Book Mockups
I wanted to experiment with the function of my book. My intention is to create a book that manipulates you physically or maintains some form of interaction, other than just aesthetic. In a group critique I was given the idea of making a circle book, based on the idea of appealing shapes, which could inform my content a bit more?
The use of a circle would also display an image really interestingly, and the roundess (if displaying a landscape) would give an almost panoramic effect - make the viewer engaged with an environment?
Upon cutting out the circle shape, I was left with a unique looking book that looked like a pair of glasses. I liked the way it almost made you want to hold up the book and look through it, analyse your surroundings - could be a really interesting idea.
- I feel that these are both interesting ideas, yet when it comes down to making it I don't think that technical factors would allow it to be made easily? it would need to be laser cut in order to achieve perfect circle etc. I don't think these ideas leave much room for actual images either, as the form of the book is almost an image in itself, and I'd like to explore imagery alot more.
