Illustrator Asst. Prof. Nuri Sezer's 'Symmetric Illustration' has been published. Stating that there is an intercultural connection in illustration, Sezer said, "An illustration that carries the common values of cultures will have an impact on the people it communicates with."

From Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts (GSF) Department of Graphic Design, Lecturer Nuri Sezer's book "Symmetric Illustration" has been published by Istanbul Gelisim University Press.

Emphasizing the place of art in human life, Asst. Prof. Nuri Sezer said, “Art is one of the most important phenomena that affect people all over the world and activate their senses to see, hear and feel. Everyone has a music, a picture that they love and feelings they get from them. They are the most important factors that distinguish humans from other living things. Unfortunately, our society's view of art is not very healthy and this view shows the lack of importance given to visuality.”

“GRAPHIC IS AN APPROACH OF ART THAT FINDS MOVEMENT IN THE LIGHT OF EVERY SCIENCE”

"We call art to express an idea by adding emotion and creativity," said Sezer and added, "Graphic is the one that enables people to communicate with each other or socially with visual, sensory and tactile instruments, and while providing this, it is an understanding of art that finds its talent that act in the light of every artistic, cultural, economic, sociological, psychological and anthropological science.”

“ILLUSTRATION IS AN INTERCULTURAL CONNECTION”

Stating that the most active and memorable source of communication in living things is visual activation, Sezer said, “Illustration is a branch of graphic design. There is an intercultural connection in illustration. An illustration that carries the common values of cultures is very effective on the people with whom it communicates. Using the concept of symmetry in the illustrations I made, I tried to make different visual designs by cutting the works in half and taking their symmetry. Believe me, sometimes five or six different images did make a great work. We realized that different visuals were created by having my students apply it at school. I draw the illustrations by hand, colour them on the computer, and then open exhibitions with digital prints on various materials and present them to the imagination of the audience.”
