The goal of the thesis was a properly designed and finished baby diary for twins with the corresponding packaging, which would work both for distribution and protection.
The thesis consists of two sections. In the first part, we explained the importance of child development and children's milestones, described the characteristics of printed materials intended for children, and described the theoretical properties of the elements used for printed diaries and packaging. We focused on the appropriate colors, materials, formats, printing techniques and finishing methods. We also researched baby diaries on the Slovenian market and compared in more detail three that we found useful and well-designed.
The content of the second section begins with the selection of suitable software applications and materials for both products. We used a set of Adobe programs and the Sketchup program, with the help of which we designed our products. For the production of graphic products, we used 120 g uncoated paper and 3 mm cardboard. Following is a description of the methods used in the work processes, which are planning, design and finishing of our final graphic products. These are illustration, design, printing and finishing. The following are the product manufacturing procedures. After that, the design process is described in the discussion, and both the types of journal pages and the packaging prototype are presented. We also show and evaluate the results of a survey on the usability of the diary and the packaging. The result of the thesis is a physically produced »Baby Diary for Twins«, which is appropriately designed for the target group, suitable for long-term use, with panels that, along with the packaging, protect the inside of the diary. In the end, the thesis contains a presentation of the two final products in the form of photographs.
