Abstract

The purpose of this design is inspiring teenagers to be proud to wear Javanese appearance and interest in Javanese philosophical values. In order for the character can be accepted and imitate by teenagers, the clothes and attributes of the character must be in a modern shape and they can wear in daily lives. To achieve that, the Javanese philosophy of the character must be transformed into contemporary shape. The transformation method uses the Atumics method which can combine elements of traditional culture with elements of contemporary culture at the level of concepts and visuals. Its hope can be a trigger for young people to wear it first and then found out the Javanese philosophy on objects that they wear. To represent Javanese values in character design, this character is made in endomorph type because there is a philosophy that Javanese is descendant of Semar. But it turns out dislike by teenager. Recommendation to explore the endomorph type to be liked.
