| Summary: | This final project is designing picture story books that can educate young adults about the
impact of childhood trauma. This design needs to be done due to the lack of awareness
and knowledge of young adults about the behavior and thought patterns anomaly that
they feel in the present are due to the impact of childhood trauma that has not healed
which has carried over into adulthood. The research method was carried out in a
qualitative descriptive manner with data collection techniques from literature studies,
interviews, and questionnaires. The selected visual communication design media is a
picture story printed book. Printed media was chosen because the messages and
information received tend to be faster, more accurate, and easier to understand than
digital media (Ackerman & Goldsmith, 2011). The results and conclusions of this design
are 1) The most common causes of childhood trauma experienced by young adults in the
family sphere are emotional abuse and neglect. 2) Messages are conveyed implicitly
because young adults have reached the post-formal reasoning stage of cognitive
development, as well as to avoid giving the impression of being patronizing. 3) The design
concept is interactive picture story books with the design visual and media concept are
adapted for Gen Z young adults aged 18-26 years old. The drawing style concepts use
simplified method, textured brush, and warm, shady colors. Typography and language
concepts use Indonesian with 2 types of fonts: handwriting and sans serif. The concept of
composition is asymmetrical. There are also an explanatory page and interactive pages in
the form of blank pages that can be filled in by the reader. The dimensions of the book are
15x20 cm with a hard-cover and tik paper, also equipped with an acrylic metal bookmark |
