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.

HOPE PUNK

I attended another interior practices lecture. During the first part of the talk, Professor Brown defined the term "hope punk" using a PowerPoint and then she invited the students to discuss the term's meaning and offer an explanation in their own words. She also handed us paper and coloured pencils so we could draw and write about hope punk. Professor Brown and the other professors to whom we were assigned split us up into four groups for this exercise. After giving us some time to think things through, afterwards professor asked us to share our opinions about the state of the world. It was a really good activity to do. Following the interval, we studied colour schemes and contrast. Since colour is the foundation of interior design, having this knowledge is invaluable when creating a project. For the interior practice subject, we must work in a group as well as individually on things such as models, sketches and blogs, as well as creating individual Artist books. As a

POTENTIAL SITE VISIT

The first site visit we conducted as part of our studio practice group was to various locations within Portsmouth and Southsea. We started covering particular areas on February 1st, 2024, starting with Port Sea and The Hard. We stopped at Trailgolds, The Hard, John Pounds Community Centre, and Groundlings Theatre. We then went to The Hard and Gunwharf Quays, passing through Aspex Gallery and arriving at Clarence Pier. We divided into groups during our tour and thoroughly examined each place, making notes about things like things left behind, transitional areas, and possible locations for more projects. To gain a better understanding of the textures, building functions, and activities occurring in the surrounding area, we sketched the area and gathered materials. This was an educational as well as thrilling experience. It gave us important information about building functionality, textures, materials, and the general ambience of Southsea and Portsmouth. We were able to work together

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
