Abstract

For a long time, Indonesia had become the center of spice trade. Foreign countries came to Indonesia to get spices straight from its roots. This motivates the beginning of the spice route. A lot of interactions were done when doing spice trading, making the spice route not only a maritime route but also a cultural route. Today’s Indonesian culture was influenced by those who came before. The massive impact spices done on our way of life, make the Indonesian government propose the spice route as a world cultural heritage to UNESCO. To support this movement, the knowledge of the spice route will be spread to a wider audience starting at the high school and college level. People’s understanding of the spice route doesn’t have to be that deep, just the big picture [1]. Unfortunately, only a few sources are talking about the spice route directly, which makes it harder for people to understand the whole thing. The writer proposes designing an information media in the form of a pop-up book that recaps the big picture of spice trade history, the pop-up book is chosen because of its interactivity which affects how information is remembered and received by the audience. The writer used Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz’s method The Big6 because it is widely known as an approach for information and education-based problem.
