Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books

Overview

“We are going to start making our folding geometries. It is essential to do a good elaboration of basic elements to later learn to combine them and create multiple scenarios. I want us to experiment together, and see how far we can go from basic techniques. In this lesson we will learn V and combination folds.”

In this video lesson Silvia Hijano Coullaut (Libracos) addresses the topic: Mobile elements (Part 1), which is part of the Domestika online course: Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books. Learn different mechanisms to create your own three-dimensional book with multiple settings.

“Mobile elements (Part 1) In this lesson, we'll learn basic mechanisms so that we can combine them later and create lots of things. We'll start with V-mechanisms, they're very important: they're easy, they close really well, and they look spectacular. We'll see some examples later. On all of the templates for the book, some have graphics and others don't, the ones for the project do, you'll find colored lines. Some people do dotted lines and whole lines, I do whole ones so that, if your printer is so-so, you can always see them. The blue lines are creases, which is where we have to score, an...”
