Pelatihan CorelDraw Untuk Desain Grafis Bagi Siswa SMA Negeri I Grujugan

Abstract

The media for transmitting human information in daily life are mainly language and pictures, and scientific and statistical research shows that about 75% of the information humans get from the outside world comes from the visual system, which is obtained from pictures. This shows that image information plays a very important role in conveying information. Later, as technology developed, computers gradually became popular, and people began to use computers to process images. Graphic design is everywhere in modern life, including in packaging, advertisements, books and websites, among many others. Designs are often difficult to create, as they must convey information clearly while also serving an aesthetic goal. Designers now also have to create designs for a variety of display sizes, from mobile phones to posters, and often have to retarget designs of various sizes. Also, many designs are created by inexperienced users with little training in graphic design. Automated tools for creating, adapting, and improving graphic designs can be of great help to designers, and in particular, novice users. Grujugan High School sets graduate targets as educational outcome standards, including: 1) Strong Aqidah, 2) Karimah Morals 3) High academic achievement, 3) Strong leadership, 4) Excellent physical condition, 5) Disciplined, 6) National, global and insightful Islamic, 7) have the basics of entrepreneurial spirit, 8) have basic skills for work, and 9) be independent and have a social spirit. To achieve these output targets in order to achieve the school's vision, the school establishes a school curriculum that combines the National curriculum, namely the Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP) and the school's distinctive curriculum.
