Overview: In this module you will investigate cardboard engineering in the modelling and development of complex pop-up mechanisms. Combining creativity and imagination with practical and artistic skills, you will produce a high quality, fully functional hand-made book, using CAD in the production of a hardback cover to finish.

Pop Up Books

Design Brief

You are to design and manufacture a hard-backed pop-up book based upon a

film of your choice. The pages should represent the key scenes from the film.

You may work individually or in a pair.

Specification 1. The book should contain 3 or 4 pages (6 or 8 pages if working in a pair)

2. Each page should be constructed with multi-layered mechanisms, which

operate successfully

3. Each page should be hand drawn, and shaded using appropriate techniques

with coloured pencils, to a high quality

4. The pages and mechanisms must be contained within a hard-backed cover

5. The cover must display the following information;

Front - Title, Image, Author

Spine - Title, Author

Back - Image, Story summary, Publisher and copyright information, Barcode

Mechanism Research - Parallel Fold

1. Cut and fold a strip of paper

2. Glue the strip into a folded card so the sides are

parallel

Things to try;

Stick pictures onto the front of the strip

Build up layers of a scene using several parallel

strips

Cut the strips into different shapes

Glue your finished parallel –fold

sample here

Mechanism Research - V-Fold

1. Cut and fold a strip as shown

2. Glue into your folded card in

a ‘V’ shape

Things to try;

The strip can be any shape

Stick pictures onto the v-fold

Use several v-folds to build

up layers of a scene

Connect a parallel fold to the

v-fold

Glue your finished v–fold

Assessment Level 5 Level 6 Level 7

I can produce a range of ideas for my pages which are

detailed and shaded. I can add labels to explain which

pop-up mechanisms are used.

mechanisms are used and why.

I can produce a range of ideas for my pages which are detailed and shaded. I can add labels to explain my choice of

pop-up mechanisms, and add extra sketches to show how they work.

Feedback - Cover Over the next three pages, glue in the photos of your finished book (each page and the cover)

Get feedback from 3 different people, they should write their comments around the pictures

Feedback - Pages 1 & 2

Feedback - Pages 3 & 4

Assessment Level 5 Level 6 Level 7

I can develop the basic mechanisms in order to create the movement I need on each page. I can produce a completed, neat

pop-up book.

I can develop the basic mechanisms in order to create the movement I need on each page. I can produce a well presented and

detailed pop-up book.

I can develop and combine the basic mechanisms in order to create the

movement I need on each page. I can produce a completed, well presented and

detailed pop-up book.

Evaluation

Improvements

Looking at the feedback comments on the last few pages, and your judgement comments above, list the

improvements you would make to your book to make it more successful...

Specification Point Judgement comments

1. The book should contain 3 or 4 pages (6 or

8 pages if working in a pair)
