CHARACTERS Character design is the most universal of graphic languages. Character work independent of cultural context and narrative structure. They are entirely self-referential, defined by clearly distinctive characteristic and have a life of their own. Peter Thaler, Pictoplasma A fictional character is any face, person or identity whose existence originates from a fictional work or performance. Characters are widely considered an essential element of fictional works, especially novels, plays and comics. In last period as a part of contemporary art: Toys, puppets, animations, caroons - free hand drawing, pixel, vector and 3D. Characterization can regard a variety of aspects of a character, such as appearance, age, style, name, sex, occupation, social status, hobbies, personality... Aleksandra Nina Knezevic, designer, born in Sarajevo, graduated in 1997 from the Academy of Arts in Cetinje (Montenegro). She has been professionally engaged in everything which is to be understood as deliberation and modelling of diverse communication packages. The latitude of her work is considered as being an international practice. In the area of international design, forms of visual expression and standards for all design categories have been subjected to an agreement since long time ago. Her work is proof that this generation has grasped the secrets of graphic literacy along with the magic of packaging related to all those secret codes presented in public, but also in the other places. The actual message shaping is what we consider to be a formal aura for each piece of design work. The search for an individual and unique language within the waste space of hyper production is a challenge for each one of those who appear on the open scene of creativity. For all of us, Sarajevo still remains a symbolic location where emotions, fears, hopes, and wishes are intertwined. While still being on the passageway towards a mutual understanding, the messages coming from this town are painted with double meaning charm. This is the place where for the time being everything will remain important. Colour, font, alphabet, names, particularly surnames, formats, signs, everything that is marked. Consequently, the design work of Nina placed within the high standards of international practice expresses the need of young people to formally overcome the abyss of inversive images in a way that messages are to be sent using a new – meta language. This is a designer's dictionary of new concepts which integrally sends the messages of the clients but also the signs coming from the authors. In this manner all these works become symbols of the time we live in. Where are we to find our own place under the sun to work and live becomes the question of Destiny. Though, it is being said that some have taken this matter into their own hands. R. Vukovic, KVADART magazine KARAKTERI Dizajn karaktera je najuniverzalniji od svih grafičkih jezika. Karakteri rade neovisno od kulturnog sadržaja i opisne strukture. Oni su u potpunosti samo-referencijalni, a definirani su po jasno različitim karakteristikama i imaju svoj sopstveni život. Peter Thaler, Pictoplasma Izmišljeni karakter može biti u bilo koje lice, osoba ili identitet, koji postoji u nekom fiktivnom djelu. Karakteri su neophodan element fantastičnih djela, naročito romana, filmova i stripova, a u novije vrijeme i dijela savremene umjetnosti: igračke, lutke, animacije, karikaturalni likovi nastali crtanjem rukom ili na kompjuteru (pixel, vector, 3D model).
Aleksandra Nina Knežević, dizajner, rođena je u Sarajevu, a 1997. godine diplomirala je na Akadaemiji likovnih umjetnosti na Cetinju. Ona je angažovana u svemu onome što podrazumijeva profesija promišljanja i oblikovanja najrazličitijih komunikacionih paketa. Njen rad kapacitativno je u ravni što se zove internacionalna praksa. Internacionalna dimenzija dizajna davno je usaglasila nivo pojavnih oblika i uspostavila vizuelne standarde po svim kategorijama. Njeni radovi jesu dokaz da je i ova generacija naučila sve tajne grafičke pismenosti ali i magiju pakovanja tajnih kodova na javnim ali i onim drugim mjestima. Oblikovanje poruka jeste formalna aura svakog dizajnerskog posla. Traganjem za sopstvenim jezikom unutar masivnog prostora svjetske hiper produkcije jeste izazov za svakoga ko se pojavi na brisanom prostoru nove kreativnosti. Za sve nas, Sarajevo će još dugo biti simbolička lokacija preko koje će se prelamati emocije, strahovi, nadanja, želje. Na dugačkom putu ponovnog razumijevanja poruke koje nam se šalju iz ovoga grada imaju čar dvostrukog isčitavanja. To je mjesto u kojem će još dugo sve biti važno. I boja i font i pismo i ime i naročito prezime, i format i znak i označeno. Stoga dizajnerski radovi Aleksandre Knežević postavljeni u visokim standardima internacionalne prakse govore o potrebi mladih da formalno prevaziđu sve ponore inverznih slika tako što će se poruke slati u jednom novom - meta jeziku. To je dizajnerski riječnik novih pojmova koji integralno šalju poruke klijenata ali i kodirane znakove svojih autora. Na ovaj način svi ovi radovi postaju slike vremena u kojem živimo. Gdje će ko pronaći svoje mjesto zivota i mjesto u struci jeste stvar Sudbine. Kažu da su neki u tu stvar uzeli u svoje ruke. R. Vukovic, KVADART magazine
