Abstract

Gender representation is often used as an attribute of a product differentiation in the current packaging design. One of the woman representation could be found on the packaging design of ‘Kiranti’, a herbal ready to drink which is better known as a traditional medicine by earlier Javanese culture. Kiranti as a text is combined by verbal and visual elements that are meaningful to the readers. How the representation of women and constructions as well as decoding by its consumer are the main questions of this research. Using of discourse analysis method, Kiranti’s text can be traced not only from the visualization, but also of ideas or opinions behind them, such as socio-cultural situation in which Kiranti disseminated. In addition, consideration of readers position as consumers are very important in interpreting the text of Kiranti, because implified particular knowledge in society. Decoding by readers are diverse, ranging from the interpretation of the same message as producer’s intention, differences in interpretation, until modify its message. Visual and verbal elements that appear are the result of the selected signs combination by the producer of meaning, that seeks to utilize conventions that can be accepted easily by society. The combination of the signs are also affected by the construction of discourses, such as codes of Javanese culture, the concept of beauty and menstruating women, as well as the inherent characteristics of femininity (gender), that represented by visual elements, both graphic imagery (photography and illustration), typography, color, and form of the bottle form.

Abstract

Vihara Satya Budhi merupakan salah satu peninggalan artefak budaya Cina yang memiliki bentuk arsitektur Cina . Sistem Hongshui dan konsep YinYang merupakan kunci dalam membangun tempat ibadat. Naga yang merupakan ornamen terpenting dalam klenteng memiliki kedudukan yang tinggi, bahkan posisi naga pada atap menjadi identitas bangunan Cina, karena memberikan makna bahwa bangunan tersebut merupakan bangunan penting, seperti istana dan kuil peribadatan. Kedudukan dan posisi naga pada kuil peribadatan merupakan satu hal yang menarik untuk diteliti. Penelitian ini mencoba melihat bentuk naga yang ada pada Vihara Satya Budhi, Bandung melalui telaah historis dan budaya untuk mencari dan untuk mengetahui kedudukan simbol dan makna bentuk naga yang ada pada Vihara Satya Budhi. Adanya migrasi masyarakat Cina ke Indonesia turut memberikan pengaruh dan perubahan pada visualisasi naga, namun hal ini tidak berdampak kepada bangunan klenteng yang tetap berpegang teguh pada ketentuan yang telah ditetapkan oleh leluhur bangsa Cina. Naga merupakan simbol kekuasaan karena sejak dulu sudah disamakan dengan kedudukan kaisar. Selain kekuasaaan, naga juga merupakan simbol kebaikan dan keberuntungan. Temuan penelitian ini adalah kedudukan naga pada atap bangunan klenteng merupakan simbol identitas dari bangunan peribadatan Cina. Selain pada atap posisi naga pada tiang merupakan bentuk yang sering dijumpai. Hal ini merupakan gambaran bahwa masyarakat Cina diharapkan tidak melupakan kebudayaan leluhur. Dan posisi naga pada tempat dupa juga memiliki arti bahwa naga sebagai pemberi keberuntungan kepada umat manusia patut disembah.

Abstract

Majalah berbahasa Jawa adalah bagian dari wacana yang terpinggirkan. Majalah tersebut terbit dengan tiras yang tergolong pas-pasan, yaitu di bawah 10.000 eksemplar. Ketika masih ada majalah-majalah yang terbit dengan bahasa daerah, maka tentunya menjadi menarik untuk memberikan apresiasi atau kritik terhadap eksistensinya. Pertanyaan lebih lanjut, apa yang ingin dicapai majalah-majalah ini jika oplahnya minim? Salah satu argumentasi yang bisa dijelaskan adalah masalah ideologi majalah. Tulisan ini hendak menguraikan tanda-tanda visual yang muncul pada sampul majalah Djaka Lodang, sebagai salah satu majalah berbahasa Jawa, kemudian membongkar ideologi yang mengendap di balik tanda-tanda tersebut. Ideologi yang menggerakkan majalah juga menjadi ideologi yang dihadirkan dalam keseluruhan desain majalah. Objek penelitian adalah majalah "Djaka Lodang"™, sebuah majalah berbahasa Jawa sebagai contoh kasus untuk mengurai permasalahan ideologi ditampilkan melalui tanda-tanda visual dalam sampulnya. Majalah Djaka Lodang adalah sebuah praktik atau manifestasi ideologi Jawa, karena di dalam majalah tersebut memuat nilai-nilai yang diyakini oleh kebudayaan Jawa sebagai konteks dari majalah itu, serta gagasan yang ingin dikomunikasikan kepada masyarakat Jawa (sasarannya). Sebagai sebuah praktik ideologis, maka tanda-tanda visual yang ada pada majalah berbahasa Jawa bisa diurai dan dimaknai dalam kerangka ideologi Jawa. Pada sampul majalah, tanda-tanda visual menjadi unsur pembangun yang paling dominan yang bisa diurai melalui analisis semiotik untuk melihat argumentasi ideologis yang ada di balik tanda-tanda tersebut.

Abstract

After the revocation of prohibition of Chinese language usage in 2000 by President Abdurrahman Wahid, corporate's identity signs using Chinese letters are flourishing Indonesia. The appearances of identity sign using Chinese letters in the last 10 years is quite confusing considering not many people can read them. The function of identity signs to convey information for public are not fully achieved. Study about how the usage of Chinese letter as a foreign language in identity sign in Bandung with low level of interpretation but can create strong image with high rate of effectiveness and also about the philosophy of Chinese culture contained in the elements that formed identity sign such as name selection, logo shape, Chinese typography, and color, has not been written.This study assess the existence of restaurant's/cafe's identity sign located in Bandung, West Java. By analyzing the elements in Chinese letter identity sign, this study seeks to evaluate the legibility of Chinese letter identity signs. Knowing the exact level of effectiveness of a identity sign for the next design, designers can notice more the recipient background, so they can still functioning as identity sign and convey information about the existence of restaurants and cafes. In addition, this study tries to identify the elements of Chinese culture contained in the Chinese letter identity sign, by elaborating visual element analysis of identity signs, such as: the selection of names, colors, shapes, the usage of symbols in Chinese culture and font type. Chinese society is a society that its culture has evolved over thousands of years. Starting from the color in Chinese culture has its own significance, also typical objects in Chinese culture has profound meaning for the people. Some elements of Chinese culture can be felt so deeply in restaurant/cafe identity sign that is designed in Chinese letter.Chinese letter that serves as text to convey information becomes ineffective, because of its presence in Bandung, a city that the majority of communities can not speak Chinese. Therefore, Chinese characters used in identity signs in Bandung shift their function from text (logotype) to be ornaments (logogram) that give the feel and identity of Chinese. So text message is no longer the main thing to be said, but image is, as a primary goal to be conveyed.

Abstract

Credit card becomes one of the popular banking transaction media. One of the facts is that nowadays credit cards are used in most product and service businesses. Another fact is that credit cards can accommodate their user's lifestyle and shopping habit. In fact, in Indonesia the credit card advertisements have been so abundant that they give an impression of the aggressiveness of the companies producing them and the an impression that it is easy to get the advertised credit cards. Each established bank like BNI, BCA, and Mandiri has its own way of advertising its credit card. It was found that the three banks used each own creative strategy to market or advertise its own credit card and its other credit card-like products.The purpose of this research to see the similarities among the three banks' credit cards and among their other credit card-like products, both of which were the subjects of this study. The methodology used in this study is juxtaposition one. In addition, the approach employed was semiotics. The latter was used to analyze the message construction in each visual advertisement, particularly in its message meaning and visual sign. Since both the semiotics and creative strategy approach are not adequate to analyze the message construction, the interdisciplinary approach was used. Therefore, advertising, message, and persuasive psychology theory were employed in this study. The advertising theory was used to analyze the anatomy, type, and display of advertisement. As for the message theory, it was used to analyze both the message delivery techniques and the message styles that were used in the advertisements. As to the persuasive psychology, it was used to analyze the method each credit card advertisement employed in persuading its target audience.The analyses shows that the credit cards of the three banks shared some similarities and differences as far as the creative strategy is concerned. One of the similarities is that they tend to use emotional strategy in their advertisements although each bank, in fact, use different emotional strategy approach. BNI bank tends to use psychological approach in its creative strategy; Mandiri Bank tends to use psychological and sociological approach equally; and BCA bank tends to use sociological approach thoroughly in its creative strategy.
