DESIGNING WEBSITE AS PROMOTIONAL MEDIA FOR THE ARTWORKS BY PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF UILS (UNIT INFORMASI LAYANAN SOSIAL, UNIT OF SOCIAL SERVICE INFORMATION) MERUYA, JAKARTA

Abstract

The non-profit organizations, especially the ones under the government authority, have strict layout of media design and such design definitely draws less attention for the viewers; whereas, the presence of such media as a support tool is significantly important. Through the interesting display of media design, the information that has been delivered will be understood well by the viewers. In other words, the presence of media with insufficient design will be useless. This situation has been experienced by UILS (Unit Informasi Layanan Sosial, Unit of Social Service Information) Meruya; this unit has produced numerous information media in the form of brochures and social media but the information that has been put in these media are still low. This situation is in contradiction to the number of activities that the unit has performed and one of these activities is creating artworks that has sale value. In relation to this finding, the Faculty of Design and Creative Art and the Unit of Community Service from Mercu Buana University has conducted Community Service Program in February 14th
– 15, 2019 in the form of productive activities for UILS Meruya. The Community Service Program, that has been provided in the form of web design and management training, has earned good appreciation from UILS Meruya. Now, through the website, UILS Meruya does not only access information from the Internet but also promote the artworks by psychotic patients through the Internet.
