PERANCANGAN BUKU ENSIKLOPEDIA “WASTRA NUSANTARA: WARISAN BUDAYA INDONESIA” SEBAGAI MEDIA EDUKASI TERHADAP REMAJA DEWASA USIA 18-24 TAHUN

Abstract

Indonesia has a wealth of archipelago literary heritage that has existed since the days of its forefathers. With its sacred motifs, wastra was originally used as oversized clothing that was only worn on certain occasions. In this modern era, the use of textiles has certainly experienced a shift towards a more modern direction as well. Many of the younger generation are starting to echo the 'wearing' movement as a form of their love for and preservation of literature. However, most of them do not know the types and meanings of literature in Indonesia. Therefore, the design of this encyclopedia book is here to be an educational alternative for the younger generation about what wastra is and the true meaning of wastra. In the design process, three stages of the method were used, namely the preparation stage, the design stage, and the evaluation stage. In these three stages, the involvement of the target audience, namely the younger generation of literary activists, also contributed by the presence of several samples to provide insight about literature and reading interest of the younger generation. All elements in the book are adjusted accordingly to the insight given by the sample. With this book, it is hoped that it will be the best alternative for the younger generation to understand the meaning of wastra for the Indonesian nation. Fabric trends can be a container for the preservation of wastra in a modern format, but it should be remembered that we must also understand what the true meaning of wastra is for the Indonesian nation.
