2D II-(Project 2-Part 1) “ ZINE: NEIGHBOURHOOD EXPLORER” (3) – INFOGRAPHIC

東遊記 Journey to the East

It is a set of four piece of Infographic form by the two traditional red and green pick out from the Calendar and each containing different character from Journey to the West with Characters fitted on to them. It is in both English and Chinese for difference races. I separated the four into individual because different people would want different information when then visit east. Depending on what they are heading there for. 

First : 唐生 Tang Sheng

Tang Sheng = People travel happily to Pasir Ris for Chalet

Among the characters traveling to the west , Tang Sheng is the most willing one. Similar to people going for chalet because they are heading there for fun just like people traveling there for chalet/for fun they are willing to travel all the way to Pasir Ris. Therefore in the infographic Tang Sheng is seen bringing a backpack and a lotus to chalet.

In the middle, ” Orh, Downtown East Uh ” is the kind of reply locals always give when seomone told them they are heading for chalet. Everyone would definitely assume you’re heading to Downtown East Chalet.

At the bottom, just like Chinese calendar it contains all the informations. In this infographic it have informations like what does the chalet provides and what you need to know and bring before hands. P.s One bar Wifi = No Wifi!!!

Second : 孙悟空 Sun Wu Kong

Wu Kong = Army boys reluctant to travel to the East

Wu Kong was the most reluctant and unwilling person to go on the Journey to the West. Similar to the army boys, traveling to Pasir Ris means booking in to tekong and they are reluctant traveling all the way to Pasir Ris. Therefore in the infographic, Wu Kong is seen wearing his wushu shirt but in print of the camou patterns.

In the middle, ” Pasir Ris Chalet ” is locals army boys way of referring to booking in to tekong:)

At the bottom, it contains all the informations regarding the things to prepare and bring for tekong camp. These are informations and tips provided by other army boys that have been to tekong.

Third : 猪悟能 Zhu Wu Neng

Wu Neng = People travel to the east for food

Wu Neng (aka: 猪八戒 Zhu Ba Jie) is well-known for being constantly greedy for food. It definitely represent people traveling to the east for food. Therefore, in the infographic, Wu Neng is seen bringing along all the “da bao” food and “Yuan Bao” with him.

In the middle, ” We Go Pasir Ris Eat Loh ” is locals singlish way of suggesting or telling the place we’re gonna eat.

At the bottom, it contains all the informations and address of the famous and popular food found in the East. The red box are icons of different ingredient needed to create that dish

Fourth : 沙悟净 Sha Wu Jing

Wu Jing = Prisoners on the way to Changi Prison

I fell like Wu Jing is the most useless guy throughout the whole journey to the West. Throughout the Journey he old get caught and needed people to save him, pretty meaningless. Just like Wu Jing prisoners going to the Changi Prison have a very meaningless Journey there. Therefore in the infographic Wu Jing is shown guarded by many police dogs on his journey.

In the middle, ” Changi Chalet ” is locals term for Changi Prison:)

At the bottom, it contains all the information and history of the Changi Prison. Why I’ve decided to put these informations was because firstly, I don’t think there is a need to prepare anything when you’re own your way to the prison. Secondly, I believe like me, other than knowing it as a prison in general many locals actually do not know anything about how the  prison runs, how many times do caning session occurs, when? And ofcourse the history behind this prison. 

谢谢:) SEH SEH:)
