Abstract

Visual-based technology as a medium of contact and alternative solutions in pandemic conditions requires a design role, primarily visual communication design during the coronavirus outbreak. Visual communication design becomes an intermediary bridge for information, education, and recreation media to the community.

The technology eliminates distance and is an essential part of the development of visual communication design. Research on technological developments in the field of visual communication design in the application of information and education media in the spread of this pandemic. The qualitative research methods states that this research method is used well in examining the details of the research subject. The natural condition of researchers without engineering, where the research process can describe the process from time to time; b). Inductive analysis, which contains exploration orientation, discovery, and inductive logic, so that theories and patterns are in reality; and c) Description of human behaviour in its natural context.
