They are aimed to represent Üsküdar in the Czech Republic

The students are aimed to represent Üsküdar University at exhibitions and events to be held in the Czech Republic within the scope of the Zlín Design Week as part of the competition program.

The book aimed to increase dyslexia awareness

The book, aiming to increase dyslexia awareness, was developed with two fundamental design approaches. “Dyslexia-friendly design and empathy-focused design.” In this regard, it aimed to more effectively convey the reading difficulties experienced by individuals with dyslexia.

In the first section of the two-part book, dyslexia was addressed within an educational framework, while in the second section, the visual stress experienced by individuals with dyslexia was conveyed to the reader through typographic simulations. This approach aimed to not only inform the reader but also to allow them to experience this feeling.

This achievement significantly contributes to Üsküdar University’s international visibility in academic and design fields.
