Iqbal Ramadhani Mukhlis — 2024-12-23

This study aims to develop an effective Decision Support System (DSS) in the process of the rice aid program. The Weighted Product (WP) method is used as the basis for decision-making to determine the receipt of rice aid. This DSS is designed to assist program organizers in selecting rice aid recipients more efficiently and objectively. The Weighted Product method is used to calculate the weight value of each criterion given by the rice aid recipient. This study's results can positively contribute to increasing efficiency and transparency in decision-making for the rice aid program. With this Weighted Product-based DSS, it is hoped that the selection process for rice aid recipients can be carried out more objectively and measurably so that the program's benefits can be more evenly distributed and targeted.

Irvan Cristian Hartanto — 2024-12-23

Anxiety disorders are serious psychological conditions that are often overlooked or misunderstood by the public. To raise awareness of anxiety disorders, using visual elements such as photographs and illustrations has become a popular approach. This study used an experimental approach in which participants were exposed to informational materials about anxiety disorders in the form of photographs and illustrations. These visual elements were designed with semiotics to create clear interpretations that the wider community can directly accept. The results of this study are expected to provide better insight into the effectiveness of using visuals in raising awareness of anxiety disorders, as well as its practical implications in mental health education for the community.

Improving Understanding of Biome Material through 2D Illustrations: A Visual Approach in Geography Learning

Jeff Minson — 2024-12-23

Biome is one of the materials used in geography. In the biome distribution material, there is a lot of information about the natural conditions, animals, and plants of each biome type. The large amount of information and the delivery of material dominated by text can make it difficult for teenagers to remember or understand the material because they will get bored more quickly when reading text that fills the page, therefore additional instruments are needed to help deliver the material. This study aimed to show the advantages of using 2D illustrations in delivering material and is expected to encourage the creation of more enjoyable but still meaningful learning materials. Through a literature study research approach, researchers collected and analyzed data from journals on visuals with related themes, namely illustration, education, and the distribution of flora and fauna. Through this study, it can be concluded that 2D illustration is one of the media that can attract readers' attention and make readers more comfortable and easy to receive information. In addition to being a complement to information, illustrations can also make it easier for teenagers to remember the shapes of animals, plants, and the natural conditions of a biome. Researchers believe that information from the material on types of biomes can be delivered more effectively and can maintain students' interest in reading with the help of illustrations.

Rio Febriannur Rachman — 2024-12-23

This study analyzes the Islamic values contained in the movie Siksa Kubur by Joko Anwar, which garnered four million viewers in theaters and was streamed on the OTT platform Netflix. The research adopts a qualitative approach using Foucauldian discourse analysis to explore the narrative and cinematic elements of the film as described by Himawan Pratista. The findings reveal that the film presents a discourse on Islamic values through visual and narrative representations of morality, the afterlife, and the relationship between knowledge and power. This discourse illustrates how religious values, such as the concepts of sin, punishment, and repentance, are internalized through cinematic elements such as dim lighting, eerie sound effects, and the symbolic depiction of Islamic culture. This study contributes to the body of Islamic media studies, particularly by uncovering the spiritual dimensions and the influence of religious discourse on the formation of subjectivity and moral identity in society.

Frederik Prasidya Prakasita — 2024-12-24

“OLSEN” is a very new coffee shop in Semarang. This design aims to visualize the identity of the “OLSEN” coffee shop. The logo design is based on a unique selling proposition (USP), which is elaborated with the business development concept: a coffee shop with a family feel. In identifying the USP, the qualitative descriptive analysis method of strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T) or SWOT is used. The data used is primary data collected through interviews and observations. Starting from the basis of the USP, the logo developed is a type of logotype with a choice of bold San Serif capital letters and an orange color choice. The logo is made minimalist to give a light, homey, and friendly impression. The logo is added with the slogan "Caffeine Supply" to give a unique and contemporary impression and is not generic. The minimalist logo design was chosen because the “OLSEN” coffee shop is a coffee shop that has not been operating for long, so the logo is expected to make it easier for consumers to remember the “OLSEN” coffee shop.

Glennesha Geneviene — 2024-12-24

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure) is an act in which someone imitates the identity or character of an anime, comic, cartoon, or another famous character by wearing clothes, hats, wigs, shoes, and other accessories. The development of cosplay as pop culture in Indonesia provides many opportunities for ordinary people, especially teenagers, to start this hobby. However, there are still many beginner teenagers and ordinary people who do not have the resources to start cosplay. Therefore, designing comics as an educational medium to start cosplay is very much needed so that beginners can get direction and get the essence of cosplay in it. The method used in this design is qualitative descriptive and phenomenology with professional cosplayers, the Surabaya cosplay community (COSURA), and also comic artist Kang Cilok. The results of this study are expected to provide education on how to start a cosplay hobby for beginners in an entertaining way and can be used as a reference for the development of further educational comics.
