Abstract

This article explains the application of lateral thinking methods in the graphic design process, especially in the creative process of gestalt images by students of Graphic Design Study Program to prevent acts of plagiarism. Time constraints, lack of ideas, and laziness are the three main factors causing plagiarism in the gestalt design process, supported by the ease of internet access where gestalt image references can be obtained from various sources. In an effort to prevent the occurrence of plagiarism due to the imitation of concepts, shapes, compositions, and superficiality in modifying the elements of the image at the process stage of gestalt design, students are provided with visual exploration exercises by applying lateral thinking methods. This method is applied by making alternative images that use stylation, distortion, and deformation of objects. Lateral thinking methods can reduce forms of plagiarism in the making process of gestalt images. Before the application of lateral thinking methods, the number of plagiarism-indicated works amounted to 68%. After applying the lateral thinking method, only 13% of the works indicated plagiarism and the remaining 87% were not indicated as plagiarism. Through lateral thinking methods, students make visual alternatives in the design sketching process. This exercise provides opportunities and space for students to create creative concepts, forms, and new compositions so that plagiarism in gestalt tasks can be prevented.
