Abstract

This study aims to design and implement animated stickers as an educational medium for drug abuse prevention using the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. The MDLC process includes six phases: concept, design, material collection, development, testing, and distribution. In the concept phase, the educational goals and target audience are defined. The design phase involves creating visual sketches and animations using Adobe animate. In the material collection phase, relevant information about drug abuse is gathered from trusted sources. During the development phase, the animated stickers are created, incorporating visual and textual elements to convey anti-drug messages. The testing phase evaluates the effectiveness of the stickers using a survey of 100 adolescents aged 13-18 years. The results show a significant increase in understanding of drug abuse, with a 48% improvement in comprehension after exposure to the animated stickers, as measured by a Likert scale survey. The effectiveness was primarily evaluated based on user feedback regarding visual appeal, message clarity, and motivation to avoid drugs. The final phase involves distributing the animated stickers through social media platforms and messaging apps, targeting a broader audience. This study demonstrates that animated stickers are a highly effective tool for increasing drug awareness among young people

Abstract

Minimalist design has become a dominant trend across various visual media, from digital advertising to mobile applications. Generation Z, as digital natives with high exposure to visual content, exhibits unique preferences toward minimalist design. However, limited research has focused on identifying which elements of minimalist design most influence their visual preferences. This study aims to analyze the impact of key minimalist design elements—white space, simple typography, neutral colors, and layout—on the visual preferences of Generation Z. A quantitative approach was adopted using a survey-based methodology. The study involved 200 respondents from Generation Z in Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire employing a 5-point Likert scale to measure preferences for each minimalist design element. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to identify the most influential elements. The findings reveal that white space is the most influential element for Generation Z, with an average score of 4.3 and a regression coefficient of 0.45 (p < 0.01). Neutral colors and simple typography also show significant impacts, with coefficients of 0.32 (p < 0.05) and 0.28 (p < 0.05), respectively. Conversely, layout demonstrated the least influence, with a coefficient of 0.15 (p > 0.05). These results confirm that Generation Z favors clean, simple, and focused designs that effectively use white space and calming color palettes. This study contributes to the graphic design literature by offering insights into the visual preferences of Generation Z. Practically, the findings provide actionable guidelines for graphic designers to create more effective digital campaigns targeting young audiences. Future research is recommended to explore cross-cultural variations in visual preferences and the role of specific media platforms in shaping these preferences.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the skills of emotion regulation and the use of visual expressions as nonverbal communication tools to raise awareness about the importance of identifying emotions and utilizing creativity and visual expression in dealing with emotions. Emotional intelligence has an important role in various fields, but attention to aspects of emphasizing emotional intelligence in communication design is still limited. Effective communication design must take into account the emotional impact on the audience, not just conveying information. The role of childhood adversity and generational trauma in shaping emotional regulation skills diminishes emotional intelligence in communication design. Research emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in communication design and explores the use of visual expressions as instruments of nonverbal communication. In addition, it is a valuable contribution to broadening the understanding of emotional intelligence and creative expression in effective communication. Autoethnography is employed as a strategy to delve into emotionally engaging design and to engage communities of individuals who may be uncertain or unskilled in effectively eliciting emotions from the written content. Through the process of autoethnography, the results of this study show personal progress in identifying emotions. This study creates awareness of the importance of emotional identification exercises and education about using ambient materials to deepen emotional experience through creativity and visual expression. Through an autoethnographic process, this study records personal progress in identifying emotions. Awareness of the importance of practicing emotional identification and utilizing surrounding materials to immerse oneself in emotional experiences, especially through creativity and visual expression, is also emphasized.
