prerequisite
Knowledge
to recognize basic and advanced material used in bookbinding and cover design and their shaping and characteristics, chosing from variety of known materials based on their specific characteristic to recall procedures modeling common and several advanced shapes specific forms and bookbinding by several different ways with accent on finding the most suitable solution, modeling in 3D programs to compare the results achieved on the given field of creation (both own and foreign), to draw consequences for this comparison on own work, to alter it and be opened for new approaches to bring together basic knowledge of supporting arts disciplines, mostly illustration and digital technologies
Skills
to apply knowledge of basic common current and basic historical equipment of bookbinding wirkshop used for work with paper and other materials suitable for work with books and cover design, to apply the knowledge of basic 3D editors and programs to apply variety of methods of working with paper and other basic materials and its shaping, possibilities and ways of using those materials to show own creativity on generally assigned task, to show the will to find different artistic solutions, alter them and constructivelly evaluate to show ability of basic aesthetic evaluation related with cover design, to compare effect and relation of aesthetic and funciolan qualities and to take into consideration other demands given by the aim and product of creative process about project planning (technologic methods, conceptual analysis of given theme, sketching of final product,) individually and in a team to reproduce the method of common book binding

Skills
to use common machines, tools and other equipment of bookbindig and designer workshop and 3D editors for visualizing own work to apply basic technologies of work with paper (and its production, manual and machined) and other commonly used materials (refining, cutting, conecting, shaping, etc.) in traditional and untraditional ways using their specific character to reflect his work in historical and contemporary contexts, is aware of posibilities of this contexts for art expressioning and semantics to reflect its work in the context of professional, technical and technological processes, chooses the most suitable methods in variety of alterations using other related disciplines such as graphic or interior design with erudition, presents his work to the professional community and general public to individually develop a project based on given assignement from design and technical measurement, model in scale to realization in material, cooperates on his work with other disciplines and his thoughts vizualizes in 3D he is able to accept and assert in a way the evaluation and critical response, is able to do own critical reflection of own work based on integrated criteria
