This abstract emphasizes the importance of awareness of the power of visualization, which is increasingly critical in an era of dominant technology. Some of the key aspects emphasized include the ability of visualization innovations to convey complex concepts more easily to students, increase students' interest in computer science and prepare students for the demands of an increasingly technology-dependent industry. By using audio-visual media and visual technologies such as digital comics, simulations, multimedia and augmented reality, visualization innovations form an engaging learning environment. In addition, this topic also includes problems that need attention such as the integration of visualization innovations into the curriculum, differences in achievement and understanding of learning concepts, as well as student participation in developing visualization innovations. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of visualization innovations in improving learning outcomes and understanding concepts in computer science education. In conclusion, this abstract brings focus to the awareness of visualization innovation as an important element in the positive transformation of basic computer science education, with the hope of forming an efficient, creative and adaptive generation in this digital era.</p> Ranee Sekin Copyright (c) 2024 Ranee Sekin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-04-01 2024-04-01 12 1 8 17 10.37134/kupasseni.vol12.1.2.2024 Depression Mental Health Awareness in Infographic Poster Design Art on Social Media https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/JSPS/article/view/9391 <p style="text-align: justify;">Negative stigma in mental health awareness still exists in society.

These issues are interconnected, preventing them from expressing feelings through desires, which can disrupt their relationships with others.

Some aspects to consider include visual stimulation. Colouring in education for students with special needs such as autism needs to be tailored to individual needs, ensuring a supportive environment, and using appropriate learning methods to maximize their development.</p> Ahmad Fazleyazid Copyright (c) 2024 Ahmad Fazleyazid https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-04-01 2024-04-01 12 1 26 36 10.37134/kupasseni.vol12.1.4.2024 Visual Application of Montaj Malaysian Arts Craft Figure through Visual Arts Level 1 https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/JSPS/article/view/9399 <p style="text-align: justify;">The montage visual application is one of the media in the form of video that can be used as a teaching aid in teaching and learning.
