2- “Captivated” Social Anxiety Awarness Animated Illustrations
By Dzejlana Duvnjak

The core of my graduation project is to spread awareness and make people who don’t suffer from such disorder to pay close attention to it. Because, nowadays it isn’t treated as serious as it is . A lot of people confuse it with shyness but its far from that. As someone who has struggled with social anxiety , I understand firsthand the difficulties that come with it, as well as the misunderstandings that others may hold that make it much more difficult to deal with. The more people who suffer from social anxiety and others who may learn about it, the better.So, with adolescents being my target group,I did deep research in order to discover how do other anxious individuals feel. Wich led me to conclusion that a lot of them feel like they don’t fit anywhere and don’t know how to explain their condition to others. Speaking of that, I made motion graphic awareness animation, wich would present their inner struggles and the chaotic battles they fight on daily basis that are invisible to others.

Design of the characters is inspired by different specific phobias and are to be used in the video game. Genre of “Certimor” is adventure, fantasy, horror. The name “Certtimor” came from two Latin word timor (fear) and certis (specific) which means fear of specific, or specific fear. It is a game about a scientist who travels to a different dimension where the time moves faster than the time on Earth. 270 days that he spends there are actually 10 days on Earth. In order to travel back to his family he must steal elements from six colonies. These colonies are big, vicious monsters, each with their own unique appearance, habitat and abilities. Every character represents one colony and they all emit their phobias on everyone who gets too close to them. The main goal of the game is to portray what it’s like having phobias and to spread two important messages. First message is to get rid of all the limitations and fears in life and experience life at its fullest, while the second message is to stop running after achievements and material things and appreciate what is already there like family and friends.

9- PICTURE BOOK DESIGN
By Amina Kokanović Imamović

Most of children books are about princesses who are desperate and their only path for better future is to get married, while on the other side I have never read a story like that for boys, where a princess would save a sad prince. Because of this girls are giving up on school and future, as they find a marriage as a solution for their future problems. That is why I decided to make a story for little girls that would make them knowthat they are strong enough to do whatever they want to and that their dreams can come true . This story is a new version of Cinderella, as she is a girl who dreams about being a writer. As it is hard to keep attention from a child on one thing for a while, I made some extras in this book that would keep them interested, as I made illustrationssuitable for childrenwith soft color pallete. I hope to interest children into reading books and thinkingdifferentabout futureand their values.
