Ink
Vomelová, Lenka ; Rydval, Michal (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
-ink- ink is a small independent publishing house, that is aiming to publish student-written literature with graphic design and illustrations made by young designers and artists. Main goal of the publishing house is to support, execute and spread projects of young, not yet estabilished authors and artists and thus develop the contemporary art scene. The visual identity of the publishing house is left open, it is going to be created in time by the books that are going to be published by ink. The logo is often used as a background to posters, or a stamp over photographs. I'm letting the content to speak for it's brand, not the logo. I created business cards, bookmarks, a stamp, wrapping papers that are used for parcels as well as a background for posters, and stickers. Novel Devil Novel Devil is a first book published by ink. Author of the book is Jan Smutný, recent graduate of Faculty of Fine arts in Brno. Illustration and the overall design of the book are made by me. The design is inspired by gothic books written in textura or bastarda and illustrated with woodcuts. My aim was to create a book clearly referencing this visuality, but not a „retro“ or a historicist book. I tried to create a classical book with a modern twist. That's why I chose new, modern typefaces Enigma and Lapture and the illustrations are just vector lines. Because of the theme I work only with black and and background white colour. The book was published in 200 copies.

Imaginary Solutions, Imaginary Reports
Vomelová, Lenka ; Kopečková, Veronika (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
I created three concepts of books, three possible graphic and book design adaptations of one novel (Tibor Déry, Imaginary reportage of american pop-festival, Budapest 1971). Every book uses a different theme from the book as an inspiration for its graphic design and every book has also a different aimed usage ( format and material of the books are created according to this presumption). First of the book concepts is a little hardy pocket book inspired by Rolling Stones and Altamont festival 1969, the second is common „publisher's“ book inspired by vizuality of 60's and the third one is a bibliophilia, collector's piece inspired by a story of two people. All the books are accompanied with posters describing the basic components and concepts.

(Czech) Photography in the design of book covers in the 1960´s
BOLKOVÁ, Petra
Petra Bolková will be examining in her thesis the evolution of photography used on book covers in the 1960s; the period marked with certain political and cultural liberation. This study will attempt describing systematically in what ways certain artists and writers collaborated and what the difficulties of these collaborations were. It will also be examined how the author of a book and the artist delegated to design the book cover; the initial advertisement for a book, were influencing each other. What is more, the extent to which the graphic art reflects the content of the written word will be studied. Book covers became a covert space for experimenting with or even establishing new trends in the 1960s. Books covers became a new, independent fine art discipline which, essentially, was censored or criticized only occasionally. The goal of this thesis will also be gradually finding the numerous common grounds between photography, book typography and the final design, as photography and photomontage were used on book covers more frequently then classic original illustrations. Last but not least, this thesis will be looking at what emphasis was put on the visual side and how it was conditioned culturally or politically ect.

This thesis deals with the book Angels and Demons both its external appearance, illustrations, and its part of the content. It is divided into theoretical and practical. In the first half of the theoretical part deals with the book and its historical context in the real world. The second addresses the development of book illustration in all stages of humanity itself, and modern developments of our time to design books. The practical part describes the materials, techniques and how to troubleshoot a thesis.
