 Engineering? Aug 28, 2009
By beltran berrocal

If you are looking for a guide book on how to design and create pop-ups, on the basic folding and cutting techniques, then this IS NOT the book for you.
This book is a pretty good collection of interesting pop-up / paper cut designs and uses in graphic design and enterprise comunications. Excellent for inspiration and reference.
It balances out the "engineering" expectation by including 4-5 templates at the end of the book that are among the difficult ones to figure out by oneself (as the letter W in the book ABC3d by Marion Bataille).

 great look into paper engineering by graphic designers Sep 05, 2011
By liberal sprinkles
[ this review is adapted from a longer one at my blog liberal sprinkles]
There are plenty of examples here of creations crafted from paper - some of them mundane, others fascinating. What makes it different from other books on papercrafts is the descriptions of the process behind the designs. The book's aim is to show the possibilities of paper. It does so by showing how some graphic designers translate their thoughts and intentions through paper engineering, transforming paper from a 2D sheet into a 3D, interactive item that demands the reader get involved in and experience the work.
Paper Engineering got me looking at paper as a much more complex material, and at paper products as more than just beautiful creations, however innovatively or commonly they are manipulated into their final forms. The book examines various graphic design formats like brochures, books and invites, and looks at works engineered by folding, cutting, gluing to create pop-ups and different binding methods.
I liked the variety of examples (format, form and shape) and the descriptions accompanying each item - why the designers approached the project they way they did and how they did it. The book also profiles four paper engineers - British artist Rob Ryan, book designer Ron van der Meer (known for pop-up books), visual artist Kate Farley and book artist Ed Hutchins. And a bonus: a few templates are included at the back of the book so we can attempt to recreate some of the pieces.
There are other books with more - and more varied - examples of paper crafting. But if you're interested in the design aspect, Paper Engineering is an excellent read.

Great book for designers and hobbyists alike! Jan 13, 2011

This book gives you so much inspiration on how to use paper in ways you never dreamed of. It explores new formats, folds, and use of dicuts that will make any designer drool.
