Dummy Book


I needed to work out exactly where everything was going to go on my final piece so I began producing this dummy book to check that all my ideas and techniques would look good in practice. 


Here is page one, the opening view of the garage where the garage door lifts up and you can see the car inside.


this feature seems to work best if the car and internals of the building are on a separate piece of paper altogether and stuck behind the flap. But once this best way to do things was found there was no problems at all with this page.


Next was page two where you can see the car inside the garage, this was where the car was stuck down while the page was still partly folded so that the car came away from the page and a hole could be cut in the window to see the inside of the car drawn on the page behind.


This again worked very well except I would need to be careful about making the car to be stuck on slightly smaller in length than the car on the page so that the front and the back still lined up. You can also see the wallet on the seat of the car very well.


finally came page three where you see a view of the wallet opened up and are able to pull a photograph out of the wallet which is of the garage in the original picture on the first page.


This worked very nicely as all that was needed was a slot and a separate piece of card for the photo because the back cover acted as a back for the wallet. In the real thing I may include something to anchor the photo to the wallet so that you can't pull it all the way out.
