Abstract

This research discusses the design of character designs in illustration books getting to know DKV for SMA/MA/SMK teenagers. Teenagers need knowledge and information in making plans for the future, one of which starts with preparing to choose the right major in college. This aims to minimize cases of students feeling like they have entered the wrong major. Apart from that, the existence of the DKV sector is still underestimated by some people due to a lack of knowledge about DKV. The method used in this design is a quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive data analysis method through interview data, FGD (Focus Group Discussion), observation, questionnaires, and literature study which culminated in the keyword "Deep understanding DKV with the present" and obtained results in the form of 3 design characters representing 2 DKV students and 1 SMA/MA/SMK teenager. Each character is designed with a contemporary design approach in a contemporary form using a flat design drawing style.

Abstract

Preschool children often display picky eating behavior due to their growth stage and independence in choosing food, which can lead to unbalanced nutrition. This research focuses on developing character designs for an educational board game that introduces various nutritious foods in an engaging way. Using a qualitative method, primary data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), interviews, and observation, while secondary data came from literature studies. The data were analyzed descriptively to identify behavioral and visual patterns suitable for early childhood audiences. The analysis produced the concept “Active and Independent Behavior” as the foundation for character design. The resulting visual outcomes include five characters: four main figures called Teman Sehat and one antagonist, Monster Manis si Tetangga Menyebalkan. Each character was designed in an anthropomorphic style using simple shapes and bright colors to emphasize friendliness and emotional connection. The findings are expected to inform future design practices for educational media that promote healthy eating habits through visual storytelling and interactive play.
