Poetry Collection Design

Poezija je del literarnega ustvarjanja, s katerim pesnik prenaša svoje misli v pesniški postavitvi. Zaradi raznolikosti pesmi in načina njihove predstavitve oblikovanje pesniških zbirk sodi med težja dela. Oblikovanje zato od oblikovalca terja veliko truda in kreativnega razmišljanja, da uspe pripraviti ustrezno oblikovalsko rešitev, ki bo zadovoljila potrebe avtorja dela in bralca. Namen diplomskega dela je bil izdelati oblikovalsko rešitev pesniške zbirke, kjer bi zapisano poezijo tudi ustrezno vizualno predstavilitj. s primerno pisavo, ustrezno postavitvijo grafičnih elementov ter uporabo fotografije ali drugih ilustrativnih elementov za podkrepitev sporočilnosti. Poezija, za katero smo izdelovali ustrezno grafično upodobitev, ima svobodno obliko, v kateri gre predvsem za lirsko izražanje čustev. Tematika pesmi se giblje od ljubezenskih in osebnostnih, pa do družbeno kritičnih. Vsem je skupen temačen in kompleksnejši način izražanja. Analizirali smo obstoječe pesniške zbirke s podobno tematiko poezije in slogom oblikovanja. Pri oblikovanju smo se opirali na analizo notranje in zunanje zgradbe poezije ter rezultate spletne ankete o odnosu bralcev do poezije. Začeli smo z digitalnimi idejnimi skicami in nato nadaljevali z izdelavo ustreznih ilustrativnih elementov pesmi – fotografijami. Na podlagi skic in analize poezije je nastala oblikovalska rešitev pesniške zbirke, ki smo jo nato pripravili še za tisk.Poetry is a type of literature that conveys a poet’s thoughts in a concentrated, lyrical arrangement of words. Designing Poetry collections is one of the most difficult tasks for designers, because of the variety of poems and the way they are presented on paper. Design therefore requires a lot of effort and creative thinking from the designer to be able to create an appropriate design solution that will meet the needs of both, the author, and the reader. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to create a poetry book design, where the written poetry would also be suitably visually presented, i.e. with appropriate usage of type, proper layout of graphic elements and photography or other illustrative elements, to reinforce the message of the poem. The poems in poetry book we have been designing are freeform lyrical, conveying emotions and feelings of the poet. The theme of the poems ranges from love, confessional to socially critical. All poems have in common a darker and more complex way of expression. We analyzed existing poetry collections with a similar poetry style and graphic design. In designing, we relied on an analysis of the internal and external structure of the written poetry, and the results of an online survey of readers attitudes toward poetry. We started with digital conceptual sketches and then continued to create the appropriate illustrative elements of the poems - photographs. Based on the sketches and analysis of poems, a design solution for the poetry collection has been made and prepared for printing
