Archive Fever Show
Archive
The pictures I collected are arranged into photographs of books as a border. And thus, this is a book of books of books. Book to me, IS an archive. It is a container. Therefore I do not want to change it’s fact. I do not want to change anything about it but using a book to archive books, I thought will be the best option.
Poster
Ohhh Posters! I made the type faces myself as I couldn’t find one that fits perfectly. And initially I had “remade” at the bottom that tis interactive but danne says no, it should move and change into another word. It took me really really long to think of a word to suit it. It was tough! It has to have 5 syllabus and the first can only have 2 strokes (i.e. F, A) the second has to be B, E or S and so forth. It;s only till the last day that I thought of =Image. (:
Series
Series is supposed to contain all the chapters in the Megg’s book of History but it shall be an unfinished series. I am really happy with the content page and I’ve categorised the chapters in colours. The idea is to give a gist of each chapter, well nobody really read word for word unless there’s an exam right?

Childrens Books
I came across a mom’s blog site that features children books which are cute and really intereactive. Children books tend to be less wordy and more interative. Take a look, they are amazing

Anaglyph (Red-Cyan 3D Pictures)
Anaglyphs are pictures where the red and blue channels have been split and then reassembled so that the image appears three-dimensional when viewed through 3D glasses with red and blue lenses.
You’ll find plenty of sites on the Web where you can view 3D anaglyphs, but not nearly as many that tell you how to create them. I’ve compiled the following links which include information on specialized software for creating anaglyphs and instructions for making anaglyphs in popular graphics programs. I couldn’t resist throwing in a few sites with exceptional examples of 3D anaglyphs.
To create them:

Your House book
This is in my opinion, the coolest book I have ever seen.
Olafur Eliasson’s Your House book.
The subject of the book is Eliasson’s home in Hellerup, Denmark. Each page of the book has been laser-cut to reproduce a vertical cross-section of actual physical space of the house on a scale of 85:1 (so that each leaf corresponds to 2.2 centimetres of the actual house). The interior of the volume forms a sort of reverse to the traditional three-dimensional architectural model—a non-dimensional model formed of negative space—as well as an inverse to the traditional pop-up book.” Graphic Arts Princeton

Alphabet Personalities
How do I create something that relates to typography that hasn’t exist? A pop-up typo book exists. Probably an interactive book that describes every letter? What is the character of each letter? X is anonymous, a symbol, it’s general. O is organic, it’s open-opinionated. How do we decide and define their personalities? How do we express their characters with the interactive tools in book design

Book designer: Kohei Sugiura
Japanese graphic designer. He graduated in architecture from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1955 and then worked as a freelance graphic designer. He specialized in posters, calendars, record covers, catalogues and stamps and later books, magazines, exhibitions and film and television graphics. His series of covers for the magazine Space Design (1966-70) made a resounding impact. He was regarded as one of Japan’s most innovative designers; his work is influenced by cosmology, Hollywood, Buddhism and the Space Age and fuses images, quotations and typography of different sizes. He used shadow and perspective to achieve depth in two-dimensional layout and was noted for his use of rich black backgrounds. In his design for Zen Uchu-shi, Summa Cosmographica, text pages, as well as covers, are entirely in black, the text itself being white. Sugiura organized and designed many exhibitions that reflect his wide-ranging interests, for example Fluorescent Chrysanthemum, an exhibition of contemporary Japanese art and graphics (London, ICA, 1968), and the Mysterious World of Asian Masks (Tokyo, Seibu Museum, 1981). He also designed a number of photography books and several illustrated books of Buddhist mandalas. He was Guest Professor at the Hochschule f?r Gestaltung, Ulm, Germany (1964-5, 1966-7), and lectured both abroad and in Japan. He received many awards, and his work can be seen in public collections (e.g. New York, MOMA).

Lexus 2008 RX
“The safest accidents are the ones that never happen.” is Lexus 2008 RX. ‘s slogan. And to drive the concept further, Lexus has partnered up with some very creative minds at Team One and Stylewar to produce this totally awesome pop-up book. Even though they did not really build a giant pop-up book, (who does that with technology existing today anyway) it is still quite awesome. I read they used green screen and stuff too.
[P]roduction built a giant, full-sized book frame for green screen, with tabs and wheels that could be manipulated by actual stage hands. And the actual pop-up book with moving parts was a mere six feet high, which was then married to the green screen frame at a52.

Typop-Up
Typop-Up is a Pop-Up Alphabet Book created by Lise Bonneaus. The coffee table-style book uses thin strips of paper to construct an elaborate 3D page for each letter and number. Taking a cue from French designer Marion Battle’s own alphabet book, Bonneau designed each page as a complex piece of architecture.

ABC3D
You probably have seen this famous typography top up book, produced by Marion Bataille. I’m really amazed of how he plays from O and P into Q and R and the mirror page that turns a V into a W, and the hypnotic S.

Comb/Coil Binding
What advantages are there for using comb binding?
Comb binding elements are less expensive, easy to use and can be re-used over and over. They can also be re-opened for adding or removing pages. Comb-bound books allows you to lay flat completely in between pages.

Book Of Lights
A big light book that opens up to reveal a traditional Lampshade or the Parisian Streetlamp! And what fascinates me is that it really lights up. This was one of the highlights in our opinion at the Gift Fair in New York in January. I’m really tempted to buy it.
