Danijela Paracki - HamoniJA = books - a quarter of a century of successful work
The exhibited publications emphasize the meaning of design in a specific way, emphasizing that among the necessary elements of books, catalogs and monographs, design stands out as a particularly impressive part whose task is to ensure quality communication between the reader and the text. Following the highest standards of design practice, Danijela Paracki, by choosing the works offered at this exhibition, enables us to see directly the importance of successful cooperation between the designer and the author of the text and the book editor. It is precisely this communication and cooperation that provides a solid connection between the written content and the visual impression, which are a prerequisite for the creation of a good book.

Danijela Paracki - a short biography
Danijela Paracki was born in Arandjelovac, graduated from "Nada Purić" elementary school in Valjevo, and graduated from the School of Industrial Product Design, majoring in packaging design in Belgrade, where she has lived since 1987.
She graduated from the Faculty of Applied Arts and Design in Belgrade in 1996 in the class of Professor Bogdan Kršić, Department of Book Graphics. She continued her postgraduate studies with the same professor, and in 1998 completed her specialization at the Faculty of Applied Arts (Ecole des Arts Appliques) in Geneva.
She is the owner of the Plaque for the best graduate project at the exhibition "Diploma '96" for the work in the subject - Lettering, with prof. Aleksandar Dodig (five calligraphic scrolls "Sonnets" - William Shakespeare), Praise of the Professional College of the Museum of Applied Arts for the design of the catalog "Fashion in Belgrade 1918-1941" at the 33rd May Exhibition, held in Belgrade in 2001, and Special recognition of ULUPUDS for the design of the catalog "Applied Art and Belgrade 1918-1941" at the 44th May Exhibition, held in Belgrade in 2012.

The previous solo exhibition "Book Space" was held in the small gallery of ULUPUDS in Belgrade from September 5 to 14, 2016.
As part of the "Book Space" exhibition, representative works from her rich design opus were presented - books created since 1996. The exhibited publications indicate that this is an author who knows how to respond to various challenges and demands, but also to maintain the autonomy of the design profession and to express his own creative potential. They were created in interaction - in a creative dialogue with the authors of the text - and they are characterized by a high aesthetic level of graphic and typographic solutions, which discreetly but unmistakably follow and complete the basic idea of the content. Monographs dedicated to Olga Jevrić, Lazar Trifunović, Petar Omčikus, Bata Mihailović, Nikola Tesla, exhibition catalogs Fashion in Belgrade 1918-1941, Applied Art and Belgrade 1918-1941, Sava Rakočević - paintings and drawings, Constantine the Great and the Milan Edict 313, Rubens' circles , problem studies Gamzigrad - Felix Romuliana, Belgrade Fortress, City Ceramics of Belgrade, Gifts of Sofia and Milojko Dunjić and other publications designed by Danijela Paracki in the domestic environment are rare and bright examples of the inventiveness of graphic equipment and the designer's highly professional attitude towards the text that it visually shapes. Arising from a true understanding of the problematic of the text and a critical reflection on the available illustrative material, Danijela Paracki's graphic design stands out as a paradigm, an aesthetic and ethical model, and is thus interpolated into the fabric of broader social responsibilities. Thanks to this, during her twenty-year long career, Danijela Paracki gained the status of a respectable associate of many institutions of science, culture and art in Belgrade, such as the Archaeological Institute and the SANU Gallery, the National Museum in Belgrade, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Museum of Science and Technology, the Museum Nikola Tesla, Pedagogical Museum, Belgrade City Museum, French Cultural Center and others.
