This project suggests an information system to orient the first coming
visitors to Istanbul, to the most important historical works and places 
with a specific humorous approach. In the design project, beginning from the
airport, visitors have been informed with the message "SEE GALATA". 
In this way, the first coming visitors to Istanbul will be oriented to Galata 
Tower with signs put at 50 different points on the street. For instance; the
orientation signs like "NO EIFFEL", "NO PIZA" etc. will orient 
people with famous tower images. The aim of this project is to provide visitors to
memory these historical places and works by combining humor and
institutional communication
