OUGD404 Brief 2 - Task 2 Types of Folds

Task 2 Types of Folds

In groups we created as many folds as possible without using

glue or staples or any type of bind but being restricted to just

using paper and cuts. (to create a book)

Triangle/Stair fold - Has a total of 8 pages I like this design because of it being
staggered although because it is staggered paper space for writing/drawing on
is lost, To do this I used A2 paper cut in half to make 2 squares fold onto each
otherI then divided the space between 2 on one half and on the other creating a
diagonal fold not once but twice creating more pages.

Hot Dog fold - This is the most functional use of paper it creates the most
space to utilise to create this you take a sheet of paper fold it in half, In half
again and once more to create 8 pages for this to work you need to create a
cut between the middle section going across 2 folds, you then pull the paper
out and simply fold.

Trouser Fold - Fold the paper 3 times to create a sections, cut from the bottom
up 3 sections leaving one behind, fold the paper back up and close this then
works as a normal landscape book but then can be opened to look like
'trousers' to utilise all the space.

Mountain and Valley Fold, There is only 4 pages in this type of fold but it has
a creative aesthetic to it. You just simply fold in half landscapely then once
portrait and then make 3 small folds and the last folding point.
