Focusing on Insight Unlimited’s retail installation, it explores how handmade textures act as signifiers that convey deeper meanings of community, faith, and sustainability. Using qualitative methods including expert interviews, case studies such as Hermès displays, and material experiments with bobble stitches and yarn painting the research reveals how crochet’s tactile nature naturalizes ideological messages, aligning with Barthes’ concept of myth. Viewers often interpret these displays beyond commercial intent, perceiving them as critiques of fast fashion or as spiritual reflections. The final 2m × 1m display at Kota Kasablanka Mall exemplifies how craft can challenge the norms of visual merchandising. The study contributes to semiotic analysis in retail design, integrates faith-driven design approaches, and highlights slow fashion aesthetics in commercial environments.</em></p> 2025-12-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Sharlene Louis https://ejournal.lapad.id/index.php/visart/article/view/1244 Penerapan Media Promosi Umkm Fataya Ecoprint 2025-12-12T04:37:25+00:00 Robi Ahmad Dans ibordsgn@gmail.com Yoni Sudiani onisudiani@gmail.com <p><em>Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have tremendous importance in the Indonesian economy.

While a normal part of development, excessive and prolonged anxiety can become a significant threat to a child's mental well-being and development. Therefore, it is of foundational importance to provide emotional literacy from an early age, empowering children to recognize and manage their worries, which in turn can reduce the likelihood of developing more severe anxiety disorders later in life. This study aims to address this critical need by designing a children's book that effectively helps children cope with feelings of worry. The book’s core methodology is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, which are adapted to be accessible and engaging for a young audience. To ensure the content is both psychologically sound and artistically effective, the research employs a descriptive qualitative method. This approach involves an extensive literature review to gain a deeper understanding of the depiction of worry, complemented by in-depth interviews with experts in the fields of child psychology and children's book illustration.

(7) The song “Baca Kitab Suci”. (8) The song Ku Kasihi Kau dengan Kasih Tuhan”. (9) The song “Kasihi Musuhmu”. Sunday School songs are taught to children during regular Sunday worship services. Teachers serve as role models in teaching the songs. In this process, Sunday School teachers utilize technology such as LCD monitors and loudspeakers to facilitate children's understanding of the songs. The repetitive use of songs can help children understand the values contained within the songs, particularly the character education values that are beneficial for child development.</em></p> 2025-12-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Lesta Mega Lesta https://ejournal.lapad.id/index.php/visart/article/view/1256 Strategi Promosi Kerajinan Besi Di Desa Limbang Jaya Kabupaten Ogan Ilir Sumatera Selatan 2025-12-13T12:47:29+00:00 M.Havest Al Fayed 2019620008@students.uigm.ac.id <p><em>Indonesia is renowned for its cultural diversity, with each region preserving significant historical and artistic values.

The growth of printing technologies both manual and digital has opened up broader opportunities for the realization of visual concepts rooted in diverse cultural traditions. One such rich visual and symbolic source is Japanese tattoo art (Irezumi), which historically and philosophically embodies values such as courage, resilience, harmony, and the cycle of life and death. Motifs such as koi fish, dragons, cherry blossoms, and phoenixes are characterized by bold outlines, soft gradients, and dense compositions, making them highly adaptable to the medium of graphic art. The objective of this creative project is to explain the visual characteristics and symbolic meanings of Japanese tattoo motifs as the conceptual basis for the creation of two-dimensional graphic artworks; to apply their aesthetic and philosophical values within a contemporary visual context; and to implement these motifs using appropriate visual strategies and printing techniques. The creative process involved digital design methods and the use of Direct to Film (DTF) printing technology on fabric media, enabling accurate and practical visual application. Theoretical studies supporting this work include analyses of Japanese tattoo symbolism, principles of graphic design, and the cultural values underlying the selection and adaptation of these motifs. The resulting works, including Up and Down and Dragon and Tiger, present visual interpretations of life’s dualities and the balance between spiritual and worldly forces.

It acts as a medium for conveying moral messages, a space for social interaction, and a means of character formation rooted in local wisdom. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with gambus performers and community leaders, and documentation of performances. The findings reveal that gambus art in Dusun Lantaboko embodies four main representations of character education values: (1) honesty, reflected in the spontaneity of the lyrics, openness of expression, and alignment of moral messages with social realities; (2) responsibility, manifested in the performers’ commitment to preserving the tradition, discipline in performance, and the community’s awareness of its collective role in cultural preservation; (3) creativity, evident in lyrical improvisation, originality of ideas, and the use of simple artistic tools as supporting instruments; and (4) mutual cooperation, expressed through community collaboration in preparing performances, voluntary social participation, and collective, non-formal patterns of cultural transmission</em></p> 2025-12-23T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Dzulfitra Ramadani Mar https://ejournal.lapad.id/index.php/visart/article/view/1419 Strategi Visual Animasi 2d Sebagai Media Edukasi Aksi Bersih Di Sungai Ciliwung 2025-12-23T01:40:51+00:00 Celine Hermawan celine.hermawan@student.pradita.ac.id <p><em>The Ciliwung River is a major waterway in Jakarta that has been heavily polluted due to indiscriminate waste disposal. This pollution damages ecosystems, triggers flooding, and reduces the quality of life of surrounding communities. The recurring pollution of the Ciliwung River indicates that technical mitigation efforts alone are insufficient without the development of environmental awareness from an early age. Children, as the next generation, play a strategic role in fostering sustainable pro-environmental behavior. The urgency of this research lies in the need for effective, communicative, and child-appropriate visual educational media, so that messages about river conservation can be received, understood, and applied in daily life. This study aims to design an educational 2D animation for children aged 8–12 years to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining river cleanliness. A qualitative approach is employed through interviews with World Cleanup Day Indonesia and residents living around the Ciliwung River, as well as a literature review on pollution and river cleanup efforts. The results will be developed into an animation featuring emotional storytelling, engaging visuals, and easily understood messages to encourage children to stop littering in rivers and actively participate in keeping them clean. It is expected that this animation will serve as an impactful educational medium for the environment and society.</em></p> 2025-12-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 celine hermawan https://ejournal.lapad.id/index.php/visart/article/view/1415 Permainan Papan Sebagai Media Peningkatan Kesadaran Generasi Z Terhadap Pelestarian Artefak Majapahit 2025-12-23T02:24:39+00:00 Claudia Gabriella Zefanya claudia.gabriella@student.pradita.ac.id <p><em>The Majapahit Kingdom left a wide range of artifacts that represent the height of its civilization and serve as important sources for understanding Indonesian culture and identity. However, Generation Z’s interest in Majapahit history remains relatively low, as history education is often delivered through conventional methods that feel distant and unengaging. In contrast, younger learners tend to prefer interactive learning media that encourage active participation. This study proposes the design of an educational board game themed around the preservation of Majapahit artifacts as an alternative learning medium. A board game is chosen for its ability to foster face-to-face interaction, encourage collaboration, and create an enjoyable learning experience. The game design applies fundamental board game principles, including mechanics, narrative, and visual elements, to effectively convey historical content. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection is conducted through interviews with expert informants, observation of existing history-themed board games, and a literature review on Majapahit history and game-based learning. By integrating educational and entertainment elements, this board game is expected to increase Generation Z’s awareness of the importance of preserving Majapahit historical artifacts while making history learning more relevant and engaging.</em></p> 2025-12-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Claudia Gabriella Zefanya -
