Istanbul (Turkey) - The sixties witnessed the maturing of the graphic design profession, an explosion of creativity and the development of visual identity programmes, then referred to as House Styles. The seventies saw a celebration of the world of wit and ideas and the transition from House Style to Corporate Identity. The eighties - proliferation of design groups, enormous growth, commercialism and the consolidation of Design Strategy and Design Management The nineties - a new generation of designers, more style, less content and the shift from Corporate Identity to Branding.
