Comparison of graphical interface of Blesk from 1933 and 2012
Mojžíšová, Marcela ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Slanec, Jaroslav (referee)
This paper "Comparison of Blesk's graphic pages of 1993 and 2012" deals with the analysis of best-selling graphic presentation of the Czech tabloid Blesk. The first part is devoted to general visual characteristics of printed materials. This theoretical framework is important to determine the area under the examination and definition of the key terms which I work with in the practical part. Comparing the visual aspects of Blesk from 1993 and 2012, I selected one week from each or five issues from the daily of one week (Monday - Friday). The subsequent analysis focuses on the overall visual aspect of particular issues (format, size, margins) and the sub-characters used such as a color photograph, the arrangement of the parts with an emphasis on the title page, the title of establishment and the usage of other graphic accessories. After the description of typographic character of each period separately I focus on the chapter. The aim is to compare two files and investigate the changes that have occurred in the course of nineteen years, if there are any. The conclusion is dedicated to my personal impression from the selected material of two years and evaluates the contribution of this work.

Typography of the monthly maganize žena a móda (1949-1995)
Maňasová, Martina ; Slanec, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
The thesis "Typography of the monthly magazine Žena a móda (1949-1995)" deals with the graphical appearance of this magazine and describes the changes in its typography. Magazine ran from January 1949 to July 1995, when it was cancelled because of financial difficulties. The aim of this thesis is to divide the years of Žena a móda's existence into periods, depending on its specific graphical appearance. This bachelor thesis outlines the historical context, technical conditions and the influence the Marxism-Leninism had on the graphic design. Moreover, the basic vocabulary of typographical terms is included. The thesis analyses the graphical appearance of the magazine periodically, with the focus on physical qualities, typesetting, typeface, headlines, front pages or advertisement. Furthermore, the graphical appearance of the world's most famous magazines is outlined briefly towards the end of the thesis, as well as the magazine's competition after 1989. The pictures are added to some of the chapters. Keywords Typography, graphic design, fashion, magazine, design, typesetting, typeface, front page, paragraph, headline, illustration, photography

Notes on Günther's edition of Melanchton's Latin Grammar
Pišna, Jan
The present paper focuses on the Rajhrad copy of Melanchthon’s Latin Grammar which\noriginated in Günther’s printing works in Prostějov ante quem 1560. Comparison with the first known fully preserved and, above all, dated edition from 1560 as well as with other known copies described by us already in 2012 will reveal we are dealing with the first local adaptation of this grammar and the 1560 edition represents its more detailed and completed version. Rajhrad edition then served as a model for unauthorized reprint originating in the Melantrich’s printing works in the 1560s.

Typography and typeset technical documents in XeTeX
KOCUR, David
In my thesis, I will deal with typographic Unicode extension of technology TeX XeTeX, which support special charset for fonts of most world's languages, it also enables support for font technologies like TrueType and OpenType. I shall then address the history of develop of XeTeX and his implementation into the TeX. I will also closely test functionality and typographical correctness of special charsets and comparison with usage of common text editors which is seeking to address similar issues with charsets. Part of the work itself will also be drawn up in the XeTeX, which demonstrates the practical use and the functionality of this extension.

CASTLE ZDISLAVICE - CONCEPT OF RECOVERY OF CULTURAL MONUMENTS
Valentová, Veronika ; Pospíšil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The task of this thesis is the concept of restoration of the castle Zdislavice and its new use as a literary hotel, focusing on the personality of a prominent Austrian writer Marie Ebner-Eschenbach, née Dubská. My goal was to find use, which could be revived and could thus be preserved for future generations. Thanks to the personality of the writer, I decided to create site devoted to literature. I designed hotel for literary enthusiasts, linguists, copywriters and professionals. But also for visitors who are interested in the person of Marie Ebner-Eschenbach. There is also a restaurant, a literary cafe with an associated museum of the writer, chapel, banquet halls with potential uses for conference and library (three libraries). Part of the area is used as a park. It is designed as an English park, but part of the area closest to the castle is designed as a French garden. The tomb of Marie Ebner-Eschenbach is near the castle and is accessible via a staircase. Connection between tomb and castle is shown in the situration plan.

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.

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.
