Well after 4 attempts at trying to rotate the two bottom images i have given up! so you may have to tilt your head for those two but anyway, i thought i would upload some photos i took in one of the book making sessions of books that caught my eye and that i really like.
Shawn Wilder Sheehy - Welcome to the Neighborwood: A Pop-Up Book.
I love the colour's used in this book and the cut outs of the pop up. The actual pages are quite simple but the pop up is very beautiful and intricately done so there doesn't need to be a lot going on with the actual page itself.
Marc Goman - Exhale
I was drawn to this book because i really like the style he uses and it reminds me of the materials and colour's i like to use in my own work. Its got a really 'recycled' feel and i love that about it.
Frances Watson - How We Lost The Mermaid's Song
(Tilt your head to see the image!)
This books a great example of how black on white illustration and type can be really effective. I wanted to show this book because in my own book i plan to use just black pen, along with the photographs and its quite inspiring.
Patricia T. Hetzler - Woman of Substance
(Again, please tilt your head to see the image!)
I like the idea of making a book thats interactive with the viewer, and the pull outs in pockets in this book gives it more texture and goes outside of the edges of the pages and book cover which makes it feel more three dimensional and a slightly scrap book feel, but a very well done scrap book!
