Revisiting the old textbooks of the 1970s-1980s period; combining these aesthetics with content relevant to Jalan Kayu and its surroundings, as well as a tribute to its heritage.
So I decided to base my new zine concept on the fact that not so long ago, there used to be a school in Jalan Kayu and of course, it was named Jalan Kayu Primary School.
Right at the start, I decided that I wanted to use a more retro style, which led me to look for imagery that I could emulate and adapt for my own zine.
Remember how I wanted to complete my zine using prata as the key theme from Jalan Kayu?
After spending days and weeks thinking and thinking and thinking and thinkinggggggg, I finally came to a decision that it felt a bit too frivolous and I wanted to do something a little more meaningful with regards to Jalan Kayu as a place.
With this notion, I went on to do more research on the place and found that there used to be a school in Jalan Kayu during its kampung days – Jalan Kayu Primary School.
Unfortunately, the school closed down in the 80s, so there I was, limited to online sources as the only place for me to glean something about it.
