Abstract

The research focuses on the unique particularities and parameters that define character design, revealing the distinct nature of each character and case. Through the method of Visual Observation, the "Character Map" was developed, which systematically records the different types of characters and their relationships across various visual communication mediums. This process highlights the complex and multidimensional nature of character design as an artistic and research field, with numerous applications and possibilities. Furthermore, the urgent need for a comprehensive and specialized education is emphasized, one that will enable designers to deeply understand the complexity of the field and develop the necessary skills for creating characters in specialized media.
