Abstract

The prehistoric site heritage of Gunung Padang Cianjur is a part of the nation’s cultural assets that needs to be preserved. Efforts to capture these relics can be done through a photo book. The photo book serves to convey information through narration visually with the visual strength of the photographic genre used. This study aimed to apply the photographic genre of still life technique on prehistorical site of Gunung Padang and its use in designing a photo book. This study used a combination method with semiotic approach and photo book theory. The results from the quantitative survey data revealed that there was still a lack of understanding of the use of the still life genre to design prehistoric site photo books among design students. Whereas qualitatively, the analysis used photo book theory to see visual strength through composition, shape, and lighting. The design elements in photographic genre play an important role in conveying information through visual flow and angle of shooting from the object’s details. This study is expected to be an academic reference and can also encourage young people to care about the preservation of the prehistoric site of Gunung Padang as the nation’s historical heritage.
