Interactive Pop-up Books: Create a Paper World
A course by Silvia Hijano Coullaut (Libracos) , Editorial Designer
Joined September 2019

Bring to life an editorial project that immerses young readers by learning to create a botanical world that goes beyond paper
Many stories refuse to be held captive by their pages, but when it comes to Silvia Hijano's editorial projects, they literally jump right out at you! As founder of the Libracos studio, her speciality is creating paper worlds using a combination of three-dimensional techniques and traditional binding.
In this course, Silvia breaks down the creative process of her craft step by step, showing you how to compose an interactive pop-up book that springs to life with the help of the reader. If you're left wanting more, be sure to check out her other courses: Pop-Up Book CreationPop-Up Book Creation[/url] and Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books.

Es el segundo curso que hago con esta chica. Aunque las explicaciones me han parecido algo más enrevesadas, creo que es fruto de tratar y realizar mecanismos de pop up más complejos que en el anterior.
