FREE WRITING

Today, I would like to share my writing from papers from three different colleges in Bandung which I had read several days ago. There are Polytechnic STTT Bandung, Indonesia University of Education, and Bandung Institute of Technology.

Depend on what I had seen, read, and looked, the three of it have differences and their own character. First, from Politecnic STTT Bandung I chose the paper which discuss about “DECORATIVE DESIGN WITH LACE MATERIAL ON WEDDING GOWN MERMAID SILHOUETTE” by Sabilla Mahsa from year 2009.

The cover looks so good. The printing of the cover is really clear. The title, logo, the name of college, and others are really clear to see and do not blur. The discussion is really interesting. She is not only serve her writing, but she also serves some pictures which make her writing clearer. Beside that she also gives an explanation on the picture, so we can understand what picture it is, what the meaning of the picture is, etc. She puts pictures not only in one page or in one discussion, but she also puts pictures in every page and discussion which need more pictures to make the explanation clearer.

This paper discusses if in this era, we don’t have to use expensive material to make a glamour and elegant wedding gown, but we can use cheap material such as lace for making it. Yes, maybe some people are still think that to make such glamor, elegant, and luxurious one, we need expensive and a lot of material beside a good design. But that thinking is not existing anymore. There are a lot of talented designers who can conjure up cheap material become luxurious one only with decorative design.

Lace is one of the material which Indonesian knows as the general material to make kebaya. Although this material cannot be luxurious gown as the expensive one, this simple wedding can be look more minimalize and this gown has the competitiveness with other wedding gown. 

Second, the paper from Indonesia University of Education. I think the cover or the printing are not good enough. Why? Because the title, the name of college, and others are not clear enough to read. It blurs, and sometimes if we do not take a picture of it carefully, the title or the name of college student cannot be read. Like what had happened to me. I took the picture of the cover, but the name of the college student and her year couldn’t be seen and read, I just can read her first name Hilda. Beside that I think the writing are little bit monotone because she puts a lot of writing and explanation, but she do not give some pictures to make it clearer. She just gives picture in a point. So, that’s why it makes me bored and lazy to read it more. And from the same course, between one and other paper the color that printed for the cover is different.

From this college, I chose paper with title “MANFAAT HASIL BELAJAR BUSANA PENGANTIN SEBAGAI PERSIAPAN MEMBUKA USAHA BUSANA PENGANTIN.” This paper discus about the benefit of learning about wedding gown. From this papers we can now what kind of materials and accessories which are usually used to make wedding gown. Beside that we can also learn some of characteristic of wedding gown from several regions such as Java, Sunda, Bali, Kalimantan, etc. We can also learn what should be prepared to open wedding gown business. 

The last one is paper from Bandung Institute of Technology. I chose the paper from Ahmad Arida from year 2011. Actually, this paper is different from both other which I had shared before. If the both one talk fashion design, this one talk about product design. If I look from cover and discussion, it is quite interesting. The printing of the cover is clear enough to read and seen. And the discussion not so monotone.
