Mert Kizilay — Creative Director

Mert Kizilay is a Creative Director based in United States, featured in the Art of Styleframe library of motion design and visual design talent. This profile aggregates selected works documented in the gallery alongside attribution links back to the artist's own portfolio for verified context.

The work gathered here runs to 14 documented pieces, pulled from a wider portfolio that takes in Tomb Raider, Genius Latest, TTTT, Frank Riggio - TTTT, each one linking back to Mert's own site for full credits. Look for GLANCE, ALIEN EARTH, Michelob ULTRA // Lap of Legends, IN PIECES, among others in the gallery; we link out to the maker's own upload instead of copying the frames here.

The deeper archive sits at mertkizilay.com; what we maintain is a pointer to it, not a copy of it. Grouping Mert by United States and by actual projects, not by buzzword, is the editorial habit this site has kept since the original gallery.

Mert Kizilay is a Creative Director featured in the Art of Styleframe library. He describes himself on his own site as a Thracian artist and director, and the site's working motto is blunt: try again, fail again, fail better.

Who he is

Kizilay's portfolio is main title design first and everything else second. Star Trek Strange New Worlds, Carnival Row, Altered Carbon, Lore, Genius. A good part of the earlier work was produced at yU+co under creative director Garson Yu, and his own credit notes say so for the Vizio spot, the Transcendence title design and The Last Ship promo for TNT. Not everything on the site is a finished broadcast piece, either. The Moon Knight entry is filed as a main titles pitch, which is honest labelling and rarer than it should be.

Selected projects

GLANCE and ALIEN EARTH are the two newest entries. Michelob ULTRA Lap of Legends is the recent brand work. Tomb Raider carries a full artist list on his page, naming Ilgi Candar, Yuanchen Jiang, Edwin Baker and Grace Kang alongside him in the design process. Iron Man III is the one he's written most directly about, saying he wanted balance and contrast in the sequence, with the macro and micro relationship standing in for the nano interpretation. IN PIECES and STEPS are the self-directed pieces, and the Frank Riggio TTTT music work reads as a landscape evolving with the track.
