From The Friend’s Drawer: Mengü Ertel’s Collection of Cihat Burak’s Works

I worked on the layout and pre-press design for From The Friend’s Drawer, a publication showcasing unpublished works by painter Cihat Burak.

These works were discovered in the drawer of legendary graphic designer Mengü Ertel’s desk, and brought to life in this archival exhibition book.
