DESIGN OF PICTURE STORY BOOK “RASHA AND HER BELOVED CAT” AS A CHILDREN’S CHARACTER EDUCATION MEDIA

Abstract

The importance of caring awareness of various types of animals must be cultivated from an early age so that humans (both adults and children) have sensitivity to them. Planting character education from an early age (especially in children) is carried out so that they have a sense of love for fellow humans and other creatures. This can be achieved through formal, informal, and non-formal education. The purpose of this study project is to produce a design for the picture story book “Rasha & his beloved cat” as a medium for character education for children. The process of creating this illustrated storybook is carried out using digital techniques as a whole through the Procreate software and Adobe Photoshop CS 6 using the Ipad Air 3 hardware and the ASUS S451LB Laptop. The stages in the process of creating this picture story book start from the pre-production, production and post-production stages. This picture story book consists of 26 pages consisting of text and illustrations. This picture story book is set in domestic life so that children can connect with the storyline. The story scripts and pictures contained in this book contain values to form positive children's characters and care for animals and the environment.
