'The Missing Record' - Publication Design
The Missing Record is a publication that touches on the importance of mental and emotional health care of women during pregnancy and after the delivery.
The Missing Record publication is divided into two parts. However, they are not two separated volumes, they are actually continuous. The first book talks more on the physical care that the mothers usually received such as the physical health checkups as well as the traditional care or so called ‘pantang’. The publication then continues with the information regarding mental health care of the mothers. The reason for this separation is because in order to emphasize the ‘missing’ record, the ‘present’ or the ‘existing’ record must be talked first. Only then, the audience may see the connection of both parts.
The contents for the publication were collected through research as well as through interviewing professional psychologist and mothers who already experienced pregnancy and the delivery.
The main key point to take from The Missing Record publication is to make people aware that both physical and the mental care of the mothers during the pregnancy and after the delivery are equally important and neither should be overlooked. It is also to alert couples to equip themselves with enough knowledge before embark into the journey of parenthood.
