Exploring Paper Engineering

 "The only stipulation is that your solution uses appropriate paper stock, folded formats, bindings, or paper sculpture in an imaginative way to help communicate your idea.

The paper/board and format should be dictated by the story and so be considered for its ability to carry and convey the chosen message."


PAPER CUTS


- Started with various given paper cuts


- All very successful, given no measuring was involved

- Couldn't see how any of these could be involved in my project


- Later realised 1 piece of A2 in a T-shaped fold would make an A5 booklet with 8 pages, as I needed





- Turkish map fold very interesting to look at


- Did consider using it in final project


- Didn't fit into the colour story I was telling







- Used to make waterfall cards in foundation year


- Very interesting, tactile way of telling an illustrated story, was yet to use it during the illustration course


- Decided colour story project was an appropriate time to use it as the project called for paper crafts and tactile products






FINAL IDEA




- Large booklet

- Inside there are 2 smaller booklets

- Each booklet = 8 pages

- Each double page spread = short stories and waterfall cards

- Each waterfall card = corresponding illustrations to the stories

- Both booklets will parallel each other





Deciding the page format for the booklets


Deciding for use of black and white card for the black or white sides


Mock-up booklet to test format and to draft short stories
