Abstract

After wayang kulit, and batik, received recognition from UNESCO in 2008, the challenge that arises is how to make teens want to maintain, preserve, and develop it by not damaging the roots of tradition. How to make teenager re-recognize wayang as traditional communi-cation media? One solution offered is by designing wayang cakrik batik as an effort to de-velop traditional communication media. The data found states that most teenagers cannot recognize the forms of puppet characters. These designs still try to consider the authenticity of the form so as not to break the roots of tradition. Using the DKV research methodology, my research aims to produce wayang cakrik batik. The design is carried out using the prin-ciples and elements of visual communication design, as well as considering intra-esthetic and extra-esthetic factors. The results of wayang cakrik batik show that the teenager more easily recognize the form and character of shadow puppet characters.
