Design Journal, e-ISSN: 2964-6227 and p-ISSN: 2964-805X is a free and open-access journal published by the Research Division, YPMMA Institute, Indonesia. Design Journal is a well-established, leading international peer-reviewed journal covering many aspects of design. The journal is published two times a year and provides a lively forum for a broad audience of design scholars, researchers, practitioners, educators and managers worldwide. It aims to publish thought-provoking work which will have a direct impact on design knowledge and which challenges assumptions and methods, while being open-minded about the evolving role of design. The Design Journal is a well-established, leading international peer-reviewed journal covering many aspects of design. The journal is published two times a year and provides a lively forum for a broad audience of design scholars, researchers, practitioners, educators and managers worldwide. It aims to publish thought-provoking work which will have a direct impact on design knowledge and which challenges assumptions and methods, while being open-minded about the evolving role of design. To be considered for publication, articles must clearly articulate their relevance to either design practice, design research, design theory, design management or design education. We welcome high quality, original articles in the form of: Design Research Papers – primary research with specific methods findings and results Design Propositions – critical design, speculative design, propositional design – non-commercial, practice-based explorations that address significant contemporary issues in design and through design. Design Perspectives – position papers and philosophical discussions by experienced academics offering their perspectives on important design-related issues.

Abstract

The impact that self-concept and ego have on consumeristic habits often goes unnoticed each day, as mundane purchasing habits become invisible and methodical. Do we truly acknowledge the implications behind what we buy? We may all resonate with how marketing can shape our perspectives, particularly given the societal awareness of social media and its influence, but are we truly honest with ourselves when we look deeper into our own actions? This study identifies the ways in which self-concept and ego can manipulate individual actions and viewpoints in relation to consumerism, drawing out pivotal theoretical understandings within the context of today through literature review, speculative design, autoethnography, and critical design practice. It therefore offers a new perspective within the self-concept and ego lens, bringing a speculative global design attitude to the largely theoretical and academic groundings of the topic, and by opening this new scope onto the relationship between the self, the ego, and consumption, it allows for a personal and societal shift in understanding the impacts and manipulations that consumption can have, creating a speculative space for reflection and critical assessment.

Abstract

The decorative ornaments on the gebyok (wooden wall) of Sunan Drajat's tomb pavilion represent the cultural transition from Hinduism to Islam on Java's northern coast, yet studies of these ornaments remain largely confined to aesthetic and symbolic interpretation rather than applicable textile design. This study explores ornaments on two gebyok panels, CA3 and CB5, into contemporary fabric motifs using Motifia, a web-based pattern design platform from Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya, through a Research through Design approach comprising visual documentation, character analysis, ornament tracing, motif selection, and exploration. Motifs were selected based on contour clarity, representativeness of each panel's dominant character, and suitability for repetition, then composed according to modularity, repetition, symmetry, and visual balance. The exploration yielded eight distinct compositions, four from CA3 (lotus and tendril ornament) and four from CB5 (mountain, tree-of-life, and stylised lion-head ornament), with CB5-based compositions retaining the site's visual identity more strongly since their motifs are more distinctive to Sunan Drajat's tomb than the widely recurring lotus motif on CA3. The findings extend the design value of tomb ornaments beyond documentation, offering a replicable process for translating tangible heritage into applicable, culturally grounded motifs.
