Baran's research explores critical perspectives on corporate identity, visual framing in media design, and the dialectical nature of design concepts. He applies framing theory to surface design and investigates pictographic ambiguities in safety signage. His recent work also addresses the political economy of design and its role in cultural production.

His publications focus on graphic design's cognitive and cultural dimensions, including analysis of safety symbols, media design, and dialectical approaches to design theory. These works reflect interests in visual communication, critical design discourse, and semiotic interpretation.

Baran actively participates in international art symposiums and design exhibitions, such as the 2018-2019 International Social Sciences Congress in Nevsehir, the 2018 International Art Symposium on Modernism in Varna, and collaborative exhibitions at Trakya University and Maltepe University.
