The journey started in 1966 in İstanbul… Since that moment he tried to appreciate his name… (Fikret: Thought, idea, mind, wisdom.) First he tried to study at Paint and Paint Chemical Department at Maçka Vocational School in İstanbul, then he learned that his main job is “to learn”… More and more the idea of “every image has a special adventure”, started giving him a hard time. During his study at Marmara University Graphic Design Department he learned how much he needs to learn in the visual ocean. He graduated in 1987. After experiencing at advertising agencies he started to follow a dream in Eskişehir. He was going to be a foot soldier of a new art and design school… Right in the middle of Anatolia… He studied at Art Center College of Design in Switzerland campus as the first Turkish student. It was so exciting to learn by teaching at Anadolu University. He shared what he knows in USA, Belgium, Germany, China, and Cyprus with many students. After 38 years from the first day, they put the title of Professor in front of his name, he is still trying to get use to it… Thousands of people were so kind to get his book called “Visual Communication and Graphic Design”. Whether he knows their name or not he had many students and masters. Since nineteen years he has been working with the most beautiful project called Evren (cosmos) with his seatmate. On the wall of the department that he is teaching of for 31 years, written as “We speak with words, communicate with concepts, graphic design is the transformation of these concepts into form”…
