Project Deliverables: Infographic Poster, Illustration Booklet, Board Game
Child sexual abuse are more common amongst us than we know, but are usually unreported and not as known due to family reasons. Despite that, we should encourage victims to speak out, and educate their parents about these situations.
NO!! DON'T TOUCH! is an infographic poster which aims to educate the audience on child sexual abuse, and the statistics of sexual abuse cases. It also shows the symptoms of child sexual abuse and the outcomes from the incidents.
NO!! DON'T TOUCH! is a 12-page illustration booklet that aims to educate children about sexual abuse, with topics related to good and bad touches and private parts being mentioned. There are also measures for children to take when they are in uncomfortable situations or think they are experiencing sexual abuse.
In addition, the booklet consists of information for teachers & parents, educating them on how to respond to these situations. Being catered to children, the booklet is kept graphical with little written text, making it easier to understand and absorb.
In addition to what I've done so far for this project, I came up with as an education resource which I foresee to be played in school with classmates, to learn about child sexual abuse.
As my target audience age is relatively young - before adolescent age, board games will be a suitable way to engage them. By engagement through an activity, they will be able to have fun and absorb information, as well as acting some actions out.
Get Home Safe! allows up to 6 players, with 6 different characters, consists of a game manual, 4 sets of cards and a dice.
In the game, there are 3 different routes which can be taken by the player via a throw of dice - The Stranger Path, The Family Path and The Familiar Path. Each path takes the player on a different journey with unique activities catered to the theme.
The game manual consists on information and instructions on how to play the board game.
With relevance to the illustration booklet, the cards asks questions about what was mentioned in the booklet, to trigger the player's memory. Each set contains 12-16 cards, with a series of questions, action cards, and punishment / reward cards. Upon completion of card, the player either advances forward or steps back in the game.
The Family Path - Questions related to close family members
The Familiar Path - Questions related to adults the player is close to (e.g. Teachers, Uncles/Aunties)
The Stranger Path - Questions related to completely unknown strangers
Q&A Cards - Generic questions relating to child sexual abuse illustration booklet, and general knowledge.
