V diplomski nalogi se bom ukvarjala s postopkom izdelave konceptne ilustracije. Raziskovala bom njeno zgodovino, kakšno vlogo ima in na katerih področjih je uporabna. V praktičnem delu bom problematizirala, kako vizualno razumljivo in enostavno razlagati kompleksne informacije ter kako jih pripraviti za nadaljnje razvijanje drugih ustvarjalcev. Ukvarjala se bom z razvojem različnih karakterjev, okolja, opreme in ostalih predmetov, ki so bili predstavljeni v originalni izdaji igre Blood (1997). Preučevala bom metode in strukturo iger ter izvedla primerjalno analizo vizualnega razvoja sočasnih iger v podobnem žanru. Pri snovanju nove podobe bom pozorna na igralce nove generacije in tiste z občutkom nostalgije. Igri Blood želim vdihniti novo življenje za sodobno generacijo potrošnikov. Zanimalo me bo koliko je preoblikovana podoba lahko podobna izvirniku, koliko je pri tem treba slediti trendom in tehnologijam ter ali lahko z novo podobo igri vdihnem novo življenje za sodobni čas. Igro bom s pomočjo avtorskih ilustracij preoblikovala v sodobno podobo. Končni izdelek bo predstavljen v ilustrirani publikaciji. In my diploma thesis I will deal with the process of making a conceptual illustration, research its history, what role it has and in what areas it is useful. In the practical part I am going to problematize how to visually understand and easily interpret complex information and how to prepare it for further development of other creators. I will be involved in the development of various characters, environments, equipment and other items that were presented in the original edition of Blood (1997). I will study the methods and structure of games, perform a comparative analysis of the visual development of simultaneous games in a similar genre. When designing a new image, I will pay attention to the players of the new generation and those with a sense of nostalgia. I am interested in giving a new life for the Blood game for the modern generation of consumers. I am going to research how much the transformed image can be similar to the original and how much it is necessary to follow trends and technologies, and whether I can breathe new life into the game with a new image. With the help of the author's illustrations, I am going to transform the game into a modern image. The final product will be presented in an illustrated publication.

V diplomski nalogi sem raziskovala stereotipno študentsko življenje in kako ga upodobiti v kontekstu ustaljenih pomenov tarot kart, natančneje velike arkane. V teoretičnem delu sem s pomočjo intervjuja raziskala sociološki in psihološki vidik študentskega življenja ter stereotipe o tem. Preučevala sem tudi razliko med stereotipi, ki so ključni del moje raziskave o študentih, in arhetipi, ki so osnova tradicionalnih pomenov velike arkane v tarotu. V praktičnem delu sem povezala arhetipe in pomene kart iz velike arkane s stereotipi, pojmi ter pojavi iz študentskega življenja in jih upodobila v seriji ilustracij za komplet dvaindvajsetih kart velike arkane v mešani tehniki akvarela ter barvice. Oblikovala sem vodič in mošnjiček za karte. In my BA thesis, I researched the stereotypical student life and how to depict it in the context of already established interpretations of the major arcana of tarot cards. In the theoretical part, I researched the sociological and psychological aspect of being a student by conducting an interview. I also researched the difference between stereotyped, which were a key part of my research about students, and archetypes, which are the basis of the major arcana in the tarot. I connected the archetypes of major arcana with the stereotypes from the student life and depicted them in a series of illustrations for my deck of the twenty-two major arcana cards in the practical part of my thesis. The series was done in a mixed medium of watercolour and coloring pencils. I also designed the guidebook and a pouch to hold the cards.

V analitično-raziskovalnem delu magistrske naloge smo raziskali interaktivne didaktične pripomočke, ki so namenjeni učencem osnovne šole, starim od 12 do 13 let. Poglobili smo se v definicije, razvoj in zmožnosti interaktivne digitalne knjige ter analizirali nekaj že obstoječih primerov. Pri analizi digitalnih knjig smo bili posebej pozorni na interaktivni aspekt medija, in sicer smo ugotavljali, kateri interaktivni elementi se najpogosteje pojavljajo in na kakšen način vplivajo na dojemanje vsebine. Raziskali smo področje stvarne ilustracije in naredili kratek pregled nad entomološko znanstveno ilustracijo po svetu in v Sloveniji. Poglobili smo se tudi v različno programsko opremo, ki omogoča pripravo interaktivnih knjig, in se na podlagi več kriterijev odločili za najprimernejšo. Na koncu smo na podlagi učnega načrta pri predmetu Naravoslovje 7 in na podlagi strokovne literature o nočnih metuljih oblikovali vsebino knjige, primerno za ciljno skupino. Projektni del magistrske naloge obsega oblikovanje in ilustriranje vsebine ter animacijo izbranih elementov, ki smo jih združili v interaktivno digitalno knjigo o nočnih metuljih. Knjiga bo na voljo kot dodatno didaktično gradivo pri predmetu Naravoslovje. The analytical research part of this thesis investigated the interactive didactic tools intended for primary school pupils (12 to 13 years old). The field of illustration was defined and a short timeline of Slovenian entomological scientific illustration presented. The historical timeline was outlined and the possibilities of interactive digital books researched. Several comparable interactive books were analysed and special attention was paid to the interactive aspect of the medium. An investigation into which elements are typically present and how they impact the reading experience was conducted. Further research to determine which computer software offered the possibility to create interactive publications was performed and informed the decision on which software to use for the final project. The text for a book about moths following the primary school biology curriculum was prepared and written. The practical project part included designing and illustrating a book about moths, with interactive elements such as animations. The book is intended to serve as supplementary material for the primary school biology curriculum.

Na Hrvaškem, še posebej na področju Samoborskega gorovja, je pomemben del ustnega izročila pripovedovanje zgodb o vilah in čarovnicah. V diplomskem delu želim obuditi znane pravljice, ki so nam jih pripovedovale že babice in so sestavni del hrvaške kulture. Izbrane pravljice bom prikazala v predprodukcijskem procesu za kratki animirani film, ki ga nameravam v prihodnosti ustvariti. V analitično-raziskovalnem delu naloge se bom osredotočila na hrvaško ustno izročilo, pomen ohranjanja ustnega izročila in pravljic, raziskovala bom razvoj področja animacije ter konceptne ilustracije. Analizirala bom slovanski animirani film v obdobju 20. stoletja. Raziskovala bom postopke predprodukcije, definirala posamezne faze načrtovanja, določila likovne elemente ter izvedbene tehnike. Zanimalo me bo, kako vizualizirati pripoved in kako jo prenesti v animirani film. Ob iskanju lastnega likovnega izraza bom pozorna na izvor predstavljenih zgodb (kulturne, etnografske ter geografske posebnosti). V projektnem delu naloge bom izdelala knjigo, v kateri bo predstavljena predprodukcija kratkega animiranega filma s poudarkom na konceptnih ilustracijah in zgodborisih za izbrane pravljice. In Croatia, especially in the area of the Samobor Mountains, telling stories about fairies and witches is an important part of oral tradition. In my thesis, I want to revive well-known fairy tales that were told to us by our grandmothers and are an integral part of Croatian culture. I will show the selected fairy tales in the pre-production process for a short animated film that I plan to create in the future. In the analytical-research part of the assignment, I will focus on Croatian oral tradition, the importance of preserving oral tradition and fairy tales, I will research the development of the field of animation and concept illustration. I will analyze Slavic animated film in the period of the 20th century. I will research pre-production processes, define individual planning phases, determine artistic elements and execution techniques. I am interested in how to visualize the narrative and how to translate it into an animated film. While searching for my own artistic expression, I pay attention to the origin of the presented stories (cultural, ethnographic and geographical peculiarities). In the project part of the assignment, I create a book in which the pre-production of a short animated film is presented, with an emphasis on concept illustrations and storyboards for selected fairy tales.

Diplomsko nalogo na temo oblikovanja domišljijskih likov sem se odločil delati, ker me to področje zanima. Bolje sem želel raziskati in razumeti načrtovalsko-oblikovalski proces, ki sem ga nato uporabil pri ilustriranju. Realiziral sem del projekta, ki bo pozneje uporabljen v knjigi. Domišljijski liki so oblikovani poljudnoznanstveno, tako da bodo razumljivi splošni javnosti in hkrati vsebujejo elemente, ki bodo prepoznavni strokovnjakom. Ilustracije domišljijskih likov so zasnovane na igriv način, a še vedno namenjene splošni odrasli javnosti. Namen diplomske naloge je ugotoviti, kako takšne domišljijske like, na osnovi izhodiščnih opisov, primerno oblikovati. Pri tem sem si pomagal z obstoječimi primeri oblikovanja domišljijskih likov s poljudnoznanstvenim žanrom, naredil pa sem tudi primerjavo ilustracij. Proučil sem teorijo poljudnoznanstvenega komuniciranja: koliko morajo ilustracije biti vabljive, zabavne ter koliko informativne oziroma kakšni so proporci med tema dvema vsebinama – čustveno dojemanje (estetika) in racionalno (informacije). Končni produkt praktičnega dela diplomske naloge je serija ilustracij na temo štirih stebrov imunskega sistema, ki jih predstavljam v obliki originalov in publikacije. I decided to do my bachelor thesis on the topic of dcharacter design, because I am interested in this field. I wanted to explore and understood the creative workflow of illustration. I finalized the project that will later be used in the book. Imaginary characters are designed popularly and scientifically so that they will be understood to the public and at the same time containing elements that will be recognizable by scientists. Illustrations of characters are illustrated in a playful way, but are still aimed at the general adult public. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to determine, how to design imaginative characters based on descriptions. To achive the desired results, I have used existing examples of character design within a popular science genre and made a comparison of illustrations and cartoons. I studied the theory of popular science communication: how much should illustrations be inviting, fun and how informative, or what are the proportions between these two contents: emotional (aesthetics) and rational perception (information). The final product of the practical part of the thesis is a series of illustrations on the topic of the four pillars of the immune system, which I present in the form of original illustrations and publication.

V praktičnem delu magistrske naloge se ukvarjam z izdelovanjem animiranega dokumentarnega filma o invazivnih rastlinskih vrstah v Sloveniji. Znotraj dokumentarnega filma se pojavijo elementi znanstvene ilustracije za razlago, kako in kje se ustalijo tujerodne invazivne vrste in kakšne so posledice za okolje in človeka. Predstavljen je tudi vidik strokovnjaka glede prihodnosti odnosa med človekom in naravo ter podobnimi temami. Hipoteza naše magistrske naloge trdi, da animacija lahko privabi večje število mlajših generacij kot katera druga oblika sporočanja in s tem pripomore k večji ozaveščenosti o problematiki tujerodnih invazivnih rastlin. V teoretičnem delu je raziskovan dokumentarni film, žanre dokumentarnega filma, kratki zgodovinski pregled animacije in animiranega dokumentarnega filma ter področje filma v primerjavi z dokumentarnim filmom. Raziskovano je stičišče med znanstveno ilustracijo in dokumentarno animacijo. Analizirani so različni animirani dokumentarni filmi ter izpostavljene skupne značilnosti. Prav tako je raziskovana problematika tujerodnih invazivnih rastlin in izvedeni so bili tudi intervjuji s tremi strokovnjaki na področju naravovarstva. In the master's degree project, an animated documentary about invasive plant species in Slovenia was developed. Elements from scientific illustration have been used to explain where and how invasive plant species settle, how they affect the environment and humans, and which plants actually are foreign species. Aspects of an expert, regarding the future of the relationship between man and nature and other topics delving with this theme are presented. Hypothesis of the master's degree project states that animation can bring attention to the issue of invasive foreign plants to younger generations, more likely than other forms of media in Slovenia, as it raises more awareness. In the theoretical part, research was done on a documentary film, its genre, a brief historical overview of animation and animated documentary film, the field of film compared to documentary film. Next, the juncture between scientific illustration and animated documentary was explored. In this regard, various animated documentaries and most prominent common features were analysed. We also researched the issue of invasive plants and conducted interviews with three experts working in the field of nature conservancy.

Tema magistrskega dela obravnava znanstveno ilustracijo rastlin in žuželk. Namen dela je, da se ohrani spomin na rastline in pozove k varovanju in širjenju zavedanja o medsebojnem sodelovanju in vplivih, ki jih imamo na okolje. Za ohranjanje spomina je lahko v pomoč tudi umetnost, natančneje znanstvena ilustracija. V preteklosti so si lahko mnogo rastlin predstavljali le iz opisov ali skic, saj jih niso imeli priložnosti videti v živo. Upodobljeni vzorci bi lahko v prihodnje služili kot dokumentarno gradivo današnjih ekoloških razmer in prehranskih navad. Pri izboru rastlin sem se po posvetu s strokovnjaki z botaničnega področja odločila za devet rastlin, ki so po lestvici Organizacije za prehrano in kmetijstvo svetovno najpomembnejše za prehrano: kavovec, oljna palma, soja, bananovec, riž, sladkorni trs, krompir, pšenica in koruza napada pa jih vsaj en škodljivec. Teoretični del magistrskega dela se navezuje na področja znanstvene botanične ilustracije, znanstvene ilustracije žuželk in kaligrafije ter raziskuje metode ohranjanja rastlin skozi zgodovino in pomen upodobitev v okviru znanstvene ilustracije. Praktični del pa zajema podrobnejše raziskovanje rastlin in žuželk s seznama in izdelavo knjižnega ilustrativnega herbarija s priloženimi ilustracijami rastlin in škodljivcev, opremljenimi s kaligrafijo. V primerih, kjer je bilo to možno, so bile poleg ilustracij rastline pripravljene po postopkih za izdelavo herbarija, sicer pa le vzorčne ilustracije rastlin s pripadajočimi ilustracijami škodljivcev. Glede ciljne skupine menim, da bi bil tovrsten herbarij učinkovit učni pripomoček, zanimiv pa tudi tako za ljubitelje znanstvene ilustracije, botanike kot tudi poljudne bralce. The topic of the master’s thesis deals with the scientific illustration of plants and insects. The aim is to preserve the memory of plants and to call for the protection and dissemination of awareness of the cooperation and impact we have on the environment. Art, more precisely, scientific illustration, can also help to preserve their memory. In the past, various plants could only be imagined from descriptions or sketches, as they did not have the opportunity to see them live. The depicted samples could in the future serve as documentary material for today`s ecological conditions and eating habits. In the selection of plants, after consulting with experts in the field of botany, I decided on nine plants that are according to The Food and Agriculture Organization the world`s most important for nutrition: coffee, oil palm, soybeans, banana, rice, sugar cane, potatoes, wheat, and corn and are attacked by at least one pest. The theoretical section of the master`s thesis relates to the fields of scientific botanical illustration, scientific illustration of insects and calligraphy, and explores methods of plant conservation throughout history and the importance of their depiction in the context of scientific illustration. The practical part includes a more detailed research of plants and insects from the list, the production of an illustrative herbarium in the form of a book with attached illustrations of the plants and pests, equipped with calligraphy. In possible cases, in addition to the illustrations, plants are prepared according to the procedures in making a herbarium, otherwise only the sample illustrations are provided alongside the pest illustrations. Regarding the target group, I believe that such a herbarium would be an effective learning tool and would be interesting for fans of scientific illustration and botany, as well, for a wider circle of readers.

V tem magistrskem delu se bomo osredotočili na problematiko pojavnosti stripa na svetovnem spletu. Najprej se bomo posvetil mediju stripa na splošno, nato pa bomo raziskali, v kakšnih oblikah se strip pojavlja na medmrežju in kakšno kvaliteto pri tem dosega. Na podlagi zbranih podatkov se bomo odločili za obliko, ki najbolje učinkuje na spletu in je hkrati tudi najbolj priročna in nemoteča za bralčevo dojemanje zgodbe in vživljanje v pripoved. Na kratko si bomo ogledali tudi definicijo zgodbe in raziskali pravila njenega snovanja in strukture. Nadalje se bomo iz vidika teorije posvetili temi psihološkega stanja neodločnosti ter tako zasnovali zgodbo, ki jo bomo v nadaljevanju uporabili kot podlago za vizualno pripoved. Razvili bomo like ter vizualno podobo stripa, ter v izbrani obliki ustvarili svoj lasten spletni strip, ki ga bomo na koncu tudi javno objavili na spletu. In this master's thesis, we will focus on the issue of the appearance of comics on the World Wide Web. First, we will focus on the medium of comics in general. Then, we will investigate in what forms comics appear on the Internet and what quality they achieve in the process. Based on the collected data, we will decide on the format that works best online and is also the most convenient and unobtrusive for the reader's perception of the story and immersion with the narrative. We will also briefly look at the definition of a story and research the rules of its design and structure. Furthermore, we will focus on the topic of the psychological state of indecision from a theoretical point of view and, thus, design a story which we will use later as a basis for visual narration. We will develop the characters and visual appearance of the comic and create our own webcomic in the chosen form. At the end we will publish the comic online publicly.

V teoretičnem segmentu diplomskega dela sem opisal področje ilustracije in kategoriziral ilustracije praktičnega dela. Raziskal sem medij knjige umetnika in opravil analizo devetih primerov. Sklep analize mi je pomagal pri razvoju lastne knjige umetnika. Na kratko sem opisal tudi umetniško grafiko, predvsem monotipijo in njen postopek, ki sem ga uporabil pri praktičnem izdelku. Vsebina knjige umetnika »Teorija pojava«, ki sem jo izdelal v praktičnem segmentu diplomskega dela, se ukvarja z vizualno percepcijo, smislom, nesmislom in vsem vmes ter subvertiranjem pričakovanih vlog slike in besede. Oblika Teorije pojava spodkopava tradicionalno obliko knjige z zanimivo vezavo in razlikami v velikosti strani. The thesis consists of two parts – theoretical and practical. The theoretical part gives an overview of illustration and categorizes the practical part accordingly. I researched artists’ books and analysed nine examples, which were useful in developing ideas for my own artists’ book. I also described monotype, a kind of printmaking, which I used for my product. The practical product of my thesis is an artists’ book titled »Phenomenon theory«. It deals with visual perception, meaning, nonsense and everything in between, as well as subverting the expected roles of words and images. The artists' book breaks with the traditional form with an unconventional style of binding and non-uniform page sizing.

V diplomski nalogi bom preučila plakate in druge ilustrirane učne pripomočke s področja biologije. Poleg tega bom raziskala različne oblike znanstvene ilustracije in njeno rabo. Končni izdelek bo učni pripomoček, kombinacija plakata in zloženke z lastnimi ilustracijami. Zanimalo me bo, kakšno vlogo imajo učni pripomočki danes. In the bachelor's thesis, I will study posters and other illustrated educational accessories in the field of biology. Besides, I will research different forms of scientific illustration and their use. The final product will be an educational accessory, a combination of a poster and a leaflet containing my illustrations. I am interested in finding out what role educational accessories have today.

Diplomsko delo predstavlja ilustriranje in oblikovanje družabne namizne igre za pomoč otrokom pri izreki. Oblikovana igra je uporabna tako v sami obravnavi otrok z moteno izreko glasov, na začetku logopedske terapije, ko so otrok in starši v fazi prvega stika z logopedom, kot tudi kasneje, ko otrok z logopedom uri izreko določenega glasu. Prav tako pa se igra lahko uporablja tudi doma, ko starši z otrokom vadijo pravilno izreko glasu. Prva tri poglavja obravnavajo glavne vidike oblikovanja igre. Sprva definiram področje ilustracije in svoja dela uvrstim pod poljudnoznanstveno ilustracijo, saj ima igra definiran terapevtski namen. Diplomsko delo temelji na funkciji družabnih iger, zato se posvetim analizi družabnih iger. Del namenim tudi področju logopedije, logopedu in vlogi igre v logopedski obravnavi. Sledita pa poglavji, ki sta namenjeni idejni zasnovi igre in njenemu praktičnemu oblikovanju. V tem prvem delu opišem postopek zasnove in ustvarjanja praktičnega dela t. i. družabne igre Tisoč in ena pot. Postopek predstavim v celoti ⠒ od prve skice in maket do tehničnega oblikovanja igre. Družabna igra je torej igrivi pripomoček pri logopedski terapiji. S to družabno igro želim pomagati logopedu pri izvajanju logopedskih vaj in načrtovanju novih iger. My BA thesis presents the illustration and the design of a board game intended for children with difficulties in speech and sound production. The designed game is meant to be used in the starting point of the therapy, when children, their parents and the therapist are getting to know each other. The first three chapters discuss the main aspects of game design. Initially, I define the field of illustration and then classify my illustrations as popular-scientific illustrations, as the game has a defined therapeutic purpose. Since the thesis is based on the function of board games, I focused on the analysis of board games. In this first section, I also look into the field of Speech Therapy, Speech Therapists, and the role of play in speech therapy. The following two chapters expound the conceptual structure behind the game and its practical design. In this first part, I describe the process of designing and creating the practical section of the so called A Thousand and One Paths game. I present the process in its entirely: from the first sketch and mock-up to the technical design of the game. Ergo this board game is a playful tool in Speech and Language Therapy. With this board game, I wanted to create a game that will be able to help the therapists to conduct and execute Speech Therapy’s exercises and to plan new games.

V teoretskem izhodišču magistrskega dela definiramo polje ilustracije ter se osredinjamo na znanstveno ilustracijo, ki je imela ključni pomen pri poimenovanju, razvrščanju in raziskovanju živih bitij v obdobju velikih svetovnih odkritij 16. in 17. stoletja. Opredeljujemo pojem barvne nomenklature ter izpostavljamo nekatere ilustratorje, pomembne za razvoj naravoslovne znanosti in oblikovanje celostnega pogleda na biotsko raznolikost. V nadaljevanju se ukvarjamo z raziskovalci, avtorji prvih enciklopedij živega sveta, v katerih so predstavljali pridobljeno znanje in kamor so kot del stvarnosti vključevali tudi nekatera bitja fikcije. Med njimi se najpogosteje pojavljajo zmaji, izhodišče praktičnega dela magistrske naloge. Na podlagi definicij zmajev in njihove pojavnosti v različnih kulturah predstavljamo serijo ilustracij, ki osvetljujejo nekatere izmed zmajev v naravnih habitatih, opirajoč se na ilustratorske mojstre preteklih stoletij. Ilustracije predstavljajo temelj zmajske razstave, oblikovane po navdihu kabinetov čudes, ki so bili predhodniki današnjih muzejev. The theoretical part of the master's thesis defines the field of illustration, focusing on scientific illustration, which was of key importance in researching, naming and classifying living beings at the time of the great world discoveries in the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition, the text explains colour nomenclature and provides insight into the work of several illustrators who played a crucial part in the development of natural science and the formation of a holistic view on biodiversity. Furthermore, we present the researchers, authors of the earliest encyclopaedias about the living world, who even included some creatures of fiction as part of reality. The most commonly described beasts were dragons, the starting point of the practical part of this master's thesis. Based on the definitions of dragons and their manifestation in different cultures, we present a series of illustrations that depict some of the dragons in their natural habitats and draw on the works of some of the great illustrators of the previous centuries. The illustrations lay the foundation for the dragon exhibition, which was inspired by the cabinets of curiosities, the predecessors of today's museums.

V analitično-raziskovalnem delu diplomskega dela sem se seznanila s knjigo umetnika, raziskala njen pomen in namen ter prostor v zgodovini likovne umetnosti. Prav tako sem opisala in razčlenila izhodišča, s pomočjo katerih sem prišla do ugotovitev, ki so bile ključne za stvaritev in razvoj lastne knjige umetnika. Raziskala sem tudi področje umetniške grafike in opisala vsebinska izhodišča tematike spanja in sanj. V praktičnem delu sem izdelala lastno knjigo umetnika z naslovom >>S(p)anje<>S(p)anje<< (>>Sleep/Dreams<

Strip je zelo obsežna in priljubljena oblika pripovedovanja zgodb. V diplomskem delu se bom posvetila raziskovanju zgodovine stripa – komu je namenjen in kakšni so bili njegovi začetki. Raziskala bom žanre stripa ter posebej komični in detektivski strip. Svoje delo bom umestila v področje ilustracije. V analitično-raziskovalnem delu diplomskega dela bom poiskala avtorje tega žanra in jih analizirala, kar mi bo pomagalo pri izvedbi lastnega avtorskega stripa. Ciljna skupina pri mojem stripu bodo mladostniki. Posvetila se bom postopkom izdelave stripa od načrtovanja do končnega izdelka v obliki makete. V praktičnem delu bo posebna pozornost namenjena strukturiranju zgodbe ter zasnovi in ilustriranju glavnih junakov stripa. Želim si ustvariti detektivski strip, ki bo imel komični pristop. Comic books are a very extensive and popular form of storytelling. In my thesis, I will focus on researching the history of comics to whom it is intended and what its beginnings were. I will explore the genres of comics and especially humorous and detective comics. I will place my work in the field of illustration. I will find and analyze the authors of this comic genre in the analytical research part of the assignment, which will help me to create my own comic book. The target audience in my comics will be adolescents and young adults. I will focus on the process of making a comic book from the initial design to the final product, which will be in the form of a maquette. In the practical part, special attention will be paid to the story structure and the design and illustration of the main characters of the comic. I want to create a detective comic book that will have a comedic approach.

Magistrsko delo predstavlja ilustriranje in oblikovanje t. i. logopedske slikanice, primerne za logopedsko obravnavo otrok v predbralnem obdobju, katere pobudnici sta logopedinji Anja Bolarič in Sabrina Cirman. Teoretični del je razdeljen na dva dela. V prvem delu so predstavljeni oblike in zgradba slikanic, kriteriji za doseganje kakovosti le-teh ter vloga, ki jo imajo za otroke v predbralnem obdobju. Ilustracije v slikanicah vizualno pripovedujejo zgodbo, zato je v prvem delu tudi opis likovnega jezika, ki ga sestavljajo temeljne likovne prvine, likovne spremenljivke in prostorski ključi. V drugem delu je poudarek na logopediji ter pomenu in vlogi logopeda. Poudarjena je vloga raziskovanja učinkov skupnega branja staršev z otrokom ter kakšne knjige so za otroke v predbralnem obdobju primerne. V praktičnem delu pojasnimo, kako je potekalo delo z logopedinjama. ter opišemo postopek zasnove in ustvarjanja praktičnega izdelka, tj. logopedske slikanice Živjo, opici! Predstavljen je ustvarjalni postopek v celoti: od zgodborisa, oblikovanja glavnih likov in prostora do oblikovanja slikanice z izbiro formata, likovne tehnike, tipografije in naslovnice. Cilj je izdelati slikanico, ki ustreza potrebam logopedske obravnave. The master's thesis describes the process of illustrating and designing a picture book to be used in speech therapy for children in the pre-reading period. The project was initiated by speech therapists Anja Bolarič and Sabrina Cirman. The theoretical part is divided into two parts. The first part presents different forms and structure of picture books, the criteria for achieving good quality of picture books, and the role they play for children in the pre-reading period. The illustrations in the picture books tell the story visually, so the first part also contains a description of the visual language, consisting of basic visual elements, visual variables and visual gradients. The second part focuses on speech therapy itself and the importance and role of speech therapists. Further, we emphasize the importance of research into the effects of parent-child shared reading and suggest the kind of books that are appropriate for children during the pre-reading period. In the practical part we describe our work with speech therapists as well as the process of designing and creating a practical product, a speech-therapy picture book titled Hi, monkeys! The creative process is presented in its entirety: from the storyboard, through the conception of the main characters placed in their environment, to the actual design of the picture book with the choice of format, visual techniques, typography and cover. The goal is to design and ilustrate picturebook that will meet the standars of speech therapy.

V magistrskem delu se ukvarjam z izvedbo analogno-digitalne knjige brez besed. V teoretičnem delu obravnavam teme, ki so sestavni del knjižnega projekta in se navezujejo tako na njegovo realizacijo kot tudi na vsebino. V teoretičnem delu raziskujem pojme domišljijske ilustracije, likovnega jezika, branja podob in celostnega oblikovanja knjige, saj so to elementi, ki zahtevajo potrebno pozornost, da z njimi omogočamo prenos sporočila od ilustratorja k bralcu. Nadalje se posvetim definiciji interaktivnosti in pregledu že obstoječih interaktivnih knjig. Teme, pomembne za realizacijo knjižnega projekta, so ilustracija, knjiga brez besed in interaktivnost. Domišljija pa je tema, ki se nanaša na vsebinski del in sporočilnost knjige, zato poudarim njene pomembne lastnosti. V praktičnem delu pojasnim celoten proces nastajanja knjižnega projekta, od idejne zasnove do končne izvedbe. Opišem vsebino avtorske zgodbe, pripravo zgodborisa, razvoj protagonistov, izrazno tehniko in likovno analizo. Oblikovanje knjige zajema celostno izvedbo projekta, od grafičnega oblikovanja do vrste tiska in načina vezave. Pri digitalni nadgradnji pa razložim uporabo aplikacije in proces animiranja ilustracij. In the Master's thesis, I deal with the implementation of an analogue-digital wordless book. In the theoretical part, I discuss topics that are an integral part of the book project and relate to its realization and content. In this part, I explore the concepts of conceptual illustration, visual language, reading of images and the overall book design, as these are the elements that require the necessary attention to enable them to convey a message from the illustrator to the reader. Furthermore, I focus on defining interactivity and reviewing the existing interactive books. Topics relevant to the realization of the book project are illustration, a wordless book and interactivity. Imagination is a subject that pertains to the content and message of a book, so I emphasize its essential features. In the practical part, I explain the entire process of the book project, from the conceptual design to the final implementation. I describe the content of my authorial story, the preparation of the storyboard, development of the protagonists, expressive technique and visual analysis. Book design covers the overall execution of the project, from graphic design to print type and binding method. As far as the digital upgrade is concerned, I explain the use of the application and the process of animating illustrations.

V magistrskem delu se bom ukvarjal z vprašanjem ohranjanja kulturne identitete Istre oziroma enega njenih bolj spšecificnih delov. Ta del istrske kulture oziroma folklore, s katero se bom ukvarjal, je mit. V teoreticnem delu bom poskušal odgovoriti na vprašanje kaj je istrski mit. V prakticnem delu se bom ukvarjal z izdelovanjem ilustrirane knjige, ki je primerna za najstnike. In this master's thesis I will be dealing with the issue of preservation of the cultural identity of Istria. The main focus of the master's thesisi will be istrian myths. In the theoretical part I will try to answer the question, what is istran myth. In the practical part I will be dealing with the creation of an illustrated book suitable for teenagers.

Diplomsko delo je posvečeno ilustraciji, njeni vlogi posredovanja vizualne komunikacije, prikazu podob realnosti in domišljije, ki so izdelane v tehniki akvarela ter s svojimi živimi barvami, prosojnostjo in tonskimi poudarki sprožajo posebne občutke in pritegnejo gledalca. Zamislila sem si izdelavo ilustrirane Družabne knjige receptov Evropske unije, v kateri za vsako državo predstavljam po eno tradicionalno jed. Knjiga je namenjena družini, v ožjem in širšem pomenu, vsem članom družine, ki se družijo ob pripravi ali uživanju jedi doma, s prijatelji ali na potovanjih. Po izboru tradicionalnih jedi posameznih držav članic EU sem začela s postopkom ustvarjanja knjige. S poljudnoznanstvenimi ilustracijami želim informirati in pritegniti pozornost. Upoštevala sem tudi izbor tipografije, ki ima sama po sebi močan vizualen pomen. Naslovnico sem opremila s simboličnimi podobami kulinaričnih detajlov in s tem nakazujejo vsebino in sporočilo knjige. Za takšno knjigo sem se odločila tudi zato, da z raznolikostjo kulinaričnih receptov posameznih članic EU tudi na tak način prikažem evropsko družino. My thesis is dedicated to illustration, its role of applying visual communication and presenting images of reality and the imagination, that are created in the watercolour technique using vibrant colours, transparency and nuances to trigger special emotions and attract the viewer. I have envisioned the creation of an illustrated Social Book of Recipes in the European Union, in which I present one traditional dish for each country. The book is intended for a family, in the narrower and broader sense, for all members of the family, who enjoy preparing meals together at home, with friends or on trips. By employing a systematic approach and analysing a number of cookbooks, I found that the market is dominated by cookbooks, equipped with photographs. After selecting the traditional dishes of individual EU Member States, I began the book-making process. With popular-scientific illustrations I wish to inform and attract attention. I also took into account the choice of typography, which has a strong visual meaning in itself. I have chosen to illustrate the cover with symbolic images of culinary details indicating the book’s contents and message. Through such a book, full of diverse culinary recipes of individual EU Member States, I wished to portray the European family from this aspect, too.

V magistrskem delu obravnavam podajanje informacij o zgodovini s pomočjo ilustracije. Cilj je sodobnemu bralcu predstaviti zgodovinsko temo z ilustracijo, ki v vizualnem jeziku posnema značilnosti obravnavanega obdobja. Ukvarjam se s predstavitvijo obrambne arhitekture iz obdobja na prehodu iz srednjega v zgodnji novi vek. Za ta namen sem napisal vsebino, izdelal ilustracije, oblikoval in izdelal knjigo, ki po vseh značilnostih spominja na tiskane knjige iz zgodnjega 16. stoletja. Pri tem sem raziskal vse stopnje izdelovanja knjig v tem obdobju, jih teoretično opisal in znanje uporabil pri končnem izdelku. Za namen predstavitve ponaredka knjige, ki utegne biti potencialnemu bralcu na prvi pogled nerazumljiva, sem oblikoval še posebno publikacijo. Knjižica v obliki kataloga razloži pomen in vsebino ponaredka ter ga s tem postavi v pravi kontekst in približa bralcu. Pri pisanju vsebine kataloga sem si pomagal z nekaterimi ugotovitvami socialne psihologije, za vzor pri oblikovanju pa sem raziskal, kaj so skupne značilnosti različnih poljudnoznanstvenih in znanstvenih publikacij. Kot končni izdelek sta torej nastali dve knjigi. Obe se ukvarjata s problemom prepričevanja s pomočjo posnemanja tipičnih primerov iz izbranega področja. Z vsebino končnega izdelka želim pri bralcu vzbuditi dvom o poznavanju zgodovine in ga s tem vzpodbuditi k raziskovanju, poizvedovanju in preverjanju, posledično pa k učenju. In my master's thesis I discuss the conveying of information about history with the help of illustration. The goal is to present the historical theme to the reader using a type of illustration that imitates the characteristics of the chosen era. I want to present defensive architecture from the period of transition between middle and early modern ages. For this purpose I wrote the contents, made illustrations, designed and crafted a book that in all characteristics mimics printed books of the early 16th century. While doing this I researched all phases of making books, described them theoretically and used that knowledge to make a final product. For the purpose of presenting the fake book, which may be unintelligible to a potential reader, I made a special publication. A small book in form of a catalogue presents the contents, explains its meaning, and places the forged book in context, thus bringing it closer to the reader. While writing the contents of the catalogue I used some findings of social psychology, and while designig it, I studied the common characteristics of different scientific and popular scientific publications. As a final product I made two books, both of them dealing with the problem of persuasion by imitating the typical samples from the desired field. With the final products' contents I wish to cast doubt on readers' knowledge of history and thus encourage them to explore, research and investigate, learning by inference.

Magistrsko delo vsebuje sedem spominov oseb iz različnih kulturnih okolij. Spomini se navezujejo na njihove najljubše pravljice. Na dogodke, osebe in situacije v pravljicah, ki so jih zaznamovale še v odraslo življenje. Preko teoretičnega dela bodo spomini razčlenjeni skozi psihoanalizo in kot rezultat analize na novo upodobljeni v obliki ilustrativne knjige spominov. Vpogled v psihologijo in psihoanalizo ustvarjalnosti nas bo popeljal v boljše razumevanje analize praktičnega dela, ki bo vključevala morfologijo pravljice, psihološke analize arhetipov in simbolov v pravljicah ter pripovedništvo skozi različne kulture. Praktični del bo vseboval analizo postopka ilustriranja in tehnično izdelavo končne knjige. The master's degree includes seven memories of people from different cultural backgrounds. They wil connect to their favorite childhood memories. Events that happened, people and situations, that had an impact on their adult life. In the theoretical part, the memoires will be dissected through psychoanalysis, which will result in a newly designed illustrated book of memories. An insight into the psychology and psychoanalysis of creativity will lead us to a better understanding of the analysis of practical work, which will include morphology of fairy tales, psychological analysis of archetypes and symbols in fairy tales, and narration through different cultures. The practical part will include an analysis of the illustration process and the technical production of the final book.

V diplomski nalogi smo se ukvarjali z ustvarjanjem habitatne ilustracije, v kateri smo upodobili reko Muro in njene mrtvice in vse značilne ţivalske ter rastlinske vrste. Prav tako smo ilustrirali tri posamične ogroţene ţivali in dve rastlini, ki so značilne za okolico Mure. Hipoteza naše diplomske naloge trdi, da habitatna ilustracija lahko pripomore k ozaveščanju o pomembnosti okolja. V teoretičnem delu smo raziskovali področje habitatne ilustracije. Raziskovali smo zgodovino habitatne ilustracije in našteli nekaj pomembnejših avtorjev iz zgodovine, prav tako pa tudi sodobne avtorje. Analizirali smo njihova dela in iz njih poskusili izvleči skupne značilnosti zgodovinskih in sodobnih del. My bachelor thesis centres on creating a wildlife illustration portraying the Mura river, its oxbow lakes and typical flora and fauna. I illustrate four separate endangered species that are typical for the habitat of the Mura river. The hypothesis I explore in the thesis states that wildlife illustrations can help people become aware of the importance of the environment. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I research the domain of wildlife illustration as well as its history and list some of the more important historical and modern authors of such works. I analyse their works and extract their common characteristics.

Magistrsko delo v svojem prvem delu obravnava manj znano knjižno-oblikovalsko polje in uporabo analogne interaktivne tehnike ombro v znanstveni knjižni ilustraciji. Poleg obravnave in raziskovanja omenjene tehnike se delo vsebinsko ukvarja z interaktivnim knjižnim projektom, ki zajema celovit pregled izumrlih orjaških sesalcev, ki so živeli v obdobju kenozoika. Delo želi bolje opredeliti uporabo analognih interaktivnih tehnik za rabo v knjižni ilustraciji in v učne namene. Namen teoretičnega dela magistrskega dela je študija tehnike ombro, praktični del pa zajema enciklopedični pregled megafavne kenozoika v formi zaokroženega knjižnega projekta, opremljenega z interaktivnimi znanstvenimi ilustracijami. Knjižna publikacija torej sega na polje znanstvene ilustracije. Opremljena je z interaktivnimi analognimi ilustracijami v tehniki ombro, ki omogoča gibljiv prikaz nekaterih karakteristik, aktivnosti, stanj in življenja teh živali. Cilj dela je izdelati knjižni projekt, ki je sestavljen iz 19 znanstvenih ilustracij v tehniki tiska s prenosom podobe (transfer printmaking) in svinčnika, te pa nadgraditi z izsledki študije analogne interaktivne tehnike ombro. The master’s thesis initially discusses the less known field of book design and the use of the ombro analogue interactive technique in scientific literary illustration. In addition to discussing and exploring the aforementioned technique, it also touches upon an interactive literary project concerning a complete overview of extinct large mammals that lived in the cenozoic era. The thesis proposes to better define the use of analogue interactive techniques for use in literary illustration and education. The purpose of the theoretical section of the thesis is a study of the ombro technique. The practical section of the thesis presents an encyclopaedic overview of the cenozoic megafauna in the form of a complete literary project with scientific and interactive illustrations. The book publication is an example of scientific illustration. It will contain analogue interactive illustrations in the ombro technique that offer mobile presentations of certain characteristics, activities, states and lives of these animals. The aim of the thesis is to produce a literary project containing 19 scientific illustrations produced using transfer printmaking techniques and pencil, supplemented by the results of a study of the analogue interactive ombro technique.

V analitično raziskovalnem delu naloge bomo definirali ilustracijo ter vanjo umestili ilustrirano knjigo Zgodbe z Loma. Zgodbe iz otroštva ge. Angele Jan bomo zgodovinsko in prostorsko opredelili ter raziskali družbene razmere v okolici Topolšice na polovici 20. stol. Ker so v zgodbah uporabljene tudi narečne besede, bomo raziskali značilnosti srednjesavinjskega narečja, v katero spada kraj dogajanja. V praktičnem delu bomo gradili idejno zasnovo, raziskovali izrazne tehnike, določili velikost ilustracij, raziskali simbolne pomene barv skozi čas in v različnih kulturah ter izdelali ilustracije. Končni izdelek bo zbirka zgodb, ilustrirana v knjigi. The purpose of the analytical research section of this thesis is firstly to define what an illustration is. This definition will then be used to analyse the illustrated book Stories from Lom. Mrs Angela Jan’s childhood stories will then be placed in a historical and geographical context and furthermore, the social conditions around the village Topolšica during the middle of the 20th century will also be analysed. Since the stories use several words from the local dialect, the characteristics of the dialect in the central Savinjska region, where the stories take place, will be examined as well. In the practical section of this thesis, we will build the concept, research expressive techniques, set the size of the illustrations, research the symbolic meaning of colours through history and in different cultures and produce the actual illustrations. The end product will be a book of stories with illustrations.

V tem diplomskem delu sem razloţil, kaj ilustracija sploh je, in opisal zvrsti ilustracij, na katere se moje delo nanaša. Podrobneje sem se lotil opisa konceptne ilustracije, ki predstavlja praktični del mojega dela. Pokazal sem primere in predstavil različne avtorje, ki so se povzpeli na vrh igralske industrije s svojimi ilustratorskimi deli. Zaţeleno oziroma najbolj popularno medijsko sredstvo pri konceptni ilustraciji je računalnik. Večina del v konceptni ilustraciji se izvaja digitalno v programu Photoshop, zato sem tudi opisal, kakšne vrste digitalne ilustracije poznamo in kakšne lastnosti imajo. Za tem je prišel na vrsto raziskovalni del, v katerem sem na kratko predstavil srednji vek, kako se je razvila viteška kultura, nato sem posamezne vrste oklepov tudi opisal in naredil kratek pregled. Na koncu pa je prišel na vrsto opis praktičnega dela, kjer sem navedel, kako sem začel delo in idejno zasnovo. Popeljal sem vas čez podroben postopek izdelave oklepa oziroma viteza v programu Photoshop ter zapisal, kako sem oblikoval osnovno karto zanj. Opisal sem tudi, na kakšen način sem naredil končno key art ilustracijo in oblikoval zgibanko, na kateri se bo ta tudi pojavila. In my thesis I will explain what illustration even is and talk about different types of illustration that relate to my work. I'll go more in-depth describing concept art, which my practical work consists the most of. You will be shown different examples and also authors, which have, in the gaming industry, worked their way up the ladder with their work. The preffered, or rather, the most popular medium in concept art, is a computer. Most works in concept art are made digitally in the program Photoshop, that is why I will also brief you on the types of digital illustrations and their properties. After that comes the research part of my work. I will take you on a short trip through the middle ages, where you will get to know how the knight culture came to be. Then, you will read about the different types of armor they used and see their overveiw. At the end comes the description of my practical work. Here you will find more about how I started with my work and came up with the initial design. I will take you through my work process of creating a suit of armor, or rather, a knight, in the program Photoshop and how I designed the basic card on which these knights will be displayed on. You will also see how I made the final key art illustration and the layout for the pamphlet on which this illustration will also be shown.
