ILLUSTRATION BOOK DESIGN OF THE DUMAI FOLKLORE "LEGEND OF THE SEVEN PRINCESSES"

Abstract

The problem being studied is how to make the book able to raise the values ​​of Riau Malay culture which are not widely known by the wider community and to be able to contribute to the preservation of the Folklore which is currently being abandoned by the younger generation. The title was chosen because the book which contains the story of PutriTujuh was only left with 1 copy and was not reissued more than 10 years ago, so this story only developed among Old Community. Therefore, it is necessary for conservation efforts to reintroduce this story. The younger generation is the main target in the effort to reintroduce this story, and one of the things that can attract the interest of the younger generation is through Illustration.
