Learning media is a medium used in teaching and learning activities. As is known, the world is currently experiencing a Covid-19 pandemic so teaching and learning activities are carried out online. One of the media that can be used as distance learning is a web blog. Web blogs are chosen because they do not require a lot of money to create and can be combined with other media such as YouTube. This study aims to produce a web blog as a distance learning media for graphic design study programs. Because the lecture material uses more application practice, the web blog and YouTube media are very appropriate to use. This is in accordance with the results of the questionnaire distributed to graphic design students in semester 3 and 5 of STEKOM University regarding the use of a web blog. From 38 respondents and after being calculated based on existing references, the final score was 88.42% so that this web blog was in the "very good" category and could be used as a reference.

The transformation of objects in computer graphics is very closely related to the factor of scale and rotation. Both are often a challenge in the introduction of objects through numerical features in digital images. Feature processing techniques that can overcome these problems such as Distance - Angle signature that is invariant to the scale and rotation factor. From the results of experiments conducted on 5 types of geometric shape images which amounted to 15 data with scale and rotation factors obtained the results that the Angle Signature can be applied well on all data. Inequality in the signature plot images obtained is due to the lighting conditions and background objects that are not uniform, which occurs in the image of a circle for all three types.
