Graphic Design undertakes visual communication in many areas, from traditional production methods using paper, paint and printing systems to digital production methods such as mobile interface design, motion graphics, photo manipulations, game designs, web design, social media designs. As a visual communication method, Graphic Design combines the visual culture accumulation inherited from art history with rapidly developing technological opportunities and the universal communication power inherent in it. Graphic Design assumes an effective and strategic role in shaping social life styles with its power to directly communicate social changes in a universal sense. In addition, graphic design, which is an effective visual communication tool where art and technology combine with creativity, is an important component of sectors in the promotion of their products and services. For this reason, sectors need qualified graphic designers.

In this context, our department, which aims to train original designers who can combine aesthetic sensitivity and visual culture with creativity, has adopted a multi-faceted education program that deeply addresses this profession from a theoretical perspective, with courses such as illustration, typography, desktop publishing, web/mobile interface design, packaging design, interactive design, as well as traditional practices such as pattern and printmaking, and design history, law, aesthetics and philosophy of art. During the graphic design education, our students carry out creative projects in large and spacious laboratories, studios and classrooms equipped with a technological infrastructure suitable for the purpose of education, together with a rich staff specialized in the applied and theoretical fields of various design disciplines. In addition, they prepare for business life by establishing close relations with the sector through their internship experiences, thus becoming qualified designers who are needed in universal standards.

Education and training are provided in the form of formal, open or distance education. In addition, practical training is provided in computer laboratories and workshops within university institutions.
