Up Pops

release date: May 19, 2023
Up Pops
This authoritative book illustrates in dynamic form mechanisms used in making popup books that utilise elastic bands. It offers many imaginative possibilities for the hobbyist, or the student of design and technology. Each of ten basic mechanisms is illustrated by a working model which you can cut out and make. When finished, each working model glues back into the book on a special tab and folds away to make a kind of three dimensional dictionary or encyclopaedia. For each working model there is also a page called technical considerations which points out important features of the mechanism and suggests how it might be used to create original designs of your own.

The Red & Blue Illusion Book
An explanation of how to create optical illusions based on the idea of printing two overlapping images in red and blue and then viewing them through coloured spectacles. This book contains the material and instruction to enable the reader to create such a pair of glasses. It shows how different information has to be presented to each eye in a carefully controlled way and how to construct the correct perspective views. The ideas presented in the book include two-dimensional as well as three-dimensional illusions. There are also suggestions on how red and blue images can be used to produce original and amusing cards and informative graphic illustrations.
