Creating Children's Pop-up Books

Creación de libros pop-up infantiles

“Thank you very much for accompanying me in this course. I hope you have enjoyed the journey and that you can apply everything you have learned to create incredible pop-up books. During the course I have left you all the materials so that you can replicate my project, but I encourage you to make your own story. Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. The idea The first thing you should do is let yourself go and think about themes and characters that you would like to do a book with. Then, create the first character sheets. I recommend you put into practice the simple mechanisms that we saw, which can give you a lot of play when it comes to animating your own characters.

Storyboard Next, make a storyboard of the layout of your pages, with the aesthetics and feelings you want to cause. Models Once you are clear about what you want to tell, start assembling your first models. You must not only make the pages loose, but you must put together and put temporary covers to see that everything works as a book. Remember that I taught you how to digitize those models that we made by hand so that you can easily modify mine or create your own. Mount It is time to start mounting your project. Each page tells a story and will serve as a setting for your own. Inside pages Here you can see up close the result of how the inner pages have turned out after assembly. Union of the pages Once you have all the engineerings in the book finished, it's time to join the sheets. Do it using bellows to even out the inequality between the spine and the front cut of the book. Binding Finish the project with the most important part: the binding. As I have taught you in the course, make a montage of Dutch-style tapas; with cloth spine and printed covers. Once you have the covers dry, join the interior of the book with the covers thanks to the bellows that you will glue on the inside of the covers to leave the boxes free so that the book works perfectly. The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I look forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you soon!”

“Final project We have reached the end. Thank you very much for accompanying me on this path. I hope you learned, but above all you enjoyed a lot. Before finishing, we will review the steps we have done and I will give you some advice. We begin by exploring children's and commercial books and already at that moment we look at the paper, the typography. It is important that you look at the formats Then you can make your own. We continue with the most creative process and we started creating characters, looking for locations. I recommend that you have a very open vision, looking around you and...”
