The Role of Graphic Design in Information and Wayshowing Design and Investigation Through London and Eskisehir
Abstract
Cities are organic structures that tend to grow more complicated; maintaing the quality of life
in cities requires designing systems. Rapid growth of population and received migration in metropoleis, makes public transportation an essential part of daily life. Public transportation vehicles,
rail systems, buses, trains and passages, tunnels, stations and roads being built in correspondance
with the systems, require architecture, design and graphic design as much as it requires physical
construction and engineering. Graphic design helps information to be transmitted rapidly and
accurately. Graphic language, being a universal language, encompasses most transportation users
and allow the systems to be used by all. This article aims to examine the role of graphic design in
public trasportation sistems by focusing on London and Eskişehir examples.

Grafik Tasarımın Bilgilendirme ve Yönlendirme Tasarımındaki Rolü ve Londra-Eskişehir Örnekleri Üzerinden Bir İnceleme
Abstract
Kentler büyüyen, gelişen ve giderek karmaşıklaşan organik yapılardır ve kentlerde yaşam kalitesini korumak, bir sistem kurma zorunluluğunu ve tasarımı beraberinde getirir. Özellikle hızlı nüfus artışının ve göçün yoğun olduğu metropollerde, toplu taşıma, günlük hayatın vazgeçilmez unsurlarındandır. Toplu taşıma araçları, raylı sistemler, otobüsler, trenler ve bunlara bağlı olarak inşa edilen geçitler, tüneller, istasyonlar ve yolların hayata geçirilmesi sürecinde mühendislik bilgisi kadar mimarlık, tasarım ve grafik tasarım bilgisi de gereklidir. Grafik tasarım, toplu taşıma araçlarının kullanımında bilgiyi kısa sürede iletir ve anlaşılır kılar. Evrensel bir dil olan grafik dil, ulaşım sistemlerini kullanma kapasitesi olan herkesi kapsar ve kullanımına fırsat verir. Bu makale, Londra ve Eskişehir kentleri örneği ele alınarak ve bu kentlerdeki metro ve tramvaylarda kullanılan kurum kimliği ve yönlendirme tasarımlarına odaklanarak toplu taşımada grafik tasarımın yerini ve önemini vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır.
