DIY Book of the Week Club, week 2: Accordion Book with Removable Spine.

This week I led the group in making a simple book with a removable spine. I first learned of this book from Lisa Rosowsky in Typography and always wanted to make it. Here are the instructions I followed. This type of book allows for more pages to be added, the book to start from both front and back, and binding sans adhesive. To make this book I used scraps left over from my Map It Out book and Janis Joplin series.

Little Red Riding Hood (Accordion Book) by Keri Miki-Lani

“This is a pop-up/accordion style book of Little Red Riding Hood. I have been especially interested in the idea of using Fairy Tales as symbols. Many stories have become so ingrained in our culture that simple references can unravel the entire story itself. A pop up image of Little Red Riding Hood in a forest completes a self-contained, non-linear narrative. This “theatrical” book format allows all the components of the story - the introduction, climax, and conclusion - to coexist in the same plane.”

Fedrigoni: Imaginative Colors by Emma Jackson

“YCN Student Award brief to create a promotional campaign for Fedrigoni Paper’s new “Imaginative Colours” paper selection tool. 

My concept centers around the idea of an escape from everyday life. When we imagine our minds leave where we are; our offices, our streets, our towns, and enter another world.

This mail out book offers a brief escape from an everyday fast-paced environment. What appears at first to be a row of houses becomes an invitation into an imaginative world. ”
