Product Catalog Creation as Visual Identity for Woro Srikandi Batik Pacitan
Abstract
Abstract: Batik Woro Srikandi, a traditional batik producer in Arjowinangun, Pacitan, faces significant challenges in digital marketing. This issue stems from a lack of professional promotional media and an underdeveloped visual identity, hindering the product's ability to compete in an increasingly competitive market. To address these constraints, the community service team designed an initiative comprising several methodological stages: (1) conducting a needs analysis of the partner through observation and interviews; (2) implementing training sessions on product photography and design; and (3) facilitating participatory mentorship for the local artisans in catalog production and visual identity development. The primary outcome of this project was the successful creation of a professional product catalog that features a consistent brand visual identity. This catalog is designed to strengthen brand identity, expand market reach, and provide a competitive advantage for Batik Woro Srikandi. It is anticipated that this catalog will not only enhance customer engagement and sales but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of Pacitan's traditional batik art.
