PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MEDIA DESAIN DIGITAL IBIS PAINT X TERHADAP KREATIVITAS SISWA DALAM MENDESAIN BUSANA PESTA DI SMK NEGERI 2 BONDOWOSO

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly influenced education, including the field of art and fashion design. Digital design media such as Ibis Paint X allow students to experiment with colors, textures, and shapes more flexibly, thereby fostering imagination and strengthening the originality of their works. Mastery of digital media has also become an essential skill in facing the demands of the 21st century, particularly in fashion design, which is increasingly affected by the growth of the creative industry. This study aims to analyze the effect of using Ibis Paint X digital design media on students’ creativity in designing party dresses at SMKN 2 Bondowoso. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach with a questionnaire as the instrument. The subjects consisted of 43 students in the 11th grade Fashion Design and Production class, and the data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed a positive and significant influence of using Ibis Paint X on students’ creativity, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a regression coefficient of 0.540. These findings indicate that students who actively use the application tend to be more creative than those who do not. Thus, Ibis Paint X is effective as a learning medium for fashion design because it facilitates idea exploration, enhances visualization skills, and strengthens the originality of students’ works
