The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the tourism sector. Tourism businesses must adapt to new conditions and rearrange their promotional strategies so that they can survive in the new normal era. Since the pandemic started spreading in early 2020, the Government has recommended a new promotional initiative for the tourism sector through the use of technology that can be accessed remotely via the internet. One of these approaches is the presentation of virtual tourism in various ways to strengthen the brand and promote tourism, for example, through virtual reality. The aim of this research was to increase tourist visits to Kajoetangan Heritage Village through applying technology to create a virtual tourism portal application, thereby raising the attractiveness of thematic village tourist destinations in Malang City. Using the virtual reality design as a form of marketing communication could be an alternative solution to tourism promotion during the pandemic. A Research and Development approach was used in this study in the following order: (1) conducting product analysis to be developed; (2) developing initial products; (3) expert validation and revision; (4) small-scale field trials and product revisions; (5) field trials and final product. The results from the field test showed that users can gain awareness about tourism activities through this virtual reality product, which can therefore be effective in supporting tourism promotion during the pandemic period. Keywords: virtual reality, COVID-19
This study aimed to determine how companies successfully created visual brands during the COVID-19 pandemic that are easy to remember, contextually-relevant, and educated the public about the current pandemic. The phenomenology research method was used, which is a method to deeply observe actual and factual phenomena occurring at a specific time. This method runs with several steps to find out the essence of the phenomenon that occurs. The results of this study explain consumer behaviour, visual strategies that can be taken by companies in dealing with pandemic situations, and how companies and brands communicate in the new-normal era. It will be a valuable input, especially for visual communication design science, because the collected data can be used to determine strategies and visual communication techniques during a pandemic. Data related to the stage of consumer shifting during a pandemic can also be used to determine the direction of branding and brand communication with the community.

COVID-19 has brought about a number of changes in people’s lifestyles and business pivots, specifically in the Visual Communication Design (VCD) subsector of the creative industry. This study aimed to determine those changes. The first step is to identify the new business pivot; next, look for future business opportunities so that the businesses can sustain and grow. The study uses a phenomenological method that specializes in visible phenomena and realities to examine their explanations. The method explores data to find the meaning of the primary and essential things of the phenomenon, reality or events experienced by the object of the research. The results of this study indicated four new lifestyles in the new normal era: (1) Staying at home; (2) Staying at the bottom of the pyramid; (3) Going virtual; and (4) Being an emphatic society. As such, the new lifestyle influences the changes in the VCD-business pivot. Designers can change the business pivot to survive during the pandemic, including designing masks, personal protective equipment/hazmat suit, making posters and comic strips including quotes motivating people to face the pandemic, etc. Keywords: business pivot, visual communication, COVID-19 pandemic
