INDONESIA PRAY FOR JAPAN

A week ago, 11th March 2011, Japan was stricken by the largest tsunami catastrophe in the history of earthquakes in Japan, about 140 years. Namely the undersea quake measuring 8.9 that has caused huge waves that flooded parts of the east coast, even the waves reached a height of 10 meters. This disaster has caused tremendous damages and brought lots of casualties.

I made this INDONESIA PRAY FOR JAPAN poster and postcards series as an expression of my grief to people in Japan. The metaphor of the two national flag as a metaphor of Indonesia and Japan which melting together, helping each other, on which it forms a drop of blood, which represent disaster, death, and sorrow, also a tear drop which shows sadness and mourning to the victim of tsunami in Japan. The flower pattern on the red side is from Balm Flower which means “sympathy”, (which the Balm itself could cure some injuries) and the pattern on the white side are White Verbena Flower, which means “pray for me”.

There’s also postcards which you can use to send to people especially those in Japan to show your sympathy and give them supports. The back of the postcards idea adapted from Hinomaru Yosegaki (日の丸寄せ書き / Good Luck Flag) which is a Japanese traditional flag that was given to a soldier and was tradition for friends and family to sign it with wishes of good fortune. You can download the free postcards here. Just print it back and forth on a piece of thick A4 paper,and you’ll get postcards to send to your friends in Japan.

I’M PRAYING FOR JAPAN.

Hero Business Card

A small project, designing for my uncle’s business card. He’s an expert in teaching English to the people. I made the business card based on the way my uncle teach English (and his personality, which is grey shows maturity) and what people do in the process of learning English both in verbal & written ways on which I visualize using the icons for the pattern on the back. Let’s learn English!

SILVER & EYELINER

When I was running my internship subject from my college, I was working as a graphic designer on C.O.D a design concierge in Kemang, South Jakarta. I work on so many kind of graphic design project, such as geology book, a website interface for security service company, until promotion items for make up products. In the end of it, I have to make a report about my internship, so I start to design this report book, and I name it SILVER & EYELINER, inspired from the wide range kind of works I’ve been involved into. Silver is a kind of metallic chemical element that comes from that geology book, and eyeliner comes from a lot of fashion products that I work within my design that time, those two show a contrast perception and makes a nice rhymes.

Special thanks to: C.O.D a design concierge

Masa Depan Pendidikan DKV: Makin Sakti atau Mati Kreasi?

FDGI Share #12 & FDGI and friends! #22 is an educational sharing event held by FDGI (Forum Desain Grafis Indonesia / Indonesian Graphic Design Forum) in Fresh N’ Brite 2010 on 6th November 2010. The main topic of this event is “Masa Depan Pendidikan DKV: Makin Sakti atau Mati Kreasi?” (The Future of Visual Communication Design Education: Increasingly Powerful or Death of Creativity?) which is reviewing a lot of perspective about Visual Communication Design education these days by some expert as: Arief Adityawan, Sumbo Tinarbuko, Rio Adiwijaya, and many more, with Eka Sofyan Rizal as the moderator.

I was inspired by Bauhaus design style for this publishing material because (related to the main topic) the graphic design itself became the education method and find its own form on the Bauhaus period, which is the graphic design education method in Indonesia itself became a big question mark on this event and need to be reviewed fundamentally.
