Abstract
Amid the increasing challenges of globalization and digitalization, environmental awareness is often overlooked. Waste Library, as a community service center, took the initiative to raise this awareness through effective visualization using poster art, with a program led by lecturers from Telkom Purwokerto Institute of Technology. The aim of the program is to develop the graphic design skills of staff and volunteers and improve the effectiveness of their visual communication in conveying environmental messages. The method involved a series of interactive trainings using Canva as the main tool, with ability evaluations conducted through pre-survey and post-survey as well as statistical analysis of participant feedback. The training results showed a significant improvement in graphic design understanding, where 82% of participants showed increased competence; 76% have become more proficient with Canva, and 79% feel more confident in concept visualization. The conclusion of the program is that the graphic design workshop has successfully increased the technical ability and confidence of Waste Library staff and volunteers in using modern graphic design tools, as well as showing how interactive and visual approaches can be effective in educating and raising environmental awareness.
