Tika merchandise were made by me including 3D mini figure, keychains, and posters included for VR experience on Batik making.

Inspiration or Problem Context

Tika Merchandise was built in addition to my Echoes in Batik project, as an exploration and gift for user participants who participated in user testing for the virtual reality (VR) project.

I was inspired and hoped that in the future, 3D animation will need to be supported by presence in the real or physical form, one of them is merchandise. This also shown in many movies such as Disney or other well-known cartoons that they provided many additional merchandise to support their marketing or dissemination.

Sketch and 3D Building

1. Sketch

   I built sketches of the main character Tika Plain and branding illustrations. As for character Tika illustration, it was inspired from an idea that the character acted as a plain and empty before she got her Batik cloth and becoming Tika Batikan who wears Batik and shining.

2. Branding

   Experience branding was developed for the introduction in the VR project and the alternative that represents the creation of Batik cloth.

Merchandise printed

As a result, I printed various merchandise attached.

1. 3D mini figure

2. Keychains

3. Posters
