Item Restricted The Role of Graphic Design in Preservation of Serbian Cyrillic Script and Its Use in Modern Design(2023) Dara Gajić; Bernhardt, Anna; Schroeder, Süheyla; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis aims to explore the role of graphic design in the preservation and popularization of the Cyrillic script in Serbia. To understand whether graphic design can contribute to this cultural preservation, the research will first investigate why the Cyrillic script is diminishing and why its preservation is important. Methods of inquiry will include scholarly research, media analysis, and interviews with Serbian designers. The thesis will also draw parallels with other countries facing similar issues with Cyrillic script. The central question revolves around whether graphic design, as a tool, can be effectively employed to bolster the status of Cyrillic in Serbia and if so, how. By focusing on the socio-political landscape, public sentiment, and existing initiatives, the research aims to provide a multifaceted view on how graphic design could be leveraged to address this cultural dilemma.

Known for its vibrant culture, Uganda has a rich artistic heritage characterized by intricate patterns, symbolic motifs, and captivating storytelling techniques. As the world increasingly leans towards minimalist designs, integrating these lively elements into modern graphic design becomes a complex challenge. This thesis aims to explore the evolution of these traditional Ugandan design elements in the context of contemporary graphic design, focusing on illustration as a medium. By examining the historical roots, cultural significance, and current practices, the study seeks to understand how these traditional aspects have been reimagined and incorporated into modern visual communication. The ultimate goal is to shed light on how artists can effectively represent national identity, preserve cultural heritage, and enhance visual storytelling through the intelligent use of traditional Ugandan design elements.
