  1. Hello! I am Serdar Tepekule, a freelance graphic designer based

    in Izmir, Turkey. I graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked on various design projects for multiple clients, including fintech startups and worldwide e-commerce companies. Building an identity is not only about graphics; it also requires a set of intelligent design decisions. Thus, I enjoy creating brand identities with a solid foundation that is easy to build and maintain. Such a task requires merging coding and graphic design, which is a passion of mine. While coding was not a significant part of my college education, my self-interest has helped me develop my coding skills and integrate them with graphic design. Understanding both domains is crucial for e ective communication with people from di erent backgrounds and, more importantly, for completing a project from start to finish. I would like to collaborate on any design project that I can learn from and contribute to. My primary focus is on branding, UI/UX design, and prototyping projects. PORTFOLIO — 2023 | 01.

    - MSFAU SIS University life is already challenging for students. With this idea in mind, I designed an easy-to-understand and action-oriented application layout that makes a positive first impression. Additionally, I created a set of rounded and legible icons to guide the end user correctly toward their intended purpose. Illustrations were included to convey the essence of a fine arts university and make students feel at home. IDEA & APPROACH

  7. I aimed to design a logotype that can fit anywhere,

    much like the Hausebox furniture system. As a result of this idea, I modified the main typography by rounding the stems to make it resemble and function as a furniture skeleton. The le er 'B' represents the side of a sofa, making the logotype more closely related to the company’s work in the furniture industry. IDEA & APPROACH PORTFOLIO — 2023 | 02.

  9. Growing a plant is an adventure from germination to harvest.

    However, the most fragile time for a plant is the seeding stage. I designed a logo inspired by that aspect, making it look like a person with open arms during its seeding stage, welcoming new home growers. The color pink comes from the mixture of grow light’s blue, red, and UV LEDs. IDEA & APPROACH PORTFOLIO — 2023 | 02. SELECTED PROJECTS - NADAS GROW SYSTEMS 27 / 60

    this, I created an emblem that resembles the le ers 'B' and 'M', inspired by this intersection.
