Researching Different Paper Experiments and Binding Techniques

 

Concertina

Now I have my storyline, I need to put it in to context with my format decision. This first one, and my preferred choice would be Concertina. It is an effective way to show the progression of the story. And having cutouts in different sections, can be very appealing and interesting for the viewer. 

Lino printing could be a simple but effective way of printing the colours, however, I want my green to be bold and not patchy by the end of it. 

Laser cutting paper is another way forward with the storyboard, this would make the line sharp and precise. It would be more effective than lino. I also think that screen printing is a good idea for the characters to look sharp and statue like. 

Here's me experimenting with different formats. The first one being the Japanese binding technique, the second being a concertina design. The third being a simple stitching technique. 

In this you can see that the camera is struggling to represent the green colour in this Atoll colour and it looks more blue. I will have to ask Debbie to see if there's different papers that look more like Verdigris. 

Here are a few slides from my presentation with Debbie explaining I I would include the people into the formats I prefer;
