My Interpretation
For my project, I wanted to do a storybook of sorts. I am playing with the idea of making it interactive (having sliding pieces, having textured areas, having pop-up pieces, and having fold-out pages). I do not want to distract from the story how it made me feel. If the interaction becomes too difficult or distracting, then I will remove it. Anyways, for the prototypes, the sliders were easy to understand, the horizontal one was the most effective. The diagonal and vertical ones didn’t work and the multi-layered one worked, although it was shoddy. For the pop-ups, I explored how different kinds of pop-ups impacted the shape of the book. Most normal pop-ups and kirigami can only be viewed in a 90 degree angle shape, and opening the book all the way would tear it. I came up with a tab idea that allowed for more freedom in plcement as well as shape, all while allowing the book to open wide.
