Hello Umut, <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us how you got started as an grafik designer. What drew you into illustrations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a chance to work as an intern in a small design studio back in 2005. After 1 month they asked me to work for them and I said sure. I quit school and started to work there. At that time I mostly designed posters and book covers for the non-profit organizations. I was drawing illustrations at my spare time but I never considered it as a job. It was only my hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are the people who have influenced your aesthetics and your approach to design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legends like Saul Bass, Milton Glaser, Yossi Lemel, Oded Ezer. Their work was great but it was not the finished product that I admire. It was the process. How they took a complicated problem and solved it. Simple yet powerful. This has to be the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 What is the most challenging part of graphic design work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start! Blank paper is the most frightening thing for me but it also gives you limitless possibilites. After you start that anxiety slowly fades away joy takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you tell me the story about the poster \u201eBerghain\u201c for KULABERLIN. How did you come up with this poster?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creator of this series is Okan. We had a discussion about this last year but we couldn’t had a chance to start. He gave me insights about the spots in Berlin and the goal was combine these spots with the florals. When he first told me about the Berghain I thought it was brilliant and we did what you see here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your idea of having a good life? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting paid for doing what you like and spending that with your friends.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are curios of the next project. Thank you for your time, Umut! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
