How a Pop-Up Book Works

I enjoyed this portrayal of toss off - up book artist Matthew Reinhart because , well , pop - up books are awesome and will never barricade being amazing no matter how old I am , or how far technology advance . But also because he explain the technological aspects that go into seduce a bolt down - up book , like the Little Phoebe - folds he uses to make something lunge out , the layers he builds to show structure , and the dissimilar hinges he puts in to make objects move around .

The v - folding is the most authoritative part in a pop - up book because it ’s the mechanism that makes something really bulge out up . It makes the thing move in an arc , so the wider you open up the book , the more the page unfold . you may construct quint - folds on top of v - folds to make the movements more complex , which will make the pop - up impression even more marked . It can get pretty wild .
