Stilbaz Crew
(International Graffiti Crew)
2016
[Bio/ENG]
Graphic designer, type designer, visual communication designer, graffiti artist (born in 1985, Mersin, Turkey). Since elementary school, he has been fascinated by letterforms, discovering that shaping letters was more enjoyable than merely writing them. This passion for letters, which began in school, found its way onto school walls and eventually into the streets.
At the age of 14, he encountered graffiti art and became one of the founding members of Stilbaz Crew, which featured graffiti artists from Turkey and abroad. He was active between 1999 and 2014, releasing a limited edition project titled "street hat" in 2010 as he focused on developing his unique style.
In 2011, he took calligraphy lessons from Ethem Çalışkan, where discussions on letter weights, rhythm, and calligraphy captivated his interest. Guided by his mentor and friends, he took the entrance exams for the Graphic Design department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.
In 2012, he was accepted into the Graphic Design department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. Throughout his university years, he combined design practices like typography, basic design, and editorial design with his past experiences, addressing the visual communication needs of Turkey's culture and art sector. Until his graduation in 2017, with honors and as the top of his class, he studied under prominent designers such as Bülent Erkmen, Emre Senan, Haluk Tuncay, Sadık Karamustafa, Uğurcan Ataoğlu, Ayşegül İzer, Esen Karol, Yeşim Demir Pröhl, Burcu Dündar Veener, and Sinan Niyazioğlu.
In 2015, he brought his diploma project on type design to life by launching the Informal Type Foundry website in 2017. Later that year, he co-founded the visual communication design studio Informal Project with Gökçe Genç. Focusing primarily on the communication needs of the culture and art sector, he continues to live and work in Istanbul, engaging in both solo and studio projects.
[Bio/TR]
Grafik tasarımcı, yazı tipi tasarımcısı, görsel iletişim tasarımcı, graffiti sanatçısı (1985 /Mersin,Türkiye). İlkokul yıllarından itibaren harf biçimlerine ilgi duymaya başlayan tasarımcı harfleri yazmaktansa onlara şekil vermenin daha eğlenceli olduğunu keşfetti. Okul sıralarında başlayan harf tutkusu okul duvarlarına ve oradanda sokaklara taştı.
14 yaşında graffiti sanatıyla tanıştı. Türkiye’den ve yurtdışından graffiti sanatçılarının yer aldığı Stilbaz Crew’in kurucu üyelerinden oldu. Aktif olarak 1999-2014 yılları arasında çalışmalar yaptı. 2010 yılında kendi stilinin gelişimine odaklandığı “street hat” adından limitli bir edisyon çıkarttı.
2011 yılında Ethem Çalışkan'dan kaligrafi dersleri aldı, harf ağırlıkları, ritim ve kaligrafi üzerine olan konuşmalar ilgisi çekti. Hocasının ve arkadaşlarının yönlendirmeleriyle Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi Grafik Tasarım bölümü sınavlarına girdi.
2012 yılında Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi, Grafik tasarım bölümünü kazandı. Üniversite öğrencilik yıllarında aldığı tipografi, temel tasarım, editoryal tasarım gibi tasarım pratiklerini, geçmişte edindiği deneyimlerle birlikte harmanlayarak Türkiye’deki kültür sanat sektörünün görsel iletişim ihtiyaçlarına yansıtmayı başardı. Onur derecesi ve bölüm birinciliğiyle mezun olduğu 2017 yılına kadar Bülent Erkmen, Emre Senan, Haluk Tuncay, Sadık Karamustafa, Uğurcan Ataoğlu, Ayşegül İzer, Esen Karol, Yeşim Demir Pröhl, Burcu Dündar Veener, Sinan Niyazioğlu gibi tasarımcılardan teorik ve teknik dersler aldı.
2015 yılında yazı tipi tasarımları üzerine olan diploma projesini 2017 yılında açtığı informal type foundry web sitesiyle hayata geçirdi. Aynı yılın sonlarında Gökçe Genç'le birlikte Görsel iletişim tasarım stüdyosu olan Informal Project'in kurucu ortağı oldu. Ağırlıklı olarak kültür ve sanat sektörünün iletişim ihtiyaçlarına odaklanan tasarımcı halen Istanbul'da yaşamakta solo ve stüdyo bünyesinde çalışmalarına devam etmektedir.
