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)

jia — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:52:34 +0000

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

jia — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 11:00:10 +0000

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

Hot Acrobats Perform Cheese Fog Polka
by Tara McLeod

With butcher paper, a swag of wooden type, and an 1832 Albion flat-bed press, Tara McLeod, owner-operator of The Pear Tree Press, printed 20 copies of Hot Acrobats. It was printed in sections on one continuous sheet and could well have been called: £63 NIGHT HAWK BAM! McLeod has some 25 publications to his credit over a period of ten years. He also prints limited edition books for the Holloway Press at the University of Auckland.
