Comparison of Selected Promotional Posters and Works of Socialist Realism from 1946-1956 from a Gender Perspective
Halouzková, Anna ; Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Michlová, Magdaléna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the depiction of women in communist propaganda posters and works of socialist realism from 1946-1956. My main research aim was to find out how the depictions of women in posters and paintings differ from each other and how they are similar. I used content analysis and social semiotic analysis in my work. Both media have the same purpose, from which they both share a simplistic method of depiction. Furthermore, both media have in common that they portray more men than women. Further, both groups predominantly depict women in childcare. The differences between the two are more numerous. Posters and paintings work differently with the collective and most often take place in different settings. The different activities that women most often perform in posters or paintings are then derived from these. They also differ in the number of women depicted and the type of perspective used. Another difference is the work with the collective, which is used differently in both sets. The last difference is the difference in the portrayal of the roles of men and women.

The Elf's Cookbook
Trčková, Štěpánka ; Šrámek, Jan (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with creating a comprehensive set of original illustrations complemented by text. The illustrations are intended to convey information from the gastronomy domain of a fictional world of elves providing a detailed insight into a specific segment of that world. While there are many works in audiovisual media and literature focusing on the world of elves there is a lack of in-depth analysis of the gastronomy theme in this world. This thesis aims to fill that gap by presenting my own interpretation. It consists of a set of illustrations conveying how according to my vision elf cuisine might appear. Furthermore the thesis also focuses on the technical aspects of illustration and printing which are integral parts of the coherence of the work.

The Rings
Cendelínová, Kateřina ; Záhora, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The project with the title “The Rings” is a simple card game designed for two players. The theme and content of the game is thematically related to rings, which I have been working on for a long time (also on the material level of jewellery making). The card game can be played by players of any age, but I primarily targeted preschool and school-age children. The aim of my bachelor thesis is to introduce children to the craft of ring making in a fun way. An important element of the visual part of the game is the recognition of the images (illustrations) and their correct composition. This leads to the application of stylized drawings that illustrate selected parts of the ring-making process.

Cholín publication
Krejčová, Kristýna ; Franta, Jiří (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
In short, my aim of this work is to introduce a unique place connected with my childhood – Cholín – by the media of comics and to outline its unusual social structure. I am trying to achieve this goal differently than by collecting data and structuring them. Instead of that, I create stories based on reality. My inspiration comes from oral narration and literary sources that have been published by members of the Cholín community. In parallel, I work with a local urban legend named Kvakev which is becoming a central figure. With her help, the comics are changing into a fictional document balancing between reality and imagination.

History of music
Janeba, Jakub ; Čumlivski,, Jan (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
In the book History of Music, the reader learns about music through all epochs of humanity (from prehistory to the present) in a simple, comprehensive way. The book is illustrated to entertain both small and large readers who appreciate the quality of the workmanship. The text in the book is processed in structured info-blocks, profiles of musicians and short poems, serving as a mnemonic aid. As part of my bachelor's thesis, I deal with a graphic concept, illustration, the concept of publishing a book, the preparation of a sales e-shop.

Beetle armour
Polášková, Lucie ; Ryška, Pavel (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the creation of an author's accordion book, examining the relationship between textual and pictorial communication of information. The narrative is thematically set in the stylized realm of insects, where it works with the metaphor of the exoskeleton of the beetle as a portable armor, architecture, or outline. The fictional story deals with the life cycle of a beetle. He wonders how beetles are born and how do they leave the world? The aim of my bachelor thesis is the realization of an atypical prototype of an accordion book, which is located on the border of a building kit, a toy and a book. The realization of the prototype will use traditional techniques, including digitization and image post-production.

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.
