Review

This paper proposes to examine the development of illustration visualization in short stories published in Bobo Magazine between 1975 and 1985. The choice of Bobo Magazine is highly pertinent, given its enduring popularity as a staple of Indonesian children's literature since 1973. Focusing on this specific decade, which the abstract rightly links to a period of rapid growth in Indonesian book publishing during the New Order era, offers a valuable historical lens through which to understand the interplay between cultural production and national development. This study promises to contribute significantly to the understanding of media history, visual culture, and children's content development in Indonesia. The study's aim to determine the factors contributing to the advancement of illustrations in Bobo Magazine during this specific period is clearly articulated. A significant strength lies in the direct use of primary source material, specifically "documentation of Bobo Magazine's short story illustrations from 1975 to 1985." This hands-on engagement with the visual data is crucial for an analysis of this nature. The proposed methodology of observation and review, complemented by literature studies, appears sound for identifying both "social factors and technological advancements" that underpinned the progress of illustration in Indonesia. This multi-faceted approach, considering both internal artistic evolution and external societal and technological influences, suggests a comprehensive analytical framework. While the abstract lays a solid foundation, further details on the analytical framework would strengthen the proposed methodology. For instance, clarifying *how* the "observation and review" of illustrations will be systematically conducted—perhaps through specific visual analysis techniques, stylistic categories, or a semiotic approach—would enhance the rigor. Similarly, defining what constitutes "advancements" in illustration visualization and how these will be empirically identified is essential. The abstract mentions identifying "factors," but the full paper should elaborate on the precise mechanisms by which "social factors and technological advancements" are linked to observable changes in the illustrations. Additionally, while the timeframe is well-justified, discussing potential limitations of focusing solely on Bobo Magazine, or briefly acknowledging broader trends in children's media or illustration outside Indonesia, could provide valuable contextual depth. This study has the potential to offer nuanced insights, and further methodological transparency would elevate its scholarly contribution.
