Description<\/h3>\n
The newly opened, 5900 square meter Pula City pool includes various types of pools, locker rooms, a sauna, and many other facilities. The underlying concept our visual identity was built upon is based on a series of conversations we\u2019ve had with professional and recreational swimmers. From these conversations emerged the concept of a line \u2013 a fundamental graphic element guiding the entirety of our creative decisions, similarly how a line at the bottom of the pool guides a swimmer towards their goal. As visitors walk through the building, they witness the evolution of signage and its purpose \u2013 from one that is purely functional, to one that gives life to the space and celebrates its purpose.<\/p>\n
Explanation by the Selection Committee<\/h3>\n
The visual identity of the huge sports complex in Pula starts from the line motif as a characteristic element of the pool signage and lucidly develops it into a playful information system that functions equally successfully as an ornament. The 5900 square meters of the building are lined with line illustrations that, despite the elementary form, point to a wide field of references – from Aicher’s Olympic pictograms to Mediterranean architecture from paintings by Giorgio de Chirico. The Rovinj studio Tumpi\u0107 \/ Prenc (Anselmo Tumpi\u0107, Anton Licul Grk and Sara Prenc Opa\u010di\u0107) has already been deservedly awarded for this solution, whose main quality is in simply encouraging joy, such as the observation that the body of a swimmer on the facade of the building is actually the letter P.<\/p>\n

Omoguru \u2013 tools for facilitating reading<\/h1>\n
Omolab komunikacije Omoguru<\/em>\u00a0project brings together speech therapists, designers, typographers, innovators and experts to find new ways to deliver a comfortable reading experience to dyslexics and people with reading difficulties. The\u00a0OmoType<\/em> font system is specially designed for dyslexics, with an innovative approach that offers customization to the unique needs of each user. Research and extensive testing show it reduces reading time, number of mistakes, and requires less effort to read. The OmoType<\/em>\u00a0font system achieves its full affirmation through\u00a0Omoguru<\/em>\u00a0digital tools to facilitate reading and learning for people with dyslexia and other reading difficulties.\u00a0Omoguru<\/em>\u00a0tools have more than 20,000 users.<\/p>\n The Omoguru project brings together designers, typographers, speech therapists, innovators and other professionals with the aim of creating a pleasant reading experience for people with reading difficulties. Specially designed for people with dyslexia, the OmoType font system offers an innovative approach to adapting the text display to the unique needs of each user. Research has shown that children with reading difficulties with OmoType read faster with fewer mistakes and less mental effort. The OmoType font system achieves its full affirmation through Omoguru digital tools to facilitate and encourage reading and learning, which are used by more than 20,000 users. For now, 290 titles are offered in Croatian (of which 72 are required reading titles) and 45,000 in English, and users can add their books and other digital content. Numerous comments from Omo(gu)Reader users on Google Play and the App Store testify to their satisfaction, i.e. the success of the application of the tool. An overview of the Omoguru site, instructions, approaches and solutions shows the exceptional level of involvement and professionalism of all project participants.<\/p>\n creative direction<\/strong>: OAZA MADE IN was launched to represent and promote craft heritage and innovative contemporary design at the European level. The resulting platform brings together six partner organizations and represents several development stages as part of a perennial interdisciplinary project: research and documentation of the context, impact and practice of the forty craftsmen from the region; development and realization of a curatorial concept with eight narratives about crafts and design based on collaborations (workshops, residential stays) with forty designers from all over Europe; and the creation of a rich printed and digital archive of craft knowledge.<\/p>\n The very basic outlines of the project MADE IN – Crafts and Design Narratives – with a large number of stakeholders from several countries, collaborations and synergies, extensive research and documentation, as well as a wide range of design interventions – give a hint of its weight and importance. But we were not so much impressed by the scope of the project, its scale, but by the fact that each of its segments consistently feels its basic idea, origins and goal relevant to our time. MADE IN clearly indicates what we mean when we talk about the discursive and research dimension of design – because the project is really initiated by designers – and at the same time creates a tangible new value, new knowledge or a new structure for old knowledge, new ways of thinking about tradition and modernity, new networks of people, institutions and ideas, a new opportunity to think about what we do as designers and how it can help us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The selection committee of the Exhibition of Croatian Design 19\/20 – consisting of Sanja Bachrach Kri\u0161tofi\u0107, Karlo Kazinoti, \u017deljko Serdarevi\u0107, Svjetlana Despot, Marko Pavlovi\u0107, Lea Vene, Vedran \u017didanik – decided on the three nominations for the Grand Prize of the Croatian Design Association.
