<![CDATA[ ABSTRAK Perkembangan teknologi digital menuntut pembelajaran desain grafis yang mampu meningkatkan keterampilan siswa sesuai dengan kebutuhan dunia kerja. Berdasarkan hasil observasi di SMK Pertiwi Kuningan, siswa dalam pembelajaran CorelDRAW masih cenderung menggunakan font bawaan dan memilih warna tanpa referensi yang jelas sehingga hasil desain media promosi kurang variatif dan harmonis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas pembelajaran desain grafis menggunakan font eksternal DaFont dan referensi warna Color Hunt terhadap hasil belajar siswa pada materi media promosi menggunakan CorelDRAW. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Pre-Experimental Design dan model One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 26 siswa dengan teknik total sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan tes berupa pretest dan posttest, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji normalitas, Paired Sample t-Test, dan N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata nilai pretest sebesar 73,46 meningkat menjadi 87,88 pada posttest. Hasil Paired Sample t-Test memperoleh nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, sehingga H₀ ditolak dan H₁ diterima. Nilai N-Gain sebesar 0,5767 atau 57,6694% termasuk kategori sedang dan cukup efektif. Dengan demikian, pembelajaran menggunakan font eksternal DaFont dan Color Hunt cukup efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada materi media promosi menggunakan CorelDRAW. ABSTRACT The development of digital technology requires graphic design learning that is able to improve students' skills in accordance with the demands of the world of work. Based on observations at SMK Pertiwi Kuningan, students in CorelDRAW learning still tend to use default fonts and select colors without clear references, resulting in promotional media designs that are less varied and harmonious. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of graphic design learning using external fonts from DaFont and color references from Color Hunt on students' learning outcomes in promotional media materials using CorelDRAW. This study employed a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental Design method and a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design model. The research sample consisted of 26 students selected using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through tests in the form of pretests and posttests, while data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, a normality test, a Paired Sample t-Test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the mean pretest score of 73.46 increased to 87.88 in the posttest. The Paired Sample t-Test resulted in a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. The N-Gain score was 0.5767 or 57.6694%, which was categorized as moderate and sufficiently effective. Therefore, learning using external fonts from DaFont and Color Hunt was sufficiently effective in improving students' learning outcomes in promotional media materials using CorelDRAW.]]>
