Experimenting with different sizes and techniques

Because I have two different ideas for this project going forward. I wanted to makes tests for both. These tests are for the folded format design with pop outs of the audience. 

1. a) Here's the first size I wanted to experiment with. Because it's a folded format, I initially wanted to design it in a square format too. This is 9 x 9cm. I wanted to test a small design because I want it to be compact and when it's fully open, you can easily see the full design. 

1. b) This is a 13 x 13cm format. I wanted a slightly bigger size to tell the difference between the two. 

2. b) As you can see in this picture I added slits in the middle to be folded inwards and for an easy position for the pop out to be placed. 

3. b) I added a quick template of the people to glue on top of "b". However, It was too high up and I decided to make the decision to cut the folded format in half. The dimensions for "b" are now 13 x 7cm per section. When I did this I realised I much preferred the look of this and did the same to "a". As you can see in step 4. a). The dimension for "a" are now 9 x 5cm per section. 

5. a) When I completed adding the people on I realised I either need to have them on both sides of the page or leave one blank and the other with the illustrations. 

6. a) Here you can see for the smaller format, I attempted using the back of the folded format to add the rest of the pages. I think this looks really effective.

7. b) and before I went further with altering the larger format I decided I wanted to make it look like a book and added card on the first and last page. 

8.b) I added the audience on both sides. By doing both methods I can clearly see I prefer the outcome of "a" over "b".
