July 14th, 2010 1 Comment
Schoolchildren in Umulogho; Schoolchildren in Watford Writing yesterday about the importance of the tangible paper form of bookleteer reminded me of the ‘A Little Something About Me‘ project by Bev Carter carried out in 2007 – 2009 as part of Proboscis’ Generator Case Studies Residency Programme.

Pop-up Progress
June 9th, 2010 No Comments
My pop-up pig picture inserted into an eBook As you can see from these pictures I’ve started playing around with fitting my individual pop-up pictures into the more linear procedure of a book. I’ve used the quite unimaginative title of A Walk in the Country to provide a narrative to the pictures. Butterfly and Tree [...]

Paste and cut
June 8th, 2010 No Comments
The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat is another short story by Saki, and another eBook handmade by Carmen. For this book, like these examples, Carmen printed the paper twice, first with the background image and then with the eBook PDF. However, in this case the background image is a collage of scraps of paper Carmen [...]

Prototyping Pop-up eBooks
June 2nd, 2010 2 Comments
My tests for making a pop-up eBook. Inspired by Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhardt (who I wrote about here) I’ve been working on making a pop-up eBook. I chose the loose theme of ‘A walk in the country’ and selected pop-ups from Robert Sabuda’s website to fit this concept. All of the pop-ups are labelled [...]

Alphabet Book No.1: by Clara
May 28th, 2010 No Comments
One of the great things about bookleteer eBooks and StoryCubes is their hybrid nature that means they can be simultaneously mass-produced and hand-made. Alphabet Book No.1 is a fantastic example of this. Each letter was sketched in pencil then painted over by Clara Angus Lane (then aged 3). The painted letters were than scanned and [...]

Cover and Page 1 of the cut-out version of Dusk by Saki Another bookleteer experiment I thought I’d show you is another version of Dusk by Saki. This short story is set in the West End of London around Piccadilly and this time I illustrated the eBook with a cut-out of a map of this [...]

Paper selection
May 18th, 2010 2 Comments
A while back we spent some time in the Proboscis studio playing around with different papers for eBooks. Not many people have seen these experiments so I thought I’d start my investigation into eBooks-as-objects by writing about them. For all of the books here I find that the combination of paper, content and illustration gives [...]
