Zine Presentation

义顺 / Yì shùn / Nee Soon / யீஷூன்

 

Yishun has a large population of up to 200000 people, comprising of many subdivisions within the town.

 

Yishun was part of territories inhabited by the indigenous nomadic boat-dwellers known as Orang Seletar – descendants of the orang laut or “sea people” who lived in boats and made a living as fishermen.

In January 2016, Yishun was designated as the first “dementia-friendly” town due to its large elderly population. Hence, in my final zine, I would like to show the transformation of Yishun from a kampong to what it is today.

To-do list:

Zine Research

ONE

This zine layout gives me a clear sense of how different principles of art is utlized within a zine and also it makes use of different art rules like the rule of third and hierarchy in the layout itself too. This zine also gives me a clear sense of what is expected from a zine and acts something like a guide for me.


TWO

The author made strong use of colours to give off an impactful message and grabs the readers attention within seconds. The coordination of colours within the pages tones down the biazarre0ly coloured images and seem harmonised in the viewer’a eyes.


THREE

The author made use of both illustrations and pictures in this zine which is what im going for in my zine. The author also arrange the different elements in such a way that although it might seem minimalistic, it is actually very congested with pictures and infomation.


FOUR

I like how the author made use of the pop art concept in her zine. We can see a uniform colour of pink her but the use of triad colours brightens up the whole zine, making it more funky and fun. The author also uses the true colour of images to highlight certain images.


FIVE

This is my personal favourite. I like how the words are placed in the photos and the utlisation of the world map to show the location. The designs are really simple but the overall touch still look classy and clean.
