I want to believe this committee has seen all forms of creative media explored in multitude of mediums answering this question, but not a chair.
A chair? A modular chair with 3 orientations made with cardboard. It’s named as The Caterpillar Chair. It works.
See it in the class presentation or promotional video I did through the link here: https://youtu.be/Qn7rrRzuY68
BUT, How does it represent my vision? It highlights the key principles for a media team, such as: 1. Process=Product 2. Adaptive Design 3. Modularity 4. Design Personality
Process r o d u c t
1
What I mean by this is, the act of making a chair is part of the final chair. To create something is to make a physical statement. It brings questions of what, why and how? The final product of media should be an accumulation of Likewise, the act of producing media in an environment is an act, it is a statement. It should serve a purpose for the context because visual language is no different than verbal language that it should be communicated at the right time with the right words.
adaptive design

The task for the chair is to make a chair out of at least 6 identical modules which can be repurposed for three different sitting positions. How does one designer adapt to this problem? The chair has three sitting positions so it is adaptive to the person’s needs. Just like a media team should be adaptive to what the session demands from them. Being flexible as a media team is essential because it starts a process of responsive design for the EYP session. Media teams of course arrive to EYP sessions with a game-plan, however the game-plan shall only be the foundation and not the end goal. There is a lot to condense in an EYP session like Valencia IS that a media team member should respond to what he/she experiences and observes to be in the core of the event. How the input given in the session is reflected to the media team output? In addition, being adaptive proves that everything is possible for the media team because even in the worst logistical scenario the team has the agility to adapt and keep functioning. Just like the chair some positions are more comfortable than others but the product is able to deliver them all. Therefore, having the ability to produce what is demanded is also key because successful communication occurs when the content creator listens to his audience and responds.

Describe your previous experience with media and any other technical skills you have? Please link us to examples of personal portfolio and link previous work.
The chair is also modular meaning that it only becomes functional when eight modules work in unison. Although the modules are identical, different parts of each are utilized to create a functioning chair. The Valencia IS media team must have the same character, because if it is called a media team rather than singular individuals working for the media of an academic youth event, it must rely on each other to produce a body of work that is solid and believable.

Do whatever you do with character.

I was the only person in class who prepared any sort of advertisement to their product. I was also the only person who imagined to make a rocking chair. Hence, I can clearly say my design reflects my personality. I wanted my chair to have a simple module that it doesn’t take hours to move from one orientation to other and I wanted the sitting positions to be fun. I wanted the chair to be inviting to sit. Likewise, the presentation of a product affects the reception of it. When I present a chair with a video with funky music and fast paced editing, it is not only the chair anymore but the collective understanding of the chair itself and the video presentation. This class example shows, I am ready to take the necessary actions to polish the piece of media that I am creating in the eyes of the audience and every media outlet I make will have a bit of Dora in it. I am proud of my artist personality which constantly evolves as I evolve as a person and it is a blessing to be able to portray that within my design practice.
I used to copy paste this massive list to this specific question that appears in every application. I am inquiring the way I do things recently and I want to break my own habits. There we go! I am Dora. I am currently an art student specializing in Graphic Design in Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI, United States. It is ranked as the best undergraduate design school in the world. Does that make me a good designer or even appropriate for the role of being an EA for Valencia IS. Probably not. But, it makes me a person that is constantly exposed to high-quality creative work and therefore, a person who is in an active environment of critique and learning. I am committed to learning. I am currently writing this application in my friend’s house in Mexico City. He is a filmmaker I met during getting an advanced filmmaking summer intensive in NY. That means three things. 1. I am committed to my Valencia IS application and therefore will be committed to Valencia if selected for the position. 2. I see value in this event. 3. My friend circle is also a set of artists and there is a lot of perspective I can introduce to the media team with the vision I hold of art and design. Next point, the work speaks for itself. And I want to believe that it is good because if I don’t nobody will ever will. The main two platforms are my Behance page (which includes different projects so make sure to check them out) and my Youtube page (which includes different projects in video form so make sure to check that out as well. )

project idea?
I believe projects are not single entities, but ideas chained to each other. One process gives birth to the other. On the contrary, we as artists we have mediums and formats we like working together with and occasionally an inclination to pursue them further. Those formats give life to themselves during the production of other projects.
I want to repeat a formula that has worked for me on previously working with an Harvard Graduate NGO on police brutality on racial minorities in the United States. Three months ago, my friend Gabe asked me if I could handle the sound production process (first recording then editing and processing) for a video we were working together as a part of a campaign for this Harvard Graduate NGO. The video was a set of interviews conducted in a studio environment, so I started taking candid pictures of the interviewees after they deliver their part because I thought there was an opportunity to represent the video process on a print format. The photos were taken with my film point and shoot film camera with a higher ISO black-and-white film stock because the grainy raw look that film stock adds to the feeling captured in the video against police brutality. I later edited the photos with phrases from the video to function in a zine format. The pdf of the zine can be viewed through this link:
https://issuu.com/utkandora/docs/ no_more_names_2019_utkan_ dora_o_ncu
A zine is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a photocopier. (Wikipedia).
The reason I am not clearly stating the content of the zine is the fact that they are quick and responsive. As shown in the example above one piece of media triggers other piece of media and that’s why media teams are special because your peers are your inspiration. What makes a zine special is the fact that it is intimate, quick to produce and it doesn’t feel as intimidating to the readers as a fully published magazine. Zines are meant to be short and conceptual. That’s why their stylistic and narrative qualities must be incorporated to EYP Media and especially a keystone event like Valencia2019 which has the power to influence the entire EYP network. Regarding this, EYP session issues generally have this problem of trying to be something they are not. Nobody is expecting to publish a fully bounded, printed, nicely cut magazine that feels like you are holding another New Yorker because there is a factor of time and logistics an EYP Session can provide. However, nobody gives the attention they are giving to designing the issue to actually printing it. The design process is responsive to the print process. A risograph print would eventually have a different design process than a laserjet print and the media team should consider how to take advantage of the logistics provided in the session as a stylistic choice because a designer shall understand the material first in order to communicate with it. In addition, the reader will never disregard the qualities of the material. For example, the reader will never think the object that he is holding is a professional and plausible publication if the bleeding margins from the printer is not cut which is something, I see in many EYP media publications. Ultimately, EYP needs designers who work for the medium, not against it.
Going beyond the boundaries of the MTM project, I really enjoy seeing Ali’s vision on the session issue, stepping out of the rectangular frame it conventionally comes with becomes a multitude of experiences at once. While I don’t know if this is the exact solution to the problem it is taking advantage of the print medium and doing something that cannot be achieved in other forms of media. (The medium is the message.) Responding to the output in Luxemburg, the idea wasn’t implemented to its full potential because the issue lacks negative space and the content is arbitrarily placed. It feels like the chef was making a soup and he wanted to put everything in it, forgetting that less is always more. However, I love this form of experimentation happening in EYP (even using EYP as a test group for new and fresh ideas) because it achieves one of the biggest goals of EYP in media form: making individuals step out of their comfort zone.
that was the application.
