A collective view of graphic design and the culture around it
Graphic Design Collective started with a simple habit: saving and sharing work we admired, building an archive we could return to whenever we needed inspiration. What began mostly for ourselves quickly resonated with a much wider community. GDC’s Instagram content has reached two million views in a single month.
As GDC grew, the images alone started to feel like only part of the story. We wanted to know more about the people behind the work, how ideas came together and what happened before the final image. So we thought, why not ask them directly? That is what GDC is becoming now: a place to share not only the work, but also the conversations, ideas and stories behind it.
The people behind GDC
Valeryia Herasimava
Co-founder, Curator
Valeryia is the radar you want to be caught by. She’s the one behind all the discoveries. New works, strange references, things worth saving. GDC is here thanks to her endless stream of discoveries.
Çağıl Aygen
Co-founder
Çağıl is the one shaping the GDC you see. Until the final version, he questions everything and starts over, more than once. Convincing him is a sport in itself, but it’s a fun game to play.
Eylül Aytan
Partner, Editor-in-Chief
Eylül is the person who always has “just one more” question. Spoiler: it’s never the last. She turns conversations into stories, chases the quote that says it all, and makes sure GDC sounds like GDC.
