Czech developers and mobile platforms
Alexandre, Berenika ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Huněk, Filip (referee)
This Master's degree thesis deals with a specific area of creative industries: development of mobile applications. The aim is to identify and understand the work routines of Czech iOS developers while considering the importance of design as one of the benchmarks of mobile application quality on the Apple App Store. I mainly focus on mapping work routines of selected developers and their thinking about design in the context of Apple devices and iOS platform, assuming that Apple establishes a high standard of visual and functional qualities. I am addressing an issue of application usability not only in terms of design of the user interface, but also its functioning and more aspects of application development within the ecosystem of Czech mobile app industry. The theoretical part of my thesis subjectively describes fundamental concepts from the mobile app development field and theories related to the topic. Empirical part of the study is based on qualitative interviews with 9 Czech mobile app developers and following thematic analysis. This study can serve as an interesting resource of understanding of the work of Czech mobile app developers, how they think about design and Apple as a platform or as a solid foundation for further quantitative investigation to confirm or revise my findings.

Hofman, Jiří ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Ždimera, Jan (referee)
Author of the dissertation compares usual working routines of photojournalist in analog and in digital era. The dissertation describes both the technology used, the approach of photojournalists and the influence which the technology and the approach have on the final image production. The thesis is to demonstrate by using concrete examples of photographic practice that the routine work has changed in digital era. The main research method used to prove this proposition is method of in-depth interviews with photographic professionals. The dissertation describes three phases of photojournalist`s routine work: preparations, photography and subsequent image processing. Author of the dissertation compares methods commonly used in analog era and standard methods used in digital era. In the main part, the author provides a description of the changes which followed the process of digitization and applies them to specific standards of journalism. The most important changes considered are the possibility of immediate control of photographic production and also the processing of digital images instead of traditional chemical process in the darkroom. Author points out that thanks to this transformation the production of journalistic images was accelerated and he also shows examples where this transformation led...
