One Day in Paradise: Exploring Creative Individuality Amongst the Crowd

A Bachelor's Thesis Book by Stefanie Brückler

Brückler's "One Day in Paradise" is the culmination of her Bachelor's degree program in Information Design at FH Joanneum in Graz, Austria. This unique project serves as a guide for aspiring designers, providing valuable advice and highlighting the significance of establishing one's own creative paradise. The book covers a range of topics, including taste, style, individuality, imitation, inspiration, and identity.

The thesis book features in-depth interviews with established industry professionals, offering readers a glimpse into their real-life experiences and the challenges they have overcome. These interviews are presented on salmon-colored pages, which serve as optional inserts, allowing readers to explore them at their leisure without interrupting the flow of the book.

Brückler's design choices further enhance the reading experience. The book is printed using a combination of digital and silkscreen printing techniques, creating a visually appealing aesthetic. The use of grey, white, and salmon-colored paper adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design.

One of the notable challenges Brückler faced during the creation of this thesis book was finding up-to-date scientific information on the researched topics. To overcome this, she conducted her own interviews, gaining valuable insights from industry professionals. Additionally, Brückler wanted to present hard facts in a visually engaging way. To achieve this, she created illustrative infographics with a fun twist, ensuring that readers would enjoy and easily understand the information presented.

"One Day in Paradise" took Brückler two months to complete, from research to final design and printing. Her dedication and meticulous attention to detail are evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for young designers seeking guidance and inspiration.

Stefanie Brückler's "One Day in Paradise: Creative Individuality Amongst the Crowd" was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2016. This recognition highlights the exceptional expertise and innovation demonstrated in the design. The book's strong technical characteristics, remarkable artistic skill, and ability to evoke positive emotions make it a truly outstanding piece of work.
