think that why do we over-consume?’ And then I decided to create a poster to increase awareness. ‘SALE’ as a word, is a short and clear way to express consumption. Also I used a flocking of flies on my poster to describe people in shopping. From my perspective, I think we artists create awareness with these kinds of posters and I am happy to be a part of this” says Gizem.
