Their basic is that game is not a human invention but exist independently in interaction with human or animal. They defined the game with characteristics and tried to categorize it. Further is an overview of the game as a cultural factor through different historical ages. The second part of the diploma is about graphic design. There are presented theoretical principles of graphic design. Based on those principles we analyzed some graphic examples from history. The last part of the diploma is a merge of the first two.
