The basis for my diploma thesis has been an important topic of human co-existence with natural habitat. I have focused on a human being in a traditional society where our Slovenian ancestors of old Slovenian religion belonged as well. Because the old Slovenian religious way of life is revealed through symbols, myths, and rituals, connected with the annual cycle, I have decided to design and illustrate a weekly planner for the year 2022 where I inform the user with the traditions. Due to extensiveness and spreading of data about the old Slovenian religion, I have chosen 12 topics, connected with annual cycle, which I have illustrated and placed in the planner.
The idea of connection between ancestors of old Slovenian religion and natural processes coincides with illustrations, which have been in the making through experimenting (refining of paper with natural materials, such as coffee). Illustrations are marked by organic forms, which support the content.
The goal of the diploma thesis has been to draw the world closer to the user in the way our ancestors understood it and to induce interest for further researching of the mysterious side of our history.
