Batik Batik is a technique for decorating textiles, by which parts of the textile that are not to be coloured are covered in molten wax. The wax prevents the textile from absorbing the dye during the decorating process. The word batik is of Indonesian origin, and is related to a Malay word for dot or point, “titik” and the Javanese word “amba”, meaning ”to write”.

Despite the fact that batik may have originated elsewhere, most observers believe that batik reached its highest artistic expression in Indonesia, particularly in Java. The art of Batik was later spread to the rest of the Indonesian archipelago and to the Malay Peninsula where the popularity of the cloth led to the establishment of many other production centers. Batik has become a very central means of artistic expression for many of the areas of Asia and a deeply integrated facet of Asian culture. 

To express Malaysia Visual Identity, I had designed a poster with the characteristics of Malaysia batik. which are the dots, flowers and colours.
