Two Continents, One State: The Political and Foreign Affairs Development of the Republic of Türkiye / Yasmin Sattar
Year: 2025
Client: Patani Forum
Type: Book Design
The tulip, the Anatolian kilim, and the national flag: 3 icons of Turkish identity, refined into a single visual system.
This book translates Ottoman order and vernacular geometry into a contemporary design language. Its cover adopts the pattern of a contemporary carpet, embedding the title within a patterned field derived from the flag’s palette and symbols—part textile, part emblem. Inside, the layout is deliberately restrained. In the opening page of each chapter, the Turkish and English texts sit in measured balance. Chapters are punctuated by black dividers for quick navigation, and footnotes remain visible yet unobtrusive. Images, graphs and tables are proportioned with care, sustaining a steady, continuous reading rhythm.
