The main focus in diploma thesis was acquisition of the text and image material of the history and development of company Donit. We collected, edited and presented information in a new publication.
We selected Donit because of its rich history and the desire to explore in the environment we know. The literature reviews shows that no publication has been published on Donit since 1989. From 1960 to 1989 a monthly magazine was published and it was a great help in our research because it represented a rich source of information. There were practically no company records available before 1960, which is why we obtained information primarily from newspaper sources. We acquired photographs in the Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia and linked them with the information obtained to form a story in an aesthetically composed graphic product.
In the theoretical part we described the information sources, the importance of archiving photographs, and the archiving through digitization. We described the graphic prepress process, while the important elements in the preparation were primarily typography, color and composition, which we combined and presented in the experimental part of the diploma thesis. The research was carried out in the following phases: collecting materials about Donit (printed and electronic resources, image material), analysis and information editing, selection and definition of chapters, text preparation and selection of photographs, graphic design and preparation of a publication for printing.
The result of our work is the history of Donit from the beginning of operation in 1947 to today in an aesthetic useful graphic product.
