From this point of view, the research is a descriptive study in the general
survey model. A questionnaire including of 24 questions to the participatory
designers and 15 questions to the managers was applied. According to findings;
it has been revealed that a large majority of graphic designers working on the
Ankara advertising market are 
postgraduate designers, their working schedules are very likely to each
other, the softwares they use are similar and they don’t have too much problems
about payments and work disciplines. But they can’t have time for social and
educational activities because of the density of working hours. According to
the opinions of agency owners, although the designers have a sufficient level
of designing run and workflow, they are not particularly good at the process of
printing and post-printing.
