It also shows diverse possibilities of creating a physical product - printed matter. These procedures are an issue of a paramount importance in the preparation and production of a dictionary. An analysis of existing dictionaries and manuals is included, primarily as a starting point for the most optimal organization of design. In the experimental part, all the knowledge gained is used in the design and production of a dictionary of The Prlekija Dialect, in which 125 dialect words are presented on 40 pages, primarily intended for the visitors of the Prlekija. The dictionary is enriched with illustrations, photographs and two comics. The appropriateness of the dictionary and the presentation of individual words has been verified through an online questionnaire, completed by 69 respondents. The purpose and goal of the master's thesis is the presentation of the Prlekija dialect, landscape, customs and people in an understandable and alluring way. In addition, some (new) findings are interesting regarding design, choice of methods and materials, mechanisms of manufacture, archiving, and cost calculations of printed brochures.
