Pameran Karya Siswa SMSR Di JNM

Sedikitnya 200 karya siswa kelas 3 SMSR Yogyakarta (SMK Negeri 3 Kasihan) digelar di Jogja Nasional Museum (JNM) Gampingan Yogyakarta, 9 - 13 Juni 2009. Karya-karya yang dipamerkan merupakan hasil tugas akhir (TA) siswa kelas 3 program keahlian Seni Lukis, Seni Patung, Desain Grafis, Kria Kayu, dan Kria Keramik.

Kepala Sekolah Haris Wahyudi mengatakan, pameran tugas akhir selalu diupayakan digelar di luar kampus, meskipun sekolah sudah memiliki galeri yang cukup representatif buat pameran. Tujuan utama pameran menurut Haris agar siswa lebih percaya diri dan memiliki pengalaman berpameran di tempat yang telah dikenal publik. Lebih dari itu, pameran bertujuan agar nama SMSR Yogyakarta yang sudah dikenal masyarakat ini dapat tetap eksis.

Pameran tugas akhir ini dibuka oleh Suwarno Wisetrotomo, pengamat seni rupa yang juga alumnus SMSR Yogyakarta. Dihadiri oleh mitra kerja, Komite Sekolah, dan seluruh orang tua/wali siswa kelas 3. Pada event ini sekaligus dilakukan upacara penyerahan siswa kepada orang tua sebagai wujud pertanggungjawaban sekolah terhadap pelanggan.

Pagelaran batik ala Harajuku pukau ratusan anak muda Jepang

Minggu, 30 Nopember 08 Tokyo, Koran Internet:
Tepuk tangan riuh diiringi hentakan musik hip-hop menjadi saksi kemeriahan pagelaran busana batik bergaya Harajuku (busana kontemporer anak muda Jepang) yang dihadiri sekitar 200 kawula muda Jepang yang memadati sebuah klub malam di kawasan Roppongi, Tokyo, Sabtu malam. Sebanyak 44 koleksi dari perancang busana Tiarma Sirait ditampilkan oleh belasan model cantik dan langsing asal Jepang, sebagai bagian dari acara peringatan 50 tahun hubungan persahabatan Indonesia - Jepang. Setiap kali sejumlah model tampil di atas catwalk, decak kagum dan tatapan mata pengunjung tidak pernah lepas dari lenggak-lenggok gerakan para model yang malam itu mengenakan batik dengan warna yang mencolok mata berpadu dengan corak batik yang saling "bertabrakan" . "Heeee, sugoi (hebat, red)," begitu komentar seorang gadis muda Jepang usai menyaksikan pagelaran yang dihadiri juga oleh kalangan diplomat, wartawan dan juga sejumlah pebisnis muda Jepang. "Saya memang sengaja membuat busana batik untuk kalangan anak muda Jepang, kalangan yang dengan mudah untuk tertarik dengan sesuatu yang baru," kata Tiarma Sirait kepada Antara usai pagelaran. Tiarma yang baru saja mendapat penghargaan bergengsi dari Olympic Fine Art atas karya lukisnya itu begitu tertarik menggelar pameran busana batik yang menargetkan kaum muda Jepang. Begitu mendapat tawaran dari Javarism, panitia yang menggelar acara tersebut, ia langsung saja menyatakan setuju. "Memperkenalkan Indonesia saat ini tentu memerlukan cara yang lebih kreatif. Batik bergaya Harajuku bisa menjadi awal perkenalan akan Indonesia dari cara yang bisa diterima kalangan muda Jepang," kata Tiarma yang juga memboyong sebanyak 200 karyanya untuk dijual pada malam itu. Menurut dia batik memang sudah cukup dikenal di Jepang, tetapi belum menjadi suatu fashion pilihan, padahal potensi batik untuk menjadi busana dunia sangat luar biasa. Tokyo, sebagai salah satu bagian dari tren mode dunia merupakan tempat yang perlu terus dipilih sebagai ajang pagelaran batik agar memiliki gaung yang juga mendunia. Sementara itu, Dubes Jusuf Anwar mengemukakan bahwa pagelaran "Harjutik" atau perpaduan gaya Harajuku dan batik merupakan keberanian anak muda Indonesia untuk menampilkan karya kreatifnya di luar negeri. "Memperkenalkan Indonesia tidak selalu melalui acara-acara resmi, tetapi pagelaran seni busana juga bisa menjadi ajang diplomasi yang baik untuk mengenalkan Indonesia secara berbeda," kata mantan menteri keuangan itu.

EDITORIAL STYLE ONLINE STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY Online style

For most Web writing you should assume that your carefully crafted prose will not be read word by word. This is not the case, of course, for texts such as journal articles or teaching materials: in many cases these more complicated texts will be printed and read offline. But most online information is best presented using short segments of texts written in a clear, concise style and with ample use of editorial landmarks.

Prose style

Our writing style example below explains the steps involved in creating a successful Web site. The first style is vague and verbose. The second is concise: we simply list the facts. It is this second writing style that is most suitable for Web documents. Most Web readers are looking for information, and they find it not by reading a Web page word by word but rather by scanning the page for relevant items.

Vague and verbose. You must read every word in this paragraph in order to understand the steps involved in creating Web sites:

Web site development is a complex process that involves many steps and tasks that range from budgeting to design and evaluation. First, you need to define the scope of your project and determine a budget for site development. Then you need to survey and map the structure of your information. The next step is to establish a look and feel for your site, and then comes the actual construction of your site. Once your site is finished you need to make sure people know that it's there and how to find it. Finally, you should spend time evaluating your site's effectiveness. As you embark on the process of developing a Web site, keep these steps in mind and make sure that you have the organizational backing, budget, and personnel you need to make the project a success.

Concise and factual. In this version, we turned the wordy explanation of the process into a concise list of steps to follow:

The process of developing a Web site generally follows these steps:

Site definition and budgeting
Information architecture
Site design
Site construction
Site marketing
Tracking and evaluation

Before beginning to develop a Web site, make sure you have the organizational backing, budget, and personnel you need to perform these steps successfully.

Other stylistic considerations

Be frugal. Make sure that the text you present is worth something to the reader. Avoid empty chatter like welcome text or instructions on how to use the site. Users should be able to determine who you are by your navigation and page design, and your interface should be clear enough that it doesn't require instructions. Don't use the first paragraph of each page to tell users what information they'll find there. Instead, start with the information, written in the concise and factual prose style shown above.
Stick to the point. Write in easily understood sentences. Steer clear of clever headings and catchy but meaningless phrases that users must think about and explore further to understand.
Cultivate a voice. Web readers welcome a measure of individuality from their information sources. With so many competing sources, a unique voice may help distinguish your pages, but beware of going "over the top." When it comes to attitude, there is a fine line between engaging and annoying.
Think globally. Remember that you are designing documents for the World Wide Web and that your audience may not understand conventions specific to your little corner of the world. For example, when including dates, use the international date format of day / month / year . Also, avoid metaphors and puns that may make sense only in the context of your language and culture.

TYPOGRAPHY CONSISTENCY PHOTOGRAPHY Consistency

As in traditional print publishing, high-quality Web sites adhere to established type style settings consistently throughout the site. Consistency gives polish to a site and encourages visitors to stay by creating an expectation about the structure of a text. If sloppy, inconsistent formatting confounds this expectation, you will confuse your readers and they may not return.

You should decide on such settings as fonts, inter-paragraph spacing, the size of subheads, and so on and then create a written style guide to help you maintain these settings as you develop the site. This step is especially critical for large sites that incorporate numerous pages.

If you choose to use CSS you will have powerful tools to maintain the consistency of styles throughout your site. This is particularly true if you opt to use a master style sheet for your whole site via the "Link" option in CSS .

Example: Plain HTML page


Example: Page with HTML and CSS
