HI THERE, MY NAME IS

Burak
Sert

I am a motion graphic designer and musician based in Sakarya. Please scroll down to see more.

ABOUT

I graduated from Ege University, Advertising Department in the 2020 year. Afterwards, I decided to focus on motion graphic design, since I realized that I tend to make the video, animation as well as sound design. At the same time, I am a music composer, and I strictly believe the magic of a sound in my videos.

Motion Graphic

I can’t imagine motionless
world!

In my university years, I did the first internship on video producing in a local agency in Antalya and I worked with hotel chains and restaurants more often there. After the intern, I continued to remote work in same agency as freelancer for 6 months.  In my last year at the university, I began to produce some animations and after graduate, I started to remote work in a big agency in Istanbul as a junior motion graphic designer for 2 years.

Music

For me, music comes before breathing!

I deal with music since my childhood. I am music composer, which means I produce my own music such as jingle, soundtrack. I play guitar and keyboard. Besides, I also write lyrics and mostly turn them into a song with my band Mediterra. I use Cubase Pro Digital Audio Software to record my songs. On the other hand, I firmly believe that sound design is one of the most important thing on the videos.

Culinary Arts

At the same time, I trust my creativity in the kitchen!

I studied culinary arts in tourism management high school. I did my first internship in one of European largest hotel chains in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany on ‘German Pastry’ thanks to Erasmus+ Leonardo da Vinci Program. I won some awards from both international and local competitions. After that, I experienced to work in Pastry, Bakery, Italian, French, Seafood Cuisines between 2013-2016 years.

COVER LETTER

I have written a short summary about my whole life. 

To the person who reads this
short article about my life,

I have been dealing with creativity since I was nearly 10 and the beginning of the period that I decided to be creative by writing lyrics and singing. Then, I started to learn and play guitar and I wrote more complicated songs, besides I recorded those on my own.

I studied culinary arts in highschool years and I did an internship at NH Hotel Dessau&Roßlau in Germany. After the first internship experience at the kitchen, I worked on French, Italian, and Seafood cuisines at some hotels in Antalya and my passion is Italian cuisine.

After a while, I decided to study advertising at university in write I wanted to gather all of my creative traits efficiently.

I had done my first internship in advertising industry in Antalya before I graduated. I worked on video production as much as possible.

I continued to work there after the internship while I was studying at the university.

After graduation, I started to work in a company and I have been working remotely there with both local and global brands as a motion graphic designer.

On the other hand, I am the person who likes to travel abroad as much as possible to support my creativity. I have been to Germany, The United States and Italy before. To sum, I have a curious personality hence I like to explore new and different cities, habits, persons.
