Piksel Akademi

Piksel Akademi is an IT career academy based in Antalya with a branch in İzmir. From April 2025 to April 2026 I was its only creative, running social media, reels and video, an AI ad film, citylights and all print, and I also taught in the graphic design and video courses. This page shows that year's campaigns, print and films in full.

Goal

My goal was to turn Piksel Akademi, seen as a local course centre, into a modern, recognisable tech-education brand. I built a system in which every course is told through one strong idea and both branches, Antalya and İzmir, speak the same language. For a year I ran social media, video, outdoor and print from a single hand, and to carry that load as one person I designed every campaign as a reusable system rather than a one-off piece.

A recognisable campaign language

For each course I created one key visual and carried it to posts, reel covers, stories, flyers and citylights with the same rules: a fixed headline and footer layout, Montserrat weights, the academy's lime and cyan, and app icons that explain the course at a glance. Some image parts came from Nano Banana; the compositing, retouching, typography and final grade I did by hand in Photoshop. The aim was that even in a fast scroll, a post would read as Piksel Akademi.

Enrollment-driven content

The content's real job was enrollment. I planned the calendar around intake periods: early enrollment, last seats, course started and online consultation announcements went out in the same order every term. Step-by-step videos on booking a consultation, a bring-a-friend discount, one-page curriculum sheets and free demo classes were designed to turn interest into a conversation and then a registration.

The AI ad film and motion

I made a 52-second ad film for the Graphic Design course. After the storyboard I built the scenes as stills with Nano Banana, animated them with Veo in Google Flow, and cleaned up and cut every shot in Premiere Pro and After Effects; I made the sound design in FL Studio and completed it with outside support. The film went viral and started the account's growth: four pieces went viral that year and followers rose from about 7,000 to 22,000. I also turned the static campaigns into reels in After Effects, designed the coffee-cup logo of the Pikselle Kahve Molası series and edited its episodes from footage delivered to me.

The İzmir launch and print

For the İzmir branch launch I designed the “Piksel Akademi Artık İzmir'de!” (now in İzmir) citylights. Pairing giant type split into syllables, TA-SA-RIM and YA-ZI-LIM, with objects like a tool bar and a mouse made each course readable from a distance, and I carried the same language to the Antalya citylights and the A4 flyers. The 2026 curriculum booklets, a 26-page corporate training catalog, presentations and business cards completed the print side.
