Pop-Up Design & Paper Mechanics: 18 Shapes to Make

Description

This totally new and accessible approach to pop-up theory and practice distils the numerous mechanisms into a logical set of 18 underlying shapes. Simple ways to build these shapes are explained with methodical step-by-step diagrams and text. Make the mechanisms then glue their bases back-to-back to form a handy three-dimensional pop-up reference book. This book includes techniques for building upon these shapes, so that you can make your own spectacular pop-ups Review: Four Stars - Somewhat smaller than expected Review: It looks good but may well prove very disappointing - Do not buy this book! This is an abridged edition of a book originally written by me. This edition was produced without consulting me in any way. It looks good but may well prove very disappointing. Only one of the nine shapes pictured on the cover is fully explained inside – four of them require specific and careful measuring; this book will not enable you to make them. The information inside is patchy, sometimes misleading and often omits crucial details necessary to understand what is a subtle and sometimes difficult art form. If you want to enjoy and understand the delightful and surprising field of pop-up design you will do much better if you get hold of the original book - Pop-up Design and Paper Mechanics – How to Make Folding Paper Sculptture.
