Work directly with your designer in Istanbul
While preparing for a fair, product launch or new website in Istanbul, different design works may need to be completed on the same date. I am Selçuk Aker; As a freelance graphic designer, I prioritize these deliveries and determine together which information will come from whom.
This page explains how to establish cooperation with brands in Istanbul. You can review the detailed scope of the materials on my graphic design services page and visual examples on my portfolio. First, we clarify which design your business needs and in what order.
What designs am I preparing for your brand?
Catalog and brochure design
I convert your products into a layout that the sales team can use. Product groups, technical information and page hierarchy in catalog design; In the brochure, it is important that the message is easily understood. I evaluate the requirements of the printed file and the PDF to be shared via e-mail separately. See catalog design scope.
Packaging and box design
I create the visual layout of the packaging for a new product or expansion of an existing line. Product types, information areas and brand identity should work within the same system. The manufacturer's cutting template and technical specifications are the basis for file preparation. The accuracy of label texts and confirmation of mandatory information are provided by the brand. See packaging design service.
Brand identity and logo design
Creating a new brand and developing an existing identity are different projects. First, I determine the values and usage areas to be protected. Logo, colour, typography and application layouts should be consistent with each other. Instead of redoing everything, I examine where the current structure falls short. Learn about corporate identity design.
Social media and campaign design
A single post and the visual series to be used throughout the campaign are not the same scope. Determines the message, broadcast channels and metrics; I create a layout that can be adapted to different formats. If ad account management, copy production and media budget are required, we define these separately. Check out social media design service.
Website, UI/UX and mobile application design
I design user flows and screens for a corporate site, e-commerce experience or mobile product. Navigation, form states, and different screen sizes are also part of the scope. By separating software development responsibility from design, we clarify the files to be transferred to the developer. You can find details on the website design and mobile application design pages.
How does the process proceed with a business in Istanbul?
- We define the need. Share existing materials, target audience, and upcoming deliverables. Let's identify the missing information together.
- We put the scope in writing. The works to be designed, measurements, content responsibilities, revision order and file formats are explained in the proposal.
- We evaluate the design direction. Moving forward with a single approval person and collective feedback makes decisions easier.
- We prepare it for production or publication. Approved designs are prepared according to technical requirements. Responsibilities at the printing, application and software stages are determined separately.
Business within Istanbul can also be carried out through online meetings and file sharing. For projects that require face-to-face evaluation, we discuss place and schedule availability in advance. It should not be assumed that there is an office in every district or on-site service at every job.
Single project or regular freelance graphic designer support?
While preparing for a fair, you may want to collect the catalogue, stand graphics and announcements in the same calendar. Another business needs only to update its packaging line. The model of working with a freelance graphic designer should be chosen according to the actual scope of the work.
We focus on specific deliverables in a single project. In periodic work, we plan priorities during the campaign or launch. In regular support, we evaluate new requests according to the current schedule. I do not promise unlimited work or same-day delivery without examining the capacity.
How is the Istanbul freelance graphic designer price determined?
The city alone does not set the fee. Material type, design requirement from scratch, number of pages or products, adaptations and delivery schedule are evaluated together. A brochure, which we will start with ready-made content, and a catalog that requires text and visual selection are not the same effort.
Share the work to be done, approximate quantities, existing files and target date for the quote. Let's also mention additional productions such as prints, photographs, software or licensed content. This way you can compare offers not only on price but also on the same scope of delivery. Request a quote for your project.
Meeting and delivery schedule for the project in Istanbul
A face-to-face meeting may be helpful; However, it is not necessary to hold a meeting for every revision. We can clarify the decisions in the first meeting and carry out subsequent evaluations with visuals and written notes.
If the printer, applicator or software team will also participate in the process, we will find out on what date they expect the necessary files. Thus, we do not plan the completion of the design and the completion of production on the same date.
Frequently asked questions about design support in Istanbul
Is it necessary to meet face to face to work with a freelance graphic designer in Istanbul?
No. We can conduct initial evaluation online and refine designs through file sharing and written feedback. When on-site inspection is required, we plan the scope and schedule separately.
Will Selçuk Aker directly manage my design work?
You will carry out the needs assessment and design communication with me on the projects coming through this personal portfolio. If the project requires additional expertise, we explain task sharing at the beginning.
Can we work only on catalog or packaging design?
Yes. You don't have to get all the services together. We can handle single material in line with the existing brand identity. Editable files and manufacturer specifications are reviewed at startup.
In what formats are design files delivered?
Depending on the intended use, PDF, digital images or interface design files suitable for printing are prepared. Conditions for source file delivery and use of third-party fonts or images are clarified in the offer.
Do you work with businesses outside Istanbul?
Yes. Thanks to online work, we can also progress with businesses outside Istanbul. If physical print or application control is required, coordination with the manufacturer is planned separately.
How do you evaluate an urgent design request?
I review whether the content is ready, the materials to be produced and the current schedule. I will share the applicable delivery plan before the offer; I do not promise an exact time without examining it.

A launch or regular production? Sharing the priority delivery and the person who will make the decision makes the conversation concrete.

Interview plan for Istanbul freelance graphic designer support
I first discuss the material to be produced and its expiration date with a business looking for Istanbul graphic design service. If a physical sample or application site examination is required, we separately plan when and how this will be done. A face-to-face meeting may not be required for every revision; We monitor the final version of the file together with written feedback.
Bakırköy graphic artist and graphic design support
I can plan catalogues, packaging and campaign files through online meetings for businesses looking for a graphic designer in Bakırköy. If a printed sample or on-site meeting is required, we clarify the conditions at the outset. Sharing the manufacturer's technical conditions for catalog printing, packaging samples or fair graphics makes the delivery plan easier. I work based in Istanbul; I do not have a separate office in Bakırköy.
