Hello there, I'm Ilgaz! I'm a fourth year Industrial Design student and an illustrator. I like to create and to have fun while doing it. Hope we all have a great experience!
Till the end of this week, having sorted out the final decisions with our clients, we wanted to get the idea designed to the last detail. We started with the basics of what will be an interactive digital platform for the elderly to socialize and get exercise done in their homes. Of course the product is not just a digital platform, which would have been far from ideal for the people who are used to interacting with the tangible world.
The main points we will be focusing on will be to design a service that will give them the most comfortable experience with actual results!
This week, after a meeting with Team 11, we have changed the spesifications on the brief to provide us a wider problem area. After this we decided to recede back to think over spesific problems to solve.
After that we set up a meeting with our group to get back on track and start think about design ideas. Overall, we had a fruitful week and made some progress! :3
After we were able to contact and schedule a meeting with Team 11, our collaborator team, we decided to get going and complete the brief. We met on Discord again and screen shared to create an online platform to communicate ideas just as if we were working on the same table.
Our findings should convey the research and consideration behind the object in the brief. Hoping we succeeded in this, we are looking forward to get feedback from Team 11!
For the past week, we have met with our group members on Discord several times to make the necessary decisions on the brief draft. We try to bring joyful visuals to our designs and make sure we all enjoy the process as much as we hope we will enjoy the final product.
Keeping the design language and coming up with the requirements take time and effort on our part since this is the first brief draft we have prepared. Yet, we are happy with the results! Hope our friends and collaborators from Brazil will find the brief helpful and thorough as well.
Hi! I’m Cemre Ilgaz, though I go by Ilgaz mostly. Im a fourth year Industrial Design student in METU. I live in Ankara currently, in the capital city of Turkey. I enjoy my life here, a lovely city with four blaring seasons and countless activities and places to attend. You would be surprised how many curious little things are hidden beneath the layers of the city.
Some of my favourite things in the world is to experience other cultures, to co-exist and become aware in that moment how similar yet different we are as people. Feeling one with the world, but still a stranger… This is one of the reasons I wanted to take this course, to interact with people from diverse backgrounds.
Other than the time spent on school assignments and projects, I like to keep busy and always have personal projects going on. My hobbies include art/illustrations, hand crafts like knitting and sewing, and creating whatever inspires me at the time! I do not put a definition on what I do, if it makes me feel happy or hyped up, I dive in. Below are some of my recent artworks and a little bit of me, for you to get to know me better.
I believe magic and excitement can be found anywhere and for anyone as long as we wish to find it.
