Tahtakale

This weeks assignment in our VA301 class is to go and explore the different design objects in Tahtakale where is a place you can find every single thing you ever search for with a good price. As you can see from the pictures I've uploaded Tahtakale is a very colourful place with bunch of people who are trying to sell you some stuff even if you've asked for it or not. Simply it is a very warm place, like a representation of Turkey's hospitality.




In every little store you can see a traditional subjects about our culture. Some of them hang flags while some of them simply decorate whole of the area with amulets.



After long hours viewing the designs in this place, I saw this new year hairband ornament which gave me inspiration about my projects possible gift. While new year is coming and this will be my christmas gift I thought may be I could design a stuffed snail which I have in my logo and make a toy out of it. This is just an idea because I am not sure if it will be a really useful gift to send out my customers as a cargo company. However it was fun even to look around and see some different design objects.
