Application

Deadline for Applications is January 31st.

Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, currently counts as one of the most interesting cultural capitals between the East and the West.
This city has in fact many features that are well known as a unique environment for creative discoveries. It’s beauty lies in the ability to embrace contrasts: ancient and modern, religious and secular, Asian and European, mystical and earthly – all co-existing.
The discovery of these contrasts is one of Istanbul’s greatest attractions.Next Spring, Istanbul Bilgi University’s Graduate Program in Visual Communication Design – VCDMFA, will organize a two-phase international workshop. Collaborating with the Institute for Information Design Japan – IIDj, during and after- the workshop, the participants will have the opportunity not only to become familiar with DesignFactors – a structured method for assisting the modeling of design developments and decisions of all kinds, but also to improve their design skills and professional experiences through a real-life project:
Discovering Istanbul from A-Z.
