Grafik Tasarim
Grafik Tasarim is the leading graphic design magazine in Turkey providing design news, research and educational articles. Turkish art director Barış Sarhan was approached by Grafik Tasarim to design the cover for the March 2009 “graphic design education” issue.

The image is a composite of items built by hand and 3D computer generated images created with Maya and ZBrush.
