Dizajne

Dizajne is a noun used in several South Slavic languages to denote multiple designs or the concept of design in plural. It is the plural form related to dizajn, the common term for design in languages such as Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Slovenian. The word covers a wide range of design outputs, including graphic, product, industrial, interior, and architectural designs, as well as design concepts or proposals.

Etymology and scope: Dizajn in these languages is a loanword from English design (which itself traces back to French dessin in some etymologies). Over time, dizajn and its plural dizajne have become standard terms in everyday speech as well as in academic and professional contexts, spanning disciplines from visual communication to user experience and urban planning.

Usage: In natural usage, dizajne can refer to concrete design artifacts—such as a portfolio of product designs or a collection of graphic layouts—or to the broader set of design solutions within a project. The term often appears in catalogs, portfolios, marketing materials, and educational contexts where multiple design outputs are discussed or compared.

Related terms: Dizajn is the singular form, while dizajner refers to a designer. Related phrases include grafički dizajn (graphic design), industrijski dizajn (industrial design), and uredba o dizajnu or zaštita dizajna in legal or regulatory contexts, depending on the language variety.
