The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
As part of the research work, whilst creating and presenting the video product, he defined the following research questions or hypotheses and obtained answers to them: – Video instructions are better than instructions on paper. The results show that more than three quarters of respondents (76.5%) found video instructions more user-friendly and chose them. The older generation (36 years and above) decided in favour of instructions on paper based on all four answers.

Results
**– Video instructions are better than instructions on paper. ** The results show that more than three quarters of respondents (76.5%) found video instructions more user-friendly and chose them. The older generation (36 years and above) decided in favour of instructions on paper based on all four answers. – This approach is closer to the selected narrow target group – designers in the classroom. The survey shows that video instructions are most suitable for a wider circle of designers, with the help of which they can more easily learn or study and understand the instructions. – For basic image editing and the use of basic tools and functions, the desired design can also be achieved with alternative programmes to Adobe Photoshop.
For some basic functions this can be claimed, but with more demanding use and deeper intervention in the image this is no longer possible. The selected circle of designers who participated in the survey use the above-mentioned alternative programmes in their work, only some use Adobe Photoshop. For basic design, designers can find shortcuts and simply use the programme they know and which is more affordable.
The fact is that Adobe Photoshop is more difficult to run on open-source operating systems, e.g. Linux, Ubuntu. It is possible to run it via an interface or script, but the consequence is performance differences (execution speed).
Engagement with design and programmes is becoming increasingly sought after, which is why there are many more designers. We try to specialise in our field and research it in detail, as design is a very broad topic. We encounter and are in contact with photography or typographic elements on a daily basis.
Design is in many cases also important for companies that need a comprehensive graphic image with which they present their products or advertise under their name. It is also connected with the sale of products that have a distinctive designed packaging or visual image. Combining images is one of the most common techniques that a designer should know.
The photographs he used in the diploma thesis are free and intended for use, intervention and design. Whilst writing the diploma thesis, he learnt many things he did not know before. He learnt how much time is actually needed to demonstrate tools and explain them.
It is important to use the correct order of tools and to adjust advanced properties. It is also very important to save the document, regardless of which programme we are designing in, as errors can occur in the programme and consequently we can lose the entire project if we have not saved it. This protects us from a possible error in the programme and data loss.
He learnt that it is important to monitor histograms, which show the actual state of the photograph and the spectrum of colours. He believes that a user who views his diploma thesis and the final product, using the tools he described and following and using the images, can achieve the desired effect or even better. They can become familiar with the use and purpose of basic tools and advanced functions of elements.
Much depends on the ideas and wishes of the individual or designer. He noticed that many people edit photographs with smartphones. Consequently, applications do not provide them with such a range of tools and deep intervention in the photograph, but they still achieve the effect of design or montage. He found that in most cases people have a great desire for design, but have too little self-initiative and basic knowledge about design programmes themselves. If I look to the future, I can assert that design programmes will be even more user-friendly, and new technologies and equipment will enable faster processing of the product.
Certainly, artificial intelligence will not replace human hands, as after all, the essence of man is his ideas and creativity.
