Every graphic designer tries to decide which font to use in advance, especially when editing text. Sometimes, however, there are changes depending on the subject matter or style desired. They prefer to take a step back and look at the screen as a whole. In such cases, it is important that all the letters work well together. For this reason, all letters from A to Z,  including numbers and symbols , are examined together in the name of the newly acquired typeface. So much so th

If I have a child one day, I’d like it to be a daughter. All my life I have always felt that would be the case. Maybe that’s what I secretly wanted. With her curly, wavy blonde hair, the smarty-pants little girl runs here and there, spreading joy. Laughing and smiling at the same time, she continues to grow up without realising it. The excitement of school, her first love, physical and emotional changes, the effort to differentiate herself from the feeling of not belonging to

The word ideal involves thought and speaks of what is conceived as perfect and exists only in the idea. That is why idealistic people always have ideas, but often fail to realise them properly. This is because life and, on a smaller scale , the local environment do not always allow it. After all, existence is not only valid for a living being;  it is chaotic and involves randomness. In a Latin story written as early as 1516 , Thomas More  wrote about an imaginary island of le

We have all wondered about the beginning. While science has guided us to a certain point in our educational lives, the formation of the sublime cycle that we cannot visualise or even imagine , and the process of its continuation into our lifetimes, has had a jaw-dropping effect. So how did it all happen?  A wonderful resource awaits the curious. Stories are alike, they have no other choice . But there are some stories that like to tell it from the beginning. I mean from the v

One of the most enjoyable moments in life is having a conversation with your loved ones and getting to know each other on a subject. Apart from being able to produce something, it is one of the rare occasions when we can live in the moment.  So do we make friends to be able to have these conversations and discussions, or do all these things become more attractive because we make friends? What is the cause? What is the purpose? You are in a rich, deep conversation, questioning

Sometimes we see the magical nature of an issue when we begin to think about it more deeply. In this respect, I think this is the effect of 29 February . Unlike so many other days, months and years, “ leap year ” is a phenomenon that makes a difference. People all over the world commemorate almost every day  (birthday, celebration, mourning, holiday, etc.)  in a local or global context. Although there are regularities every year, what makes this day different is its periodic

After the poem I wrote in my previous article, I realised that I had written my first poem exactly one and a half years later. Although I had been jotting down the rhymes and interesting words that came to mind from time to time, I had not written anything in that time. The interesting thing is that a few days before I wrote my article, I had made a plan to write poetry on a monthly basis, and I had bought poetry books by master writers that I was curious to read. However, I

There are so many things to write about that I am not so much overwhelmed as excited by the thought of where to begin. I used to say “there are so many books to read in this fleeting life”, and I’m sure I’m not the only one, but as I got more serious I added “there are so many stories, so many memories to write”. I think the greatest torture for a writer is not to be immortal. The desire of the scholars of that time to become ethereal was very understandable when I looked at

I would like to talk about libraries, a subject that has been on my mind for some time. Although I cannot speak generally, I do not think that there is such a habit, at least in my country, and my visits to these places are not very frequent. Therefore, although I do not have sufficient and realistic information from an individual point of view, after talking to many people, I will deal with it in this context because they agree with what I am complaining about. So I want to

While reading a century-old book by a writer I love very much, I realised something important to me. None of his sentences were identical . Despite his unique style, especially his use of long sentences, there was no trace of boredom . That is a great merit. Interestingly, although many things bother me when I write my fiction, this is the one I complain about the most. For some reason, I feel as if I catch the similarity of my sentences. Maybe I judge myself too much, I am n

Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. The opening lines of Hell ( Canto I ), the beginning of Dante Alighieri ’s “ Divine Comedy” , begin with Dante finding himself in an unknown place. But why does he begin in such obscurity, not telling us who he is or where he comes from? As Dante gets lost in the woods and begins his journey to Hell, the story expands and becomes a more detailed narrative, b

Questions are the forms that drive the conversation. Asking the right question and asking the question correctly can be important. Although the sentences we quickly formulate in our daily lives do not always allow for this, when we have a complex, new, detailed or important issue to think about, paying attention to it will both get the other person’s attention and increase our self-awareness . I think that the ability to diversify our questions can trigger different perspecti

Today I want to talk about a genre that I think is underemphasised when we talk about literary art. As I have been thinking about it and trying to write some pieces over the last few days, I have become so enthusiastic about it that I wanted to revisit it. Today’s topic is haiku , a genre of poetry brought to the world by Japanese Literature . In this article I will look at the subject from a slightly different perspective. Before starting the article, I thought about the fol

The development of communication and relationships between people depends on the importance given without expecting anything in return . Although this can be done in a variety of ways, it may be more effective to do it at memorable moments. For example, gifts given and received after a success, another age and anniversary, or a birth. There is also a date-based  rather than a person-based part of the matter. New Year’s Eve, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Valentine’s Day are ex

I came across a post on one of the social media sites asking whether some of the paintings shown had been created by artificial intelligence. I had seen some of them before, so I knew they were historical paintings, but I wasn’t sure about the others. They certainly looked very different and strange, but at the same time they looked immaculate . But I couldn’t be sure, because it turned out that none of them, except one, were the work of artificial intelligence. Looking throu

The creatures we meet in fantasy novels are many and varied. In addition to those that are fictionalised on the basis of what is in our lives, those that are conceived in unimaginable ways also adorn dreams. So much so that they are even envisioned differently in different cultures. Fantastic creatures appear according to the structure of the narrative and the story it contains. But think about it: if you had such a novel, what kind of monster would you want to include? Shoul

Last week I found myself reading more than ever, and to ensure that this was not limited to Medium, I diversified into various forums. Meanwhile, I felt the need to focus on a subject that has been constantly and involuntarily on my mind: Giving up. I felt a little strange and sad to see so many headlines on the subject. I think I can say that I read thousands of comments. Everyone poured out their reluctance, excuses, sadness , in their own way, and wanted an answer that wou

When we think of science fiction , we always think of an extraordinary future scenario. Sometimes we discover plausible or predictable developments, and sometimes we find them inconceivable, surprising or unbelievable. But how do we really see things?  Let’s look at them from different angles. In this century, technology continues to amaze. I remember looking forward to drawing lessons at primary school. I liked trying to create something, because technological developments a

Even though I am going to bring up a subject that I covered only a few weeks ago, sometimes the current experience of the subjects and the more vivid feelings that arise about them make me want to talk about them again. Many years ago I came across a video of an artist playing an instrument that I had never heard of, did not know what it was, and after researching it I realised how fantastic it was. So much so that (as far as I knew at the time)  he must have been one of the

When the word comes up, my friends always tell me how neat and tidy I am. I find it strange because I don’t think I am. Then, when they give examples of themselves, I realise that I’m not so bad. It seems that this phenomenon undoubtedly means something different to everyone. I’ve never met anyone who is a control and organisation freak. Maybe it’s because they’re a fan of letting things go or procrastinating . Sometimes it is not difficult to see this. I have addressed this
