Paper Engineering: 3-D Design Techniques for a 2-D Material
"Paper Engineering" explores graphic design that extends beyond 2D. From a simple fold in a letterhead to the structural intricacies of a pop-up book, the construction of a 3D paper object requires as much input as its surface decoration. This stylish and inspirational book unfolds the conceptual complexities of paper engineering, studying the techniques of eminent international designers. Case studies are illustrated with photographs of finished work, as well as detailed diagrams and commentary. Now available in a fully revised and extended edition, "Paper Engineering" also explores the functions of paper architecture in graphic design, ranging from greeting cards to invitations and from point-of-sale to packaging.
