Sažetak
In this paper, we analyse graphic and multimedia works that the IT design students of the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences (TVZ) created during the semester as part of a communication strategy aimed at the general public. The students used tools and knowledge in graphic design and, taking into account all the settings for creating a quality design solution, presented their visual solutions under the mentorship of their professors. These works were exhibited during June and July 2024 at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum in Zagreb in the Isolation - Creative Studying exhibition. The task is part of the Croatian Science Foundation and the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency project Isolated people and communities in Slovenia and Croatia (ISOLATION). The presented works depict isolation in two ways. On the one hand, isolation is interpreted as social disconnection and personal melancholy; on the other hand, it is experienced as a motivating and creative challenge. Revitalising isolation emphasises values crucial to the contemporary understanding of a successful and fulfilling life. The communication segment of the student work is achieved through the aesthetic values of their interpretations.
