Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi digital telah menuntut generasi muda untuk memiliki keterampilan kreatif yang adaptif, salah satunya melalui desain grafis. Namun, di SMPN 11 Denpasar, khususnya siswa kelas VII, kemampuan desain grafis masih tergolong rendah. Hal ini terlihat dari minimnya pemahaman terhadap prinsip dasar desain, keterbatasan fasilitas, serta rendahnya pemanfaatan perangkat lunak desain yang mudah diakses. Tim pengabdian merancang program pelatihan desain poster berbasis aplikasi Canva, yang dipilih karena aksesibilitas, kemudahan penggunaan, dan kelengkapan fitur yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa SMP. Pelatihan dirancang melalui tiga tahap, yakni persiapan, pelaksanaan, serta penutup dan refleksi. Pada tahap persiapan, dilakukan koordinasi dengan sekolah dan penyusunan modul pembelajaran. Tahap pelaksanaan terdiri dari empat sesi utama: pengenalan prinsip dasar desain grafis, pengenalan aplikasi Canva, latihan membuat poster berbasis template, dan pembuatan poster mandiri. Sesi ini menggabungkan transfer pengetahuan, praktik langsung, dan presentasi hasil karya siswa. Tahap akhir berupa evaluasi, diskusi reflektif, dan pemberian apresiasi. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman siswa mengenai prinsip desain serta keterampilan teknis penggunaan Canva. Sebanyak 100 peserta mengikuti kegiatan dengan antusias, mampu menghasilkan poster yang lebih estetis, komunikatif, dan sesuai dengan prinsip desain. Program ini mendapat apresiasi tinggi dari siswa maupun pihak sekolah karena berhasil meningkatkan kepercayaan diri, kreativitas, serta kesadaran akan pentingnya desain grafis sebagai keterampilan strategis di era digital. Dengan demikian, pelatihan ini tidak hanya menjawab kebutuhan praktis sekolah, tetapi juga menjadi langkah strategis dalam menumbuhkan potensi generasi muda sebagai creativepreneur masa depan.

Review

The paper, titled 'Pelatihan Desain Poster Bagi Kelas VII di SMPN 11 Denpasar,' addresses the pressing need for digital creative skills among young learners in the current technological era. It highlights a concerning deficit in graphic design abilities among seventh-grade students at SMPN 11 Denpasar, attributing this to a lack of foundational understanding, limited resources, and underutilization of accessible design tools. In response to this identified gap, the authors developed and implemented a targeted training program focused on poster design, leveraging the user-friendly capabilities of the Canva application. This initiative aimed to equip students with essential graphic design competencies, thereby fostering their creativity and adaptability in the digital landscape. The methodology employed was structured into three distinct phases: preparation, implementation, and closing/reflection. The preparatory stage involved crucial coordination with the school and the development of tailored learning modules. The core implementation phase comprised four comprehensive sessions, progressing from an introduction to fundamental graphic design principles and the Canva application, through guided template-based practice, to the independent creation of original posters. This progressive approach, combining theoretical knowledge transfer with hands-on practice and peer presentation, proved highly effective. The results were notably positive, with 100 enthusiastic participants demonstrating significant improvement in both their grasp of design principles and technical proficiency with Canva. The students successfully produced posters that were not only aesthetically superior but also more communicative and adherent to established design standards. This intervention demonstrates a clear and valuable contribution to enhancing digital literacy and creative skills at the secondary school level. The program's success, evidenced by the high appreciation from both students and the school, underscores its immediate practical relevance in addressing a specific educational need. Furthermore, the reported increases in student confidence, creativity, and awareness of graphic design's strategic importance position this training as more than just a skill-building exercise; it serves as a foundational step towards nurturing future 'creativepreneurs.' The judicious choice of Canva, an accessible and feature-rich tool, is a particular strength, ensuring replicability and scalability. Overall, this paper presents a well-executed and impactful community service initiative that effectively bridges a critical skill gap and lays groundwork for developing strategic digital competencies in young learners.
