Doodle Aesthetics Exhibited at Üsküdar University

Within the scope of the Basic Design course conducted by the Visual Communication Design Department of Üsküdar University's Faculty of Communication, the “Doodle Exhibition” met with students. Focusing on doodle aesthetics, one of the contemporary forms of expression in visual communication design, the exhibition attracted attention with its interdisciplinary approach and experimental narrative language. While individual forms of expression and daily drawing habits were explored in the works, it was also aimed to actively involve the audience in this creative process.

In the exhibition held in the South Campus A Block Lobby area, sketches and drawings by Faculty of Communication students, reflecting their creativity freely, were featured. 

The exhibition, bringing together different techniques and forms of expression, offered participants a rich visual experience.

A new perspective on doodle aesthetics

The exhibition not only treated the concept of doodling as merely a spontaneous drawing practice but also re-positioned it as a method of thinking, producing, and visualizing. The works explored individual forms of expression and daily drawing habits, while aiming to actively involve the audience in this creative process. Doodle aesthetics have gained a remarkable place in both digital and analog production practices in recent years.

Experimental and free design approach

Evaluated from a visual communication design perspective, the exhibition offered a space where elements of illustration and visual narrative were liberated. 

The inherent randomness of doodle aesthetics transformed into a conscious aesthetic strategy in the exhibition, presenting an approach that questioned rigid rules in design processes.

A critical contribution to academic and creative production aimed

The exhibition, which offered a critical perspective to both academic and creative production processes, also contributed to students developing their unique forms of expression. 

The event, offering participants a different exhibition experience, once again highlighted the importance of alternative approaches in visual communication design.
