ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЖУРНАЛЬНОЇ ГРАФІКИ П. КОВЖУНА ТА Е. КОЗАКА В ПОПУЛЯРНИХ САТИРИЧНИХ ВИДАННЯХ ЛЬВОВА 1920–1930-х рр.

Purpose. Investigate the national component and stylistic features of satirical graphics of P. Kovzhun and E. Kozak in popular Lviv humorous magazines of the interwar period. Methodology. The applied art analysis makes it possible to investigate, identify, compare and describe the features of satirical graphics and artistic design of Lviv humorous publications of the interwar period. Comparative and historical methods help to trace the work of leading artists in Lviv satirical periodicals of 20–30s years of XX century. Results.Stylistic features of satirical graphics by P. Kovzhun and E. Kozak in Lviv humorous magazines of 20–30s years of the XX century are determined. It is noted that the artistic style of these artists was influenced by Western European art trends, such as: modernism, expressionism, cubism, futurism. In their graphics, cartoonists use similar tools to achieve a greater effect – grotesque, allegory, zoomorphism. It is traced that each of these artists had his own individual style of satirical illustration, which was supported by national motives. The article draws parallels between German and Lviv satirical magazine graphics on the example of the magazine "Simplicissimus". It was found out that P. Kovzhun and E. Kozak, as leading artists of humorous publications, in addition to highly artistic illustrations, made high-quality graphic design for the magazines «Maski», «Zyz», «Komar». The artistic design of the covers and technical features of these publications are analyzed. Most satirical magazines had a symmetrical hierarchical composition of the title page with a limited polychrome palette. The logo-name on the cover of the magazine was harmoniously perceived together with the title illustration. The cover was made in color, usually in two colors, magazine covers were monochrome. The semantic load of visual satirical material in humorous editions of the interwar period is established. Scientific novelty. The satirical graphics with an emphasis on the national component of the leading illustrators P. Kovzhun and E. Kozak in Lviv humorous magazines of 20–30s years of the XX century is investigated and compared. The peculiarities of the design of the covers of popular Lviv satirical editions of the interwar twentieth century, such as «Maski», «Zyz», «Komar» are determined. Practical significance. Given data on satirical graphics in Lviv magazines of the 20–30s of the XX century and their artistic design will help in understanding the traditions of Ukrainian Galician satirical illustration and magazine design.

ArcStereoNet: A New ArcGIS® Toolbox for Projection and Analysis of Meso- and Micro-Structural Data

ArcStereoNet is a new ArcGIS® based toolbox for stereographic projections that we implement here using Python 2.7 programming language. The reason to develop another stereographic projection package arises from the recent use of Python as an exclusive programming language within the ArcGIS® environment. This permits a more flexible approach for the development of tools with very intuitive GUIs, and also allows the user to take full advantage of all potential GIS mapping processes. The core of this new projections toolbox is based on the capability to easily apply and compare most of the commonly used statistical methods for cluster and girdle analysis of structural data. In addition to the well-known Fisher, K-means, and Bingham data elaborations, a completely new algorithm for cluster analysis and mean vector extraction (Mean Extractor from Azimuthal Data), was developed, thereby allowing a more reliable interpretation of any possible structural data distribution. Furthermore, as in any other GIS platform, users can always precisely correlate each single projected data point with the corresponding geographical/locality position, thereby merging or subdividing groups of structural stations with a simple selection procedure. ArcStereoNet also creates rose diagrams, which may be applied not only to fault/joint planes orientation data, but also for the analysis of 2D microstructural fabric parameters. These include geometrical datasets derived from the minimum bounding approach as applied to vectorized grains in thin sections. Finally, several customization settings ensure high-quality graphic outputs of plots, that also allow easy vector graphics post-processing.

CONCEPTUAL AND PLOT-STYLISTIC FEATURES OF GRAPHIC SOLUTION OF MODERN UKRAINIAN ABCS

The article analyzes modern Ukrainian alphabets of leading publishing houses. The focus is on artistic decision making, the general concept of the abbey. The emphasis is placed on the importance of abecting in the teaching of the child.

Due to this, ordinary, paper developing books have to withstand high competition, and one of the most important ways to defend their niche in the market is an interesting and original concept and high quality graphic, illustrative presentation of the material.

Reconstruction and modernization of factory "Hartija Kocani", Macedonia

This work presents the reconstruction and modernization of Factory HARTIJA Kocani, for production of high quality graphic paper. Part one analyses the goal of modernization and the approach to its realization. Part two describes the pre-reconstruction state and points to the trouble spots and technical shortcomings of the paper machine. Part three shows the state of technology after the modernization. Here, the companies that took part in realization of project are presented and the quality of their engagement is graded. The final part gives the evaluation of usefulness of the reconstruction and modernization. The evaluation is given for reaching projected capacity and quality, as well as for financial efficiency of the investment, i.e. the price of the execution of the project assignment.
