Research on technological developments in the field of visual communication design in the application of information and education media in the spread of this pandemic. The qualitative research methods states that this research method is used well in examining the details of the research subject. The natural condition of researchers without engineering, where the research process can describe the process from time to time; b). Inductive analysis, which contains exploration orientation, discovery, and inductive logic, so that theories and patterns are in reality; and c) Description of human behaviour in its natural context.
