The thesis examines the process of designing and producing traditional books and e-books, with the primary goal of analyzing the differences between printed and digital books and determining how design decisions affect the user experience.
The research results showed that printed books provide a richer sentimental experience and lasting value, while e-books offer greater flexibility, interactivity, and easy distribution. We found that elements such as readability, consistency of presentation, and appropriate content adaptation to the chosen theme have a strong impact on the reader's user experience.
In the experimental part of the research, we conducted an in-depth analysis on key design elements such as text structure, typeface, page layout, illustrations, color schemes, and content adaptability across various formats. We examined existing publications, carried out comparative analyses, and tested various design approaches, through which we developed guidelines that we used to design our own traditional book and e-book.
The final conclusion is that thoughtful design and production significantly impact the user experience for both printed and digital publications. The guidelines established in this thesis can contribute to improving design practices and developing new approaches that enhance the functionality and visual appeal of printed and digital books. Regardless of the current state, the evolution of books continues to change, making it essential to monitor trends and adapt design strategies to new technological and user requirements.
