Live typeface
Jiříček, Milan ; Špiřík, Jan (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
The work describes the theoretical foundations of modern methods of creating new fonts, that is, using information technology, specifically vector programs. It also marginally shows the history of the font, Roman writing, the basic division of its compositions and describes its individual elements. The next part of the project focuses on creating digital fonts and continues with bringing it to live using algorithms and methods that can easily be processed in Matlab programming language. The method of implementation of the bringing the typeface to live is described and presentation of the generated results are then shown in few examples. Attention is also paid to the coordinates system, which is very important to solve geometric transformations, and two-dimensional vector graphics, which are widely used in the design and to render the fonts. Bézier curves and cubic Bézier curves are described in further detail along with vector graphics rasterization. One part of this text describes very important de Casteljau algorithm. The last chapter focuses on implementation in Matlab programming language, the creation of curves, that means single font characters, and the ways of how the algorithm works with transformations. Some sample images showing transformations using different input arguments are displayed in this section as well. There is evaluation of the contribution of this application and the possibilities of further expansion at the end.

Postcards and photos in the transformation of Brno city
Neufus, Zuzana ; Sekyrková, Milada (advisor) ; Dobeš, Jan (referee)
The aim of this theses is using postcards and photographs to follow the urbanisational development of Brno's city center, comparing the contemporary reality and capturing the picture of society of that time, including its everydayness. It also involves an outline of important moments on the background of ongoing historical events of the 19th and 20th century. For studying and sorting of the visual resources, contemporary materials from Brno's archive collections and images from the official internet sites of the city and private collections have been used. The focused object is today known as the Square of Freedom in Brno. The theses pays attention to its changes and developments throughout the two centuries. This is observed through the postcards and photographs which have been further compared and described.

Districts and places of Paris in the course of history: the Marais
Škopová, Zuzana ; Kalfiřtová, Eva (advisor) ; Müllerová, Eva (referee)
Title of the thesis: Districts and places of Paris in the course of history: the Marais Keywords: Paris, district, Marais, century, street, palace, museum, personality Abstract: The bachelor's thesis is occupied with one of the eldest Parisien districts, titled the Marais. The aim of the thesis is to illuminate the socio-cultural specifics of the district, which distiguish it from other parts of Paris. The thesis is divided into three main chapters, which, progressively, try to clarify the formation and the development of the Marais, geographic division and delimitation of this urban area and its most important historical monuments, frequently corresponding to the cultural heritage of France and subsequently, the impacts on the Marais, forming its character in the past as well as in the present. The emphasis in this part is put on prominent personalities associated with the district, primarily residing at the square Place des Vosges and its neighbourhood, and on the community of Jews whose presence in the area is due to historical development.
