Abstract

The study identified the brand image of the cosmetic packaging moisturizer MS Glow. MS Glows is a local cosmetics brand in Indonesia, one of its best products is Moisturizers which won the first championship as the best local moisturizer of the year 2022. Qualitative descriptive methods with observation techniques, literature, and documentation are used in this research. The theoretical framework used included a visual appeal approach (Kotler and Amstrong) and brand image (Keller). The results showed that the moisturizer packaging of three variants (yuzu, watermelon, cactus, and grape seed) consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging. Practical shapes, lightweight materials, colors in harmony with product variants, a combination of serif and sans serif letters, illustrations highlighting the main materials, and an asymmetrical layout. Three brand image components, namely the strength of the brand association, the benefits of its association, and the uniqueness of brand associations evaluate the ideal and accurate design of the MS Glow moisturizer packaging so that products spread across the market can be trusted. This study shows that an ideal visual appeal can build relevant packaging and open up opportunities for MS Glow to create products with their distinctive image.

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

Technology and animation are the combinations that complete each other. It would be interesting to see how culinary cuisine comes into play in between. The research journey on how to enhance the immersive experience in fine dining with a projection mapping on a table by using a video projector to map hybrid animation has broadened the cutting-edge digital art and industrial area. In creating an immersive environment that complements Indonesian food and is tailored to the themes, ideas, and concepts, this research objective is focused on the environmental visualization concept of an animated film called ‘Si Dulang’, which is heavily impacted by Bali cultural aspects and based on famous attractions in Bali. Literature studies and observations of various projection mappings will be used as a research method to achieve a prototype of the animated film and environmental visual concept. The result is following the concept designed from the beginning although there are improvements in the composition arrangement. Therefore, it takes several tries to find the appropriate size of the object projected from the projector.

Abstract

Over time, the practice of graphic design has been undergoing progressive changes so much so that various authorities have come up with various specifications. There are various types of graphic designs amongst which are web design, user interface and user experience design, advertising and marketing design, game design, motion graphics, cartoons and animations, illustrations and typography, and publication design to mention but a few. This topic extrapolates the nuances of a minimalist approach to modern graphic design and in this essay; the word “graphics” has been used as a generic term that encapsulates corporate designs of items such as news magazines, journals, annual reports, calendars, book cover designs and such like. The objective of this research is to bring to the fore and compartmentalize the various stages of the minimalist approach to creating a cutting-edge modest design. The research methodology employed for this study is studio-based and practice-led, the survey and quasi-ethnographic study with some touch of literature review. Discussion exclusively centered on the antecedents of minimalism and steps to be taken in achieving a catchy design using the simplest techniques possible while it was concluded that it is more advantageous to adopt the minimalist approach to graphic designs with reasons rightly highlighted and expatiated on.

Abstract

Improving elementary education is no doubt, key to attaining and sustaining a meaningful learned, and egalitarian society. Its fundamentals are embedded in the affective domain with a thrust in visual cognition, significantly in early childhood education. Affective illustrations particularly in pictures are argued to speak more than a thousand words. Interestingly, this assertion is presumably responsible for why Nigerian elementary books were proliferated with illustrational pictures in contemporary times. A development that is not only welcoming but has come to stay in Nigerian elementary education, owing to its value in terms of pupils' comprehension and illumination. As such, this paper examines selected books published by Globalight, Ibadan. The method adopted is bibliographical, shortlisting six of its plethora of publications to critical visualization; particularly from external, internal, topographical, and illustrational standpoints using design principles. The finding revealed adequacy of design elements, through some improvement, will go a long way in stimulating pupils’ learning potentials and tendencies.

Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancements and ever-changing consumer behaviors, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face the challenge of keeping up with the complexities of branding in the competitive market landscape. This study delves into the innovative use of board games as an educational tool to enhance SMEs' understanding of branding concepts, mainly targeting entrepreneurs with limited formal education. Drawing on experiential learning and gamification principles, the research investigates the impact of board games designed specifically for SMEs.

Through workshops and in-depth case studies, the research assesses the effectiveness of board games in facilitating active learning and knowledge retention among SME owners and managers. Preliminary findings reveal that the immersive and engaging nature simplifies complex branding concepts and fosters a collaborative learning environment, enabling participants to experiment with diverse strategies in a risk-free setting. This research advocates integrating gamified learning strategies into formal and informal SME training programs. The findings underscore the potential of innovative, interactive methods in democratizing access to branding knowledge and nurturing the growth of SMEs in competitive markets. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, board games emerge as a promising instrument for enhancing the branding capabilities of SMEs, thereby promoting their sustainable growth and competitiveness in the market.

Abstract

This study delves into the artistic realms of Jacqueline Suowari and Ibim Cookey, two remarkable Nigerian visual artists who have carved their unique paths within the contemporary art landscape. Suowari's masterful ball pen artistry and mixed media approach juxtaposed with Cookey's photorealistic pencil renderings, offering a captivating exploration of form and style. Through a meticulous examination of their biographies, creative processes, and 5 works each, totaling 10 artistic expressions, this study aims to unravel the profound narratives embedded within their works. Employing qualitative research methodologies, including library research and critical analysis, this paper navigates the intricate layers of identity, cultural heritage, and socio-political commentary that permeate Suowari's and Cookey's oeuvres. By dissecting the symbolic representations, technical mastery, and thematic underpinnings, this research illuminates the multifaceted roles these artists play in shaping contemporary Nigerian art discourse. Moreover, it delves into the ways in which their artworks serve as potent vehicles for challenging perceptions, fostering dialogue, and celebrating the resilience and beauty of the African diaspora. The research design utilizes both observational and survey methods, while data analysis is conducted using the semiotic descriptive approach. Among various similarities and distinctions, it was revealed that both artists engage in mixed media exploration, indicating the depth and diversity of their artworks. Ultimately, this comprehensive exploration seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding Nigerian visual arts while offering a nuanced appreciation for the transformative power of artistic expression.

Abstract

Character design encompasses the process of creating visually captivating and unforgettable characters for different media platforms. Derived from the user test results of the author's previous project, designing a 360-degree 3D illustration in building an immersive virtual atmosphere of the Cisadane Warrior folktale, this research aims to reexamine the former character design of the Crocodile Demon Queen of the Cisadane Warrior folktale, transforming it into a more refined antagonist. Utilizing a brief design process, it only focuses on reassessing the visual attributes of the characters by using a literature review, a reference, and an existing study, as well as observation methods. The visual attributes include anatomy and facial features of a villain, as well as its culture identity representations. The insights gained from this study help synthesize a proper design brief and execute the character design with improvement and necessary adjustments, so that the character is visually engaging, remains cohesive, and suits better with the intended audience.
