Slikanica za slabovidne – od ideje do predloge za tisk

Rajar, Teja (author), Urbas, Raša (mentor)

Slepota in slabovidnost sta okvari vida, ki lahko prizadeneta vsakogar. Lahko se pojavita kot bolezen že pri rojstvu, lahko se razvijeta pozneje zaradi različnih zdravstvenih dejavnikov, lahko pa sta tudi posledica nesreče. Oseba z oslabljenim vidom svet zaznava drugače kot polnočutna oseba, še posebej pa se to odraža pri otrocih nižje starostne skupine. Otrok z odraščanjem raziskuje svet in okolico, na kar imajo velik vpliv tudi slikanice, s pomočjo katerih se otroci, tako polnočutni kot slabovidni, učijo in raziskujejo. Gradivo, namenjeno osebam z oslabljenim vidom, je treba primerno vizualno ter vsebinsko prilagoditi. Prilagoditve se vršijo po priporočilih, ki so jih ustvarili strokovnjaki s področja oblikovanja gradiva za slepe in slabovidne. Žal je tovrstnega gradiva izredno malo, še posebej za otroke nižje starostne skupine. S tem namenom smo v okviru diplomskega dela oblikovali slikanico, ki je vizualno in vsebinsko prilagojena otrokom z oslabljenim vidom. Želeli smo ustvariti izdelek, s katerim se bo otrok lahko učil, hkrati pa bo zanj tudi zanimiv. Pri oblikovanju smo upoštevali priporočila in navodila različnih raziskav in dobrih primerov, ustvarjenih do sedaj. Cilj diplomskega dela je bil grafično pripraviti slikanico, namenjeno slabovidnim otrokom, v kateri je predstavljena skupina petih živali, ki običajno prebivajo na kmetiji. V diplomskem delu je predstavljen razvoj prilagoditve izhodiščnih fotografij v ustrezno prilagojene ilustracije, ki so bile uporabljene v slikanici, navezujoč se na napisano vsebino. Rezultat diplomskega dela je za tisk ustrezno pripravljena grafična predloga slikanice za tehniko digitalnega tiska.

• Title: Picture book for visually impaired – from idea to graphic prepress design

Abstract

Blindness and visual impairment are conditions, that can affect many. They can manifest as birth defects, or later in life as a result of different medical reasons or injuries. People with visual impairment sense the world differently than fully sensual people, especially children in their early years. While children are growing, they’re exploring the world and the environment. At this period picture books have a big influence on children, visually impaired or not, as they learn through and with them while exploring the world. Literature intended for people with visual impairment has to be properly adjusted visually and textually. Adjustment guidelines come from experts’ and professionals’ recommendations that deal with designing the literature for blind and visual impaired. There is not much material in this field of literature, especially for children in the lower age group. The purpose of this thesis was to design a picture book, which content would be visually and textually adjusted for children with visual impairment. We wanted to create a book, that could be used for learning, and ad the same time fun and interesting. While designing the children’s picture book we considered the recommendations and instructions of proffesionals and good examples that exist. The goal of this thesis was to properly prepare the digital version of the picture book, designed for children with visual impairment. The narrative of the picture book features a group of five animals, that live on a farm. In the thesis the development of illustrations from pictures of animals based on their story line is presented. The result of the thesis is a graphical document of the picture book prepared for digital print.
