COMIC DESIGN "TRIO MANTAP" AS FOREST AND LAND FIRE PREVENTION EFFORT

Abstract

Forest and land fires are serious environmental problems that can destroy an ecosystem. Not only causing ecological losses, but also health, economic, socio-cultural to political. In an effort to prevent forest and land fires, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry uses Komik Trio Mantap as an intermediary medium in educating the public, especially the younger generation, in responding to and preventing forest and land fires. The drawing style applied in the comics is cartoonist and brightly colored. The comic is done digitally with A4 size 300dpi including cover and 20 pages of illustrations and produces 3 A5-sized prototypes. Utilizing a variety of shooting angles that aim to make the illustration look more varied and dynamic, including establishing shots, long shots, medium shots, and so on. Discussed about the Fire Care Community training activity which was attended by Trio Mantap because of their interest and curiosity. In addition to introducing MPA, this comic also presents a number of alternative activities that can reduce the potential for land forest fires. It is hoped that the results of the comic design can help convey information related to preventing land forest fires properly.
