Having decided on an information graphics poster format for the main outcome of the project it seems a shame to waste what we have learnt from looking at pop-up mechanisms. Looking here at pop-up mechanims that are used to construct the shape of rooms. Paper Engineering: 3D Design Techniques for a 2D Material by Natalie Avella provided some useful visuals of the kind of thing that were looking at. We have decided therefore to include some sort of business card type pop-up within the poster, as a kind of take-away element and provides that interesting interactivity.
What paper engineering on a 2d surface lacks the pop-up 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 though as the print finish and even to an extent what is printed on it. Its all something to consider.
