Oblikovanje in izdelava personaliziranega planerja

Planer je tiskani osebni dnevnik ali organizator, ki uporabniku omogoča pregled nad prihajajočimi obveznostmi in mu hkrati omogoča lažje organiziranje svojega časa. Poznamo tiskane in elektronske različice planerjev (elektronske različice računalniških programskih orodij ali orodij pametnih naprav), vendar pa na tem področju ni bilo narejenih veliko raziskav. Zaradi napredka tehnologije lahko zasledimo pogosto uporabo elektronskih planerjev, čeprav se na tržišču kaže vedno večja tendenca uporabe tiskanih planerjev. Ker pa je potreb, okusov in stilov zelo veliko, si vsak uporabnik želi imeti nekaj svojega, personaliziranega in enako velja tudi za planerje. Skladno z navedenim je bil cilj diplomskega dela oblikovati in izdelati ustrezno dodelan ter prilagojen personaliziran tiskan planer, ki bi služil v pomoč pri vsakodnevni organizaciji dela ter časa. Za ciljno skupino je bila izbrana starostna skupina mladih žensk (od 18 do 30 let), zato je bilo tudi samo oblikovanje naravnano nežnejšemu spolu. Za potrebe diplomskega dela je bila v nalogi najprej preučena teorija, ki predstavlja značilnosti, pomen in namen tiskanih ter elektronskih različic planerjev. Glede na to, da je bil cilj naloge izdelati tiskano različico personaliziranega planerja, so v teoretičnem delu predstavljene značilnosti grafične priprave za tisk in potek oblikovalskega ter izvedbenega procesa od zamisli do končnega izdelka. V eksperimentalnem delu diplomskega dela je vsebina osredotočena na načrtovanje ustrezne grafične priprave in končne izdelave grafičnega izdelka – personaliziranega planerja. V njem je najprej predstavljena raziskava trenutnega stanja ponudbe tiskanih planerjev na slovenskem trgu, v osrednjem delu eksperimentalnega poglavja pa je opisan postopek oblikovanja idejnega osnutka, uporabljenih metod oblikovanja in izbire ustreznega materiala ter dodelavnih metod. Z namenom, da pridobimo mnenje potencialnih kupcev in ugotovimo možnosti vključitve morebitnih izboljšav samega izdelka, je bila izdelana tudi anketa o uporabniški izkušnji. V rezultatih z razpravo je podrobno predstavljen potek oblikovanja personaliziranega planerja s slikovno predstavitvijo in ugotovitvami, ki so bile ključnega pomena priprave končnega izdelka. V rezultatih je povzeta tudi raziskava obstoječega stanja na slovenskem trgu in analiza opravljene ankete o uporabniški izkušnji končnega izdelka, na podlagi izsledkov pa so navedene tudi možnosti nadaljnjih izboljšav personaliziranega planerja. Diplomsko delo predstavlja izdelano tiskano različico oblikovanega personaliziranega planerja, ki vsebuje letno in tedensko razporeditev za prihajajoče leto 2019 ter druge dodatne strani za boljšo organizacijo časa, dela, obveznosti, pomembnih dogodkov in drugega. A planner is a printed personal diary or organizer, which enables its users an overview of the upcoming obligations, and, at the same time, simplifies the organization of their time. There are printed and electronic versions of planners (electronic versions of software tools of computer or other smart devices). However, not much research has been published on this topic. Due to the technological progress nowadays, mainly digital versions of planners are used, though the tendency of printed planner usage surprisingly grows day in day out. Every user wants to have something of his own and personalized because there are a lot of needs, tastes, and styles and the same applies to the planners. In accordance with the above, the goal of the bachelor’s thesis was to design and produce properly completed and personalized printed planner designed to help with the day-to-day organization of work and time. The focused target group of users was a group of younger women (18 – 30 years). Therefore, the design itself was adjusted to gentler gender. For the purpose of the bachelor’s thesis, the task was first to examine the theory, which presents the characteristics, the meaning, and the purpose of printed as well as electronic versions of planners. Considering that the aim of the thesis was to produce a printed version of a personalized planner, the theoretical part of the thesis presents the characteristics of the graphical printing prepress and the progress of design and implementation processes from the idea to the final product. In the experimental part of the thesis, the content focuses on designing the appropriate graphic prepress and the final production of a graphical product – a personalized planner. In this part, firstly a survey of the current state of supply of printed planners in the Slovenian market is presented, while the middle part presents the designing process of the conceptual design, the used designing methods, and the selection of the appropriate material as well as finishing methods. In the results with discussion, the course of designing a personalized planner with image presentation and findings which were crucial for the preparation of the finished product is described in detail. The results also summarize the research of the current situation on the Slovenian market and the analysis of the conducted survey on the user experience of the final product, while the possibilities for further improvements of the personalized planner are also mentioned based on the results of the survey. The bachelor’s thesis presents a printed version of the designed personalized planner which contains the annual as well as weekly distribution for the forthcoming year 2019 and some other additional pages for better organization of time, work, obligations, important events, and others.
