Mading

Mading is Indonesian term for a paper contain a lot of information and it supposed to be sticked to the wall. That's why it called 'Majalah Dinding', translated in English : 'Wall Magazine'. This information rendered in 2 dimensional form. But in modern time, many people think in more creative ways. They think information can be provided in 3 dimensional ways too. Now, Mading is not only in 2D but also in 3D.

There are Mading Competition called Deteksi in Surabaya, East Java. Highschool student from many city gather in to compete against each other. The Mading competition is categorized into many section, like 2 dimension, 3 dimension, and moveable Mading. Moveable means the Mading moved with electricity or many other sources to show some information provided. Mading 2 dimension is not a flat mading, but it can contain depth but not exceed 30 cm. While the 3 dimensional is a huge mading. Usually taller than the people.

I took a picture of some Mading.

Mading titled Coup Monte by SMA Petra 1 Surabaya :

 

This 2 dimensional Mading contain a lot information about plant and flower. We can directly knows it by visual within the decoration. It made with material such as styrofoam, wood, straw, paper, string, and . For the lighting, they used an interesting show-lamp to brighten the detail. Yes, it contains a lot of detail from this work.

This is 3D Mading with Chinese theme :

Every 3D Mading always done with artificial light built-in the work.

And this is 3D Mading with music and puppet :

There are a button in this mading, when we press it, the mading will produce the sound of classical music. We can play a string puppet too in here. You must already know right away what information is provided in this work.

I also have some picture of team from my school work every year, but the photo-file was left in Indonesia. Sadly, I can't show you right now. Last year, we work on Disney theme. So, we build a huge cinderella disney castle with sparkling glitter. And a blue tiny dog (icon of the competition) called Det, set in the Disney costume like Mickey Mouse, Disney Princess, and other Disneys. And this year our team work on Circus theme.
