Perancangan Buku Ilustratif Edukasi Dasar Berkegiatan di Alam Khususnya Pendakian Gunung untuk Semesta Outdoor Adventure Shop

Mountain hiking is an enjoyable outdoor activity but carries high risks if done without adequate knowledge and preparation. Many beginner hikers are unaware of the importance of physical readiness, proper equipment, basic survival techniques, and environmental ethics, making them vulnerable to accidents, getting lost, hypothermia, or damaging nature. On the other hand, visually appealing and easy-to-understand printed educational media specifically designed for beginners remains very limited, even though the need for practical and informative guidance continues to grow along with the popularity of hiking among the public. This final project aims to design an illustrative book that delivers fundamental hiking knowledge in an engaging and informative way for beginners. The design process applies a user-centered graphic design approach through observation, literature study, interviews, and questionnaires. The final work is an A5 printed book using a semi-flat illustration style, modular layout, and a natural color scheme aligned with outdoor themes. The content covers hiking planning, gear selection, basic knots, navigation, first aid, risk management, and the Leave No Trace principles. This book serves as a practical educational guide and a promotional medium for Semesta Outdoor Adventure Shop. This work is expected to contribute to the development of graphic design media that is educational, easy to understand, and solution-oriented.

Kegiatan pendakian gunung merupakan aktivitas luar ruang yang menyenangkan namun berisiko tinggi jika dilakukan tanpa pengetahuan dan persiapan yang cukup. Banyak pendaki pemula belum memahami pentingnya kesiapan fisik, perlengkapan, teknik bertahan hidup, dan etika lingkungan sehingga rentan mengalami kecelakaan, tersesat, hipotermia, atau merusak alam. Di sisi lain, media edukasi berbentuk cetak yang secara visual menarik, mudah dipahami, dan khusus ditujukan untuk pemula masih sangat terbatas, padahal kebutuhan akan panduan praktis yang informatif terus meningkat seiring populernya pendakian di kalangan masyarakat. Tugas Akhir ini bertujuan untuk merancang sebuah buku ilustratif yang menyampaikan pengetahuan dasar pendakian gunung secara informatif dan menarik bagi pemula. Perancangan dilakukan dengan pendekatan desain grafis berbasis pengguna melalui metode observasi, studi pustaka, wawancara, dan kuesioner. Hasil karya berupa buku cetak A5 dengan gaya ilustrasi semi-flat, layout modular, dan skema warna natural sesuai tema alam bebas. Isi buku meliputi perencanaan pendakian, perlengkapan, simpul dasar, navigasi, pertolongan pertama, manajemen risiko, dan prinsip Leave No Trace. Buku ini menjadi panduan edukatif praktis sekaligus media promosi bagi Semesta Outdoor Adventure Shop. Karya ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi pada pengembangan media desain grafis yang edukatif, mudah dipahami, dan solutif.
