Featured are the items that represent the best samples of artistic book design in Croatia with regard to their graphic design and harmonious relationship between the visual and graphic layout and content. The author of the exhibition is art historian Milan Pelc, who selected 60 items for presentation on panels.

This essay does not pretend to describe it in its entirety. Its goal is to shed light on some (key) moments in its complex historical development and point to its most important specificities. The essay does not pertain to entire Croatian literary heritage, but only to the part created on the historical Croatian territory and created by the Croats. Namely, with regard to its origins, the Croatian literary heritage can be divided into three big groups.

    THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION The International Public Relations Association GOLDEN WORLD AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE 2018 2018 GOLDEN WORLD AWARDS THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION The International Public Relations Association Golden World Awards For Excellence 2018 Organised by: With the support of: 2018 GOLDEN WORLD AWARDS THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION The IPRA Golden World Awards for Excellence 2018: demonstrating global professionalism IPRA has run the Golden World Awards (GWA) since 1990. From the start, the central aim has been to highlight excellence in public relations from around the globe. Over the years shifts in emphasis in the GWA entries have been noticeable. Public relations have made a major shift to being more strategic. Clients of agencies and the in- house clients of PR and communication departments have become more sophisticated in their expectations. This is reflected in the 2018 entries. Also, the influx of university- trained staff into the profession (a departure from the era in which journalists were often recruited into PR) has brought a more defined understanding of communication theory among PR professionals. This is a welcome process. Of course, there will always be a place for gut feeling. Any profession that thrives on creativity needs this, but too much intuition and too little rationality will eventually hamper the achievement of long-term objectives and goals. It is satisfying to witness this balance in the entries for the 2018 Golden World Awards for Excellence.
