The event was opened with an opening remark from the Chairman of HMP Pendidikan Fisika, Muhammad Khairul Annam Najahy, who mentioned that this event is important because the publication of the event during the pandemic requires a graphic design to attract more participants. The event was followed by a material presentation from Muhammad Fathurridlo, who shared materials on design as campaign media. Therefore, designers need to understand many types of media.

“We need to understand the types of design for campaign media or publication of an event. There are banners, posters, flyers, and others. Match the design with the need of your event,” Fathur stated.

Fathur also explained the components of campaign media, especially posters. “In general, the components of a poster are the host, name of the event, sub-theme of the event, names of speakers, place, time, platform, link, contact person, the benefits of the event, and sponsors if any,” Fathur said.

He added materials on tips in designing campaign media for publication, such as determining the grand theme, consistency, matching the target audiences, and measurable. Designers need to ensure that the contents are correct because it will affect the composition of the design. Designers also need to match their design with their audiences and the event, for example, the use of bright and colorful parts for an exciting event.

Fathur added a simulation of design making using Figma in his materials. He explained that Figma could be used for many things; it also provides teamwork use, offers diverse features, and is free to use. The event was concluded with a question-and-answer session, discussion, and group picture. Humas UNS
