This week, it's Illustration but! interactive or movable illustration!
So I chose POP-UP! For the human form aspect, I designed 2 characters based on my parents. The story will be also be based on how they met.
My inspiration came from the HJ Story... which is the cutest thing I have come across! :)
“Daily Dosage of Love and Smile…”
HJ Story started
as a blog on Tumblr in May 2010. But before that it began
with a few photo sms messages that the artist would send to his girlfriend,
purely for fun. As he claims “I was never goo with expressing though spoken
words…” he then created the blog, which included all the drawings he had done,
as a surprise gift for his girlfriend's upcoming birthday. The blog was intended to be
personal, but a friend of his posted it on twitter and he started to get
followers. He now shares his doodles on Facebook, deviantART and Twitter.

This Pop-up Book I came across online, also really inspired me. It was made by paper artist Jackie Huang, for a Student,
Chris in New York City. He wanted a special way to propose to his
girlfriend, Julia. Chris worked alongside Jackie to create a pop-up book, which
included all the important elements of Chris’s and Julia’s relationship. Chris
proposed on March 29 2012 and Julia said yes!

As you can see the characters change slightly page by page, I did this by tracing the main characters above and altering clothing and hair where needed.
I created my own pop-ups by working from photos of pop-ups I found online and looking at some tutorials online.
