Abstract

Lancang Kuning University is an educational institution that strengthens the Riau Malay cultural identity through its architectural and interior elements. One part that reflects this identity is the lobi of the rectorate building, which functions as a guest reception center and a symbol of academic leadership. This study aims to analyze the perception of the use of Malay decorative motifs as a factor in shaping cultural identity in the interior design of the Unilak Rectorate lobi. The methodological approach used includes direct observation of Malay decorative elements and interviews to understand their influence on the user experience of the space. The results show that the applied Malay decorative motifs not only strengthen aesthetic and traditional values but also increase the sense of attachment to local culture. This research highlights that cultural elements in interior design are integral to the identity of educational institutions and provides insights into the role of spatial design in shaping users’ perceptions and experiences. The primary benefit of this research is to support the development of locally culture-based interior design that can enhance the university's image.

Abstract

“Mouthwashing” is a game that has achieved many prestigious awards and nominations just within a few months after its’ release on 24th September 2024. This horror game was conceptualized and written by Johanna Kasurinen which then got developed to a game by Wrong Organ Studio. While it’s nothing new, it’s still rare to find a female game creator and even rarer is when a game made by women has achieved as many awards as “Mouthwashing” had. This research is a critical reading of the female role in the game “Mouthwashing” and how a female’s view is applied in her works. This is qualitative research with the data taken from a game playthrough video and interview articles with Kasurinen. The main theory used for this research is the female gaze theory by Laura Mulvey. In the game, there’s only one female character named Anya whose role is quite significant both in gameplay function and the overall theme. Kasurinen herself had stated in interviews that she often looks back upon herself while writing characters that aren’t only not good, but also human. In conclusion, despite the strong female gaze aspect, the narration of the overall game doesn’t fit into the feminist category.

Abstract

By exploring the influence of natural and artificial light, this study highlights how lighting affects the color, contrast, and dimensions of objects in the final photograph. Using natural light from large windows or skylights can give a photo a soft, natural feel, while artificial light from studio lights allows for greater control over the intensity and direction of the light. This study considers factors such as light source, intensity, and the latest technology, such as LED lights with adjustable color temperature. This study uses a qualitative approach to explain the problem and focus of the study in depth. It also discusses the use of additional equipment such as softboxes, reflectors, and filters to direct light more precisely and create the desired effect. This study develops key concepts to guide optimal photo studio design, ensuring that lighting supports artistic expression and visual aesthetics to the fullest. Therefore, this study is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of better photo studio interior design that is adaptive to the needs of professional photographers.

Abstract

Exploring speculative design’s potential as a critical medium for raising Indonesian public awareness of social and economic inequalities, this study tests three approaches: What‑Ifs, Counterfactual, and Reductio ad Absurdum, within the Cone of Plausibility framework. Methodology combined field observation, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with university students and middle‑class workers (n = 8–12), thematic analysis, and sentiment scoring. Results show that What‑Ifs generated enthusiasm for sustainable innovation but raised concerns about affordability and cultural impact; Counterfactual stimulated intellectual reflection yet was often seen as insufficiently relevant locally; and Reductio ad Absurdum elicited strong emotional responses by highlighting systemic injustices but required clear action pathways to avoid mere provocation. These findings suggest that speculative design can effectively foster critical dialogue when grounded in local context and supported by implementation recommendations. The study provides a methodological framework and comparative analysis that can guide designers and policymakers in creating design‑based social interventions.

Abstract

This research discusses the visual representation of Balinese culture in the digital comic “Agni” by comic artistNy0ngbeng published on the Webtoon platform. This study aims to identify and analyze visual elements that represent Balinese culture through a descriptive qualitative approach. The analysis was conducted by using the theory of visual elements of comics according to Scott McCloud and visual semiotics of Roland Barthes. Data were obtained through observation of comic panels that feature elements of Balinese culture such as traditional clothing, architecture, traditional ceremonies, and spiritual symbols. The results show that the comic “Agni” effectively utilizes iconization, closure, panels and transitions, as well as the relationship between words and images to build a visual narrative that strengthens Balinese cultural identity. Visual semiotic analysis reveals that the denotative and connotative meanings of the visual elements in this comic not only present aesthetics, but also reinforce Balinese cultural narratives and myths in the context of digital media. Thus, the digital comic “Agni” acts as a potential media in introducing Balinese culture through modern visualizations that appeal to the younger generation.

Abstract

Pixiu (貔貅) is one of the mythological creatures originating from Chinese culture, where this creature is believed to bring good luck, wealth and protection, in its development, there has been a change in form from a traditional sacred representation into a modern form such as Shenxing Pixiu (神行貔貅). Shenxing Pixiu itself is a Pixiu toy made by Shenxing Toys where this toy adapts the aesthetics of kawaii (cute). With the differences in this, it encourages a phenomenon, where the existence of this phenomenon encourages this research to be made, this research itself was made with the aim of analyzing the comparison of designs between traditional Pixiu and Shenxing Pixiu toys from the visual aspect, symbolic meaning and shifting functions in the context of popular culture. The research methods used include descriptive-qualitative analysis of design elements and literature studies. The results of this study indicate that Shenxing Pixiu can maintain the core values of traditional Pixiu but with a more commercial and entertaining approach, so that it is more easily accepted by the younger generation. These changes reflect the adaptation of traditional culture to the modern market without losing its original identity.

Abstract

Jakarta's public transportation system plays an important role in supporting urban mobility. The Jak Lingko program integrates TransJakarta, MRT, LRT, and KRL modes into one system. This study examines the extent to which the Jak Lingko Wayfinding system is inclusive and accessible to various user groups. The methods used are literature study and field observation as users, with a Wayfinding theory approach from Calori & Vanden-Eynden (2015) and universal design principles based on the BART Facility Standards in the Jakarta Public Transportation Iconography and Wayfinding Guidebook (ITDP Indonesia & FDTJ, 2021). The results of the study show that there are still obstacles to inclusivity at bus stops built before 2020 due to the absence of integrated navigation standards from the government. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing universal design principles comprehensively so that the transportation system can be accessed and used independently by all groups. These findings are expected to be the basis for developing a more participatory and user-oriented Wayfinding system.

Abstract

Personal listening devices such as earphones and headphones have become digital products that help the younger generation maintain their productivity or simply serve as tools for them to enjoy audio more privately. Unfortunately, excessive use of these devices will trigger a hearing impairment known as Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). The design of this educational media in the form of 2D animation is carried out to educate the general public, especially teenagers to young adults who use personal listening devices, and to contribute to reducing the number of NIHL sufferers due to these devices. The research method was conducted using a qualitative approach with a design thinking method to understand the issues related to the use of the device from the user's perspective, so that the solutions will be more relevant to the needs of the target audience. The design of 2D animations with a minimalist illustration style and storytelling base relevant to the target audience's habits can capture their attention, ensuring that the auditory health education within it is conveyed accurately.

Abstract

Batik is an important cultural heritage of Indonesia, particularly in Java. Batik Kudus, crafted by local artisans, reflects the cultural richness of the Kudus region and is influenced by coastal batik styles. Each motif carries symbolic meanings that are closely tied to local traditions and values. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach to explore the symbolic meanings of Batik Kudus, focusing on how its motifs represent Javanese cultural knowledge through traditional clothing. The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between batik as an art form and the values of the Kudus community. Batik is not merely seen as fabric or decoration, but as a form of cultural expression that reflects experiences, beliefs, and social values. The findings show that Batik Kudus motifs reflect the identity, lifestyle, and worldview of the local people. These patterns are not only visually appealing but also rich in cultural and spiritual meaning. Thus, Batik Kudus functions as a living tradition—a medium through which the community preserves cultural heritage, tells their stories, and affirms their collective identity.

Abstract

Wayang legends are among the numerous aspects of Indonesian culture that are gradually being forgotten. One illustration is the Punakawan tale, which is significant in promoting moral principles and forming societal norms. The goal of this design is to encourage young people, both artists and the general public, to get interested in local culture. In order for local culture to survive through artistic creations that are current and captivating to the younger generation, it is hoped that artists will be motivated to study and investigate Indonesia's rich cultural heritage. This quantitative study employs the glass box technique approach with the goal of educating the next generation about the morals of Punakawan characters. A graphic novel book about the Punakawan narrative, which has been altered and infused with fantasy elements, is the outcome of this research. Combining narrative and illustration is a visual communication method that reinforces character qualities and makes reading more appealing to younger generations. It is anticipated that this strategy will make the Punakawan story more palatable and acceptable to Indonesia's youth of today, allowing it to be used as a character teaching tool.
