Item Open Access Enforcing creativity in graphic design(Bilkent University, 2002) Erdurak, Naciye DerinEnforcing creativity in basic design is as important as giving students the design principles and elements. During their first year all design students are taking basic design courses in order to learn those principles and elements but starting from their first year education, creativity must also be enforced. This thesis is a research which is trying to find proper and direct ways to achieve this goal under the light of previous research and studies, with present basic design students.Item Open Access Fine arts perspective in user interface design(ACM, 2009) Kültür, Can; Veryeri Alaca I.In this poster, we first aim to explain an interdisciplinary approach and question an idea and attempt. Second, we aim to underline challenges and enablers of such an attempt. This idea can be briefly summarized as "inclusion of learning activities and assessments that are applied in coordination with the Department of Fine Arts might be necessary in terms of developing visual design skills". The target of this approach is improving the courses like 'human computer interaction' or 'user-interface design'.Item Open Access Progression of color decision making in introductory design education(Wiley, 2017-04) Ertez Ural, Sibel; Akbay, S.; Altay, BurçakColor comprises both subjective and objective aspects within its contextual nature. Research on color design tends to explore this seemingly contradictory concerns from theoretical point of view, as well as architectural and design practice. The aim of this study was to observe subjective, intuitive or heuristic and objective, knowledge‐based or analytical attitudes toward color in design education. In the study 84 introductory design students were surveyed progressively to understand their color decision criteria after completion of three 2‐dimensional colored exercises, specific in terms of color education. Students' responses to open‐ended questions were coded according to the 5 categories, under 2 decision making processes derived from the literature; heuristic approach: preferential and symbolic criteria, and analytic reasoning: formal, thematic, and systematic criteria. A distinction between associative and emotional aspects of symbolic criteria was also revealed by the data analysis. The findings showed a shift from heuristic responses to analytic reasoning, as expected. Additionally, it is also investigated that students not only used heuristic approaches but also analytical components (formal and systematic) of color decision making in varying degrees as well, even before any color subjects covered. Thematic color decisions became a major part of the students' design considerations upon completion of color subjects. The observed increase in the number of color criteria interrelated by the students' among almost all categories explicated a complex decision making process particularly in color design and education. These findings were expected to lead to some further understanding in color decision making in design.
