We chat with Cem Yönetim, Co-founder and Designer at Studio Yönetim, about the advantages of using movement within your designs, adapting to technology, and he shares some great advice around maintaining motivation.
Give us the elevator pitch on what you do
Nowadays, increasing speed of life is affecting every aspect of our lives including Graphic Design. In general, the advantage of the movement in terms of information all/or desired message can be used beneficially. For this reason. I am generally trying to produce moving and high-tempo graphics. I started to put emphasis on this idea by doing Posters.
What are some of the best and worse parts of your job, day-to-day.
One of my favorite things about my job is that I can work at night. Working at night helps me get over my attention and focusing problems. The downside is as a designer I struggle to catch the speed of constant to developing technology. While I am trying to integrate the changes and the opportunities brought by technology, I feel both happy and sad witnessing the new developments in technology.
What qualities and skills do you look for in a graduate?
In addition to creativity, a graduate should have the skills to find integrated solutions that are brought by technology with technology itself.
Where do you think design is heading in the next five years and how will you adapt?
I believe that in 5 years one of the way's of graphic design called non-digital is not going to be in use as much as it is today. The reason I believe this way is limited accessibility and environmental reasons that have been experienced today. Because of these issues, I am constantly trying to adapt myself to new developing technology.
Honest advice that I can give is the motivation that you sustain must be located somewhere safe from harm and no matter what happens must be preserved constantly
What advice would you give students graduating in 2019?
Honest advice that I can give is the motivation that you sustain must be located somewhere safe from harm and no matter what happens must be preserved constantly. The motivation we have, we can't let it down, and we continuously have to put effort into the thing that is our passion. If you give one to it, you have to be ready for giving two. If you are not passionate about it, giving up is inevitable.
2019 for you in a sentence.
labor omnia vincit. (Work conquers all)
