2 new external stakeholders for the Department of Visual Communication Design!

Aiming to connect students with industry experience

Within the framework of the protocol, it is aimed to connect students with professional industry experience in the fields of brand communication, social media management, digital content production, visual design processes, and creative industries. In line with this collaboration, various workshops, talks, applied training sessions, and project-oriented activities are planned for the upcoming period.
At the same time, the collaboration seeks to provide students with opportunities to closely observe professional workflows, follow current design practices, and gain insight into the functioning of creative industries. The planned activities are expected to contribute to the development of both the technical and creative skills of students.

Supporting a practice-oriented educational approach

Through external stakeholder collaborations carried out by the Department of Visual Communication Design, students are encouraged not only to acquire theoretical knowledge but also to engage directly with professional sector dynamics. Implemented in line with the department’s practice-oriented educational approach, these protocols contribute to students’ experience of creative production processes and their ability to closely follow current industry practices.
Such collaborations are considered important in supporting students’ preparation for professional life after graduation and in establishing a sustainable communication network between academia and the industry.

Contributing to creative production processes

The collaborative work to be carried out with the contributions of Enes Dalgıç, who works in the fields of social media and graphic design within Ithaki Publishing Group, and Melek Gülşen, designer at The Cey Group, is expected to make significant contributions to students’ professional development, portfolio production processes, and industry awareness. By bringing students together with real-world industry experience, the collaboration aims to help them gain a closer understanding of creative production processes and professional workflows.

Aiming to continue new collaborations

As the Faculty of Fine Arts at Istanbul Gelisim University, we would like to thank Enes Dalgıç, Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer at Ithaki Publishing Group, and Melek Gülşen, designer at The Cey Group, for their collaboration with the Department of Visual Communication Design, and we hope that our partnership will continue through productive future projects.
