Ece Eldek – Designer

I am an award-winning graphic designer and visual artist. I mainly work in book and magazine design (publication design).

Overview

I studied art and design at the Academy of Fine Arts. I am a visual artist and graphic designer. I also gave a course on typography at the Graphic Design Department of Bilgi University. I design books professionally in the creative field. I have participated in many exhibitions, including biennials as a visual artist. I write poetry and have published 3 books. My poetry and my art are intertwined.

That is why I am in the world of literature and art. I design books for such as publishers, art and cultural institutions and the food and cookbook sector, ecology, architecture, and individuals who need creative book design, such as artists, writers, and poets..

At the MUIP Design Biennial I was selected as one of the young designers. The series of cookbooks that I designed has won many awards all over the world. In the poster competition Good 50x70 in Italy I won the 2nd place worldwide. My designs have been published in many design magazines.

With years of experience working with artists and clients, I understand their needs and respond quickly. I start by exploring your needs and inspirations, ensuring the design captures your unique voice. If necessary, we collaborate on the brief to align our ideas and goals. Throughout the process, I maintain open communication with regular updates and feedback sessions. My aim is to create designs that are not only visually compelling but also true to your narrative.

Ece is everything I was looking for in a designer. Patient, thoughtful, and responsive. Her communication was always clear. She took something that looked very basic and turned it into something that looks like art. She has great ideas, it was hard for me to choose what to go with in the end with...

Ece was a pleasure to work with. My manuscript was so complicated that my publisher required an outside designer to help us with reformatting, and Ece made sure we ended up with a great final product. I'd highly recommend her for her professional perspective and her willingness to work on tricky ...
