The main intention of the thesis is to create a series of film posters, with a focus on the visualisation of the rich oeuvre of film director Karpo Godina. In the theoretical part, through the observation of available sources and the literature reviewed, we create a textual overview of the gradual formation and final disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and its cultural-artistic production under the political pressures of the time. Within this conceptual framework, we locate the period of the "Yugoslav Black Cinema", the film movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, and define the success of its production and the key post-production category for us – the design of the film poster. In the practical part, we designed a series of four film posters linked to short films by Karpo Godina (I Miss Sonia Henie (1971), Gratinated brains of Pupilia Ferkeverk (1970), About Art of Love or a Film with 14441 Frames (1972) and Healthy People for Fun (1971)). Because his films touch upon both the repressive organism of the former Yugoslav institutions and criticize the main ideologies of socialism at the time, they prove to be extremely meaningful in terms of understanding the political-social as well as artistic sphere of the time and, with it, the field of visual communication design. The above served as the basis for the conception of the posters and the attempt to introduce subversive and conceptual elements in the seemingly innocent context of designing a post-production material – a poster.
