From Sketches to the Screen: Visual Communication Design Students of ISI Bali Bring Stories to Life Through Animation.
Denpasar, Bali – An atmosphere of enthusiasm filled the screening room as students of the Visual Communication Design (VCD) Study Program at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Bali presented their latest animated video works. These works represent the students’ creative explorations, combining technical proficiency with communicative concepts, resulting in visual presentations that are not only aesthetically engaging but also rich in social messages.

The animated videos showcased a wide range of illustration styles and animation techniques, from expressive two-dimensional approaches to more dynamic three-dimensional experiments. Each work reflected the students’ individual creative identities while demonstrating their ability to construct clear and effective visual narratives. The audience—comprising lecturers, students from various disciplines, and stakeholders—expressed their appreciation for the students’ courage in addressing contemporary issues through the medium of animation.
This screening was not merely an exhibition of student works, but an integral part of the learning process embedded within the Animation Course of the VCD curriculum at ISI Bali. The production of these animated videos constituted a course assignment designed to develop students’ mastery of advertising concepts, visual storytelling, and technical production skills. As such, the activity functioned as an authentic learning platform, enabling students to test their competencies while receiving direct feedback from the audience.
The central theme explored in this series of animations was public service advertising. Students were challenged to convey important messages related to environmental awareness, health, traffic safety, and local cultural values. Through creative approaches, these messages were packaged into animations that are accessible, easy to understand, and emotionally engaging. This demonstrates that animation serves not only as a form of entertainment, but also as an effective medium for education and social campaigns.

The screening concluded with a discussion session involving students, lecturers, and audience members. This forum provided space for reflection on the role of animation as a communication medium that responds to societal needs. Students were encouraged to develop not only technical expertise, but also sensitivity to the social issues emerging in their surroundings.
Through the successful implementation of this screening, ISI Bali reaffirmed its commitment to producing visual communication designers who are creative, critical, and ethical. The students’ animated works stand not only as evidence of academic achievement, but also as tangible contributions to fostering social awareness through visual media.

The Chair of the Fashion Show Organizing Committee, Grace Febbythadewi Simbang, reported that a total of 213 fashion works created by 71 students were presented in the final project dissemination of the ISI Bali Berdampak Program entitled “Diversity of Indonesia #9.” Each student produced three fashion works, consisting of ready-to-wear, ready-to-wear deluxe, and semi-couture collections.
For the first time since 2016, the fashion show was held over two days, on Saturday (24/1) and Sunday (25/1). On the first day, 108 outfits by 36 students were showcased, followed by 105 outfits by 35 students on the second day.
The dissemination process of the final projects underwent a series of lengthy and structured stages, beginning with proposal submission and design selection, followed by supervision and evaluation in collaboration with academic advisors, supported by partners from the Business and Industrial Sector (DUDI). During the creation process, students also conducted in-depth research on Indonesia’s cultural wealth, including explorations of traditional architecture, Nusantara flora and fauna, and local wisdom values as sources of design inspiration. The final stage of the process included professional photo sessions of the works and the fashion show presentation.
Grace expressed her sincere gratitude to all parties who supported the event. “I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the leadership of ISI Bali, the lecturers, DUDI partners who provided guidance, performers, alumni, and all supporting contributors. Without their support, this event would not have been possible,” stated the seventh-semester student of the Fashion Design Study Program.
The Rector of ISI Bali, Prof. Dr. I Wayan ‘Kun’ Adnyana, commended the dedication and hard work of the students in organizing the final project dissemination for the Odd Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Year. He emphasized that fashion shows constitute a central pillar in fashion design education and practice, as they serve as a platform for the actualization of ideas, creativity, and student professionalism. According to him, this activity reflects the quality and potential of a promising generation of Indonesian fashion designers nurtured within the academic environment of ISI Bali.
