FINAL ARTIST BOOK

-

 Using the pop-up cube technique, my final artist book has four boxes that each represent a different aspect of my book : fun, materials, colour psychology, and games. I have decided to relate my book to our interior practices project because it is primarily about joy, activity and fun. Little cubes come out from within the box to the outside when it is opened, giving the reader an entertaining and engaging experience.

The book's cover highlights engagement and interaction, enticing readers to dive into its pages. I have included components about human and non-human connections into the pop-up cubes to give the book more depth and significance. It also allows readers to engage more deeply with the ideas and concepts presented in the book in addition to taking happiness of both its visual and tactile elements. Overall, my artist book offers its audience a happy and captivating experience by combining creativity, interactivity, and thematic relevance.

A step-by-step tutorial for making a pop-up cubes box card the following supplies are required:

  1. a piece of paper (for the foundation)  
  2. Elastic bands made of rubber
  3. Adhesive
  4. Cutter
  5.  Paper that is textured and coloured (for decoration)

This is a brief, step-by-step tutorial:

Set up the Base: Trim out paper to the appropriate size for the card base. (21cm x 18.5cm)
Create the Cubes: Using glue, cut and fold squares of coloured paper into cubes.
Attach the Cubes: Place the cubes in a grid pattern on the base paper and adhere them with glue. In order to create the Pop-Up mechanism, cut the rubber elastic bands into tiny pieces.
A cube's the inside needs to have one end of an elastic band attached, and the base paper should receive the other end. For every cube, repeat these steps.
Decorate: Apply patterns or images to the cubes and base using coloured and textured paper.
Finishing Touches: To activate the pop-up feature, carefully fold the card after letting the glue dry.

Fig.1.studio room ( Eldon building ) It was an extremely exciting first day of my master's program at the University of Portsmouth. I'm here to study interior architecture and design, and I'm excited to get to know new people. Despite my basic knowledge of interior design, I was eager to learn more, particularly about architecture. A number of students studying various aspects of architecture and space, such as urban planning, interior design, and landscape architecture, makes it an interesting place to. Their backgrounds are different and they come from different country. We were introduced to the professors who will be teaching us throughout the course. Our interior design instructor, Professor Rachael Brown, gave us an overview of the projects we will be working on. Lesley Batchelor and Professor Dr.Suzanne Fallouh were also introduced to us, and they showed us some of their previous work. Afterwards, Professor Rachael Brown gave us an overview of our course timetable ...

  I'm responsible for of making sketches and 2D designs for our group project, with a particular focus on plans and elevations. I chose to use the idea of the hopscotch game as inspiration for my sketches. In the first design, I created imaginative play areas for kids by utilizing the shape of a hopscotch. I created an engaging environment by constructing S-shaped walls and adding circular hollow spaces of varying sizes. I also added a climbing net so kids could enjoy themselves and try their physical prowess. For the option 2, I made the classic hopscotch game into a vehicle for empowering people through education. I wrote inspirational affirmations on the floor in place of numbers. In this manner, kids can read uplifting messages that inspire and help them focus while they play and   Improving their interactions. I added square-shaped benches with varying heights and distinct coolers for each in the third design. These benches have two uses during the day: they can be use...
