From plan to action – Final Major Project ABC flip-books

For a while now I’ve had in mind that I should make these mini flip books to give away at the final year show. The last couple of days have been spent planning and making these flip-books. I must admit I have changed the plan. My initial plan was to create about 25-50 flip books.

  • The content for the flip book will be from the animation in the beginning of my video.
  • These books will be limited edition – which means they will be different to the animation from the video.
  • Each book will be different. Could be the cover or the colour.
  • The books will have either an A, B or C shaped inspired by the typography of my burning question poster.
  • The front cover of the book will be stamped using the same type as the video.
  • Each book will have up to 20 pages.

After creating one book, I realised that my plan was unrealistic because It was very difficult to create that amount of copies in a very short amount of time. However, instead of giving away the ABC books I decided that these will be part of my video along with a poster. What will be interesting is that each word from the video will be swapped with another word that best describes it. For example, in my first book ‘Employment’ gets replaced by ‘disappointment’. I believed that this will be really striking because it will be provocative. My idea is to show the viewer the truth about the education system.
