CIGDEM AYDOGAN PORTFOLIO / GRAPHIC DESIGN
DO WHAT YOU LOVE
I have always been passionate about creating something new my whole life. It is far more than just something that has to appeal to the eye. Every piece of art and creation has its own story. It is another way of communication and sending messages to several people. So this is what i love to do. It is my pleasure to show you some of my creations on the following pages.

„FEMINISM IS NOT JUST A DIRTY WORD. IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HATE MEN, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HATE GIRLS THAT HAVE NICE LEGS AND A TAN, AND IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A BITCH OR A DYKE. IT MEANS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN EQUALITY-“ KATE NASH 06
BRANDING
This one was a group project. It was our job to create a product and think about ways to make this product attractive to customers.
THE PROMISE TO YOUR CUSTOMER
Our product was conspicuous and eye-catching jewerelly for women. Every piece is an unique item and at the same time one of a kind just like every woman is. Our jewerelly shall be a symbol of self-confidence and a great outward appearance. Our brand‘s name is Explosion. It represents the impact of our products, which seem to explode by big and colourful pearls and diamonds. For the final brandbook we worked with the adobe programs Indesign and Illustrator. We also used the photographic studio and the camera to take our own photographs for the brandbook.
CORPORATE DESIGN
Lass uns
Gemeinsam
Deinen Traum
erfĂźllen
In my opinion the subject called Corporate Design was one of the most relevant lessons. Apart from creative themes it is also about Marketing and includes a little bit of enterprise economy. So both theory and practice are involved.
DESIGN IS NOT JUST GRAPHICAL IN NATURE
In this project it was my job to create a fictional corporate design for a landscap architect. Started from scratch every single part of the corporate design was created and shaped new. Logo, Typography, Colours, Brand and Quality: All these aspects are based on each other and make the puzzle complete.

One of my favourite range of subjects in graphic design is editorial design. It is a range that i am very interested in and have a lot of fun. So in this project i had to deal with a music magazine and invent everything on my own.

THE AMOUNT OF MEDIA THAT IS CREATED BETWEEN THE FIELDS OF NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINES, ...
The title, target, type of music, contents, illustrations and photographs were completely left to me. So i created this magazine in the case of my favourite type of music and was in my element from the beginning on. My magazine is about RnB. So the title is accordingly „RnB Tune“. I was looking for celebrities and musicians that i like listening to. I decided to illustrate them. This technique of the lower illustrations is a special one of the ilustrator Hayden Williams. I liked it very much and thought that this technique would fit very good to the whole concept and used it for my music magazine.
EDITORIAL DESIGN
All things considered my music magazine is simply shaped with not too much informations and colours in it. I used the program Indesign for the whole magazine. My special feature is a cd with a song that i sang mysel in the music studio and which you can find on the next page.

WHEN MY LIGHT TURNS OFF, MUSIC TURNS ON
This cover was a part of the music magazine in Editorial Design. It was the perfect opportunity for me to make my first experience regarding to a professional recording in the studio. So I decided to sing a song of one of my favourite artists and sang Diamonds by Rihanna.
COVER
A very big part of my life is covered with music. No matter what I do, where I go or what I think about. Music is always involved. Even though I‘m not a professional musician, I do it with passion and will never stop loving it.

Typografy is an integral part of all visually displayed text. Furthermore it was a very important part of our education.
THE VISUAL COMPONENT OF THE WRITTEN WORD
In this project it was our job to create posters with a typographic composition. The combination of sans serif fonds and calligraphy bring along a new dimension. in this case the writings on the posters were immaterial. The main job was the usage of calligraphy and its combination with another font. So when i was looking for a second fond i desided to use a sans serif fond. The calligraphy font on the posters is called „Magnolia Light“ and the sans serif fond is the „ITC Avant Garde Gothic“. 14

Illustration is a subject that matters in almost every project. Wether if it is a simple sketch or a big drwaing with a lot of effort in it. It is always included and an area in which i am very interested in.
A CHARACTER-DRIVEN ILLUSTRATION WITH PERSONALITY
The genre „Noir“ was the starting point in this project. Dark colours, dangerous characters, black stories, action-packed situations and unhappy endings: These are all typical features of a noir comic or movie. I was concentrating on a noir comic and created my own story with my own characters. The complete comic is handmade. Afterwards i scanned the pages and finished them with the help of photoshop. Fitiing to the whole concept i designed two postcards and two posters of the story.

Just like illustration photography is also very important in the area graphic design. It can‘t be separated because it is interdisciplinary.
ETERNALISE THE MOMENT
Nature at the end of the year. That was our concept according to the main topic „conversion“. In this group project we needed to constitute our chosen concept the best way possible. Passed green nature related to human depression made us take those photographs. Dull, depressing and dark photos are representing a depressive human soul. All pretty things are fading. Just like beauty does. With the one certain difference that beauty in nature is coming back. Next to the concept it was our job to learn how to use a camera with the right ISO-setting and all the important things a photographer has to take care off.

PHOTOGRAPHY
This one was another group project with another concept and issue. The issue was to combine a white object with a bottle of milk. Both representational and contentual. We were thinking about several object. At the end we decided to combine the milk with white rose blooms in the case of a cosmetic context. Roses are anyway a symbol for beauty, purity and love. But that is not the only reason why they are indispensable in a natural milk bath. With the help of their sensuality the rose blooms accentuate the soothing effect of such a bath. In the context of this concept this photo emerged with two white objects.
