Graduation Thesis' Abstract

WOMEN GRAPHIC DESIGNERS IN TURKEY

ABSTRACT

First of all, the paper examines how women designers influence Turkish Graphic Design History to understand visibility of women designers. The problem behind is invisibility of female designers’ problem in art historiography in general. This research’s aim is to investigate the visibility problem of female designers in Turkish Graphic Design History arising from scarcity of resources, and to learn about the general and periodic effects of women on Turkish Design Historiography. What is the reason of why there was no effective historiography about women in Turkish Graphic Design History? In which specific areas did Turkish female graphic designers have an impact on the “Republican History”? In order to answer these questions in this problem, we examine researches from this subject as “Kadın Tasarımcının Adı Var: Gülümser Aral Üretmen”, “Sabiha Bozcalı ve Türkiye Grafik Tasarım Tarihi” written by Ömer Durmaz and research about “Republican History” to ascertain why women designers were forgotten in graphic design historiography and investigating their invisible influence. Before starting our research, we are aware of the differences between the current visibility of women designers in Turkey and the general appearance, effects of the republican history of Turkish Graphic Design History. Women graphic designers around the world have a great influence on their fields and it is possible to observe these effects. In our hypothesis, Turkish Graphic Design History also have successful female graphic designers on various fields and their visibility is less than the world in general. To prepare our research using first and secondary sources, evaluate and limit the information we have then make it suitable for our approach.
