All About Honeycomb Cowfish

A pop-up science book for kids.

Description

The concept of this book is based on a previous assignment, the motif and pattern design project. The motif I designed in that project is based on the Honeycomb Cowfish skin specimen in the Nature Lab. To expand on this project I made a pop-up science book for kids about this type of fish. The skin pattern of hexagon, parallelogram, and diagonal line is focused throughout the book as a design language, while the words included in the book are reappropriated into simple language that children can understand. Different types of pop-up forms are designed on each page with the aim of promoting learning experiences as well as striking visual effects. The inner pages of the book are printed on bristol paper, as are the pop-up elements, which are cut and constructed by hand. The cover is made from chipboard. All the cover and inner pages are designed in Procreate beforehand, making the book digitally available as well.
