Application of Works Visual Basic in Room Café

Abstract

Visual Basic is a practical course that studies composition and is a compulsory subject for students of graphic design courses at Widyatama University. In studying composition, of course there must be an object to be composed, namely design elements, there must also be a method or method to compose it, namely design principles. Once it can be composed it will produce a contrasting visual perception or harmony. The underlying theory of visual perception is Gestalt theory. Usually in the curriculum of basic course subjects are studied in 2 semesters namely in semester 1 learn the technical ways of composing and in semester 2 learn exploration in shapes and colors. However, in the graphic design study program at Widyatama University, which has vocational education pathways, the second semester basic course has been directed to application or applied, that is, each of the results of his work or work must be applied to real media, one of which is applied to the café room. In the application process, the basic visual works are affixed to one of the cafes' wall spaces. Of course, the work must match the character of the room and in the end the result must add to the aesthetic and comfortable atmosphere. In the teaching and learning process in the basic course, an experimental approach is used in processing the composition, of course there is a continuous development process in the process of creating assignments. The purpose of this research is to find a learning method or model that can be applied to students in general as a tutorial.
