Try and error on pop up booklet

Our idea on pop up booklet will contain map which show the exact location of the shop,prices,operation hours,history of the shop,the speciality and contact of the shop.We will using cute icon and attractive pop up to attract people for letting them know those traditional trades in Georgetown and also help to promote and prevent traditional trades from fading .At the same time,people will feel fun with those pop up in the booklet and the size we used is 15cm x 15 cm which is easy to keep.We will come out with booklets that categorise into three categories according to different road.In this project,we will just focus on Cintra Street, Chulia Street and Magazine Road.

Fisrt version of the pop up booklet.

Dicussion during the class.

Using wrong material as the normal A4 paper is not that suitable.Some of the measurement and arrangement of the  pop up is wrong as well.

Second try of my pop up booklet.

Comment from Dr.Nurul, using wrong colour scheme,have to standardize the color scheme and its a bit messy.Standardize the icon of cute vehicles used either with or without the outline.Background of the booklet is too empty.Using wrong type of paper for the cover and content as well.

Third try of pop up booklet.

As time is flying very fast,its coming to the 11th week.All of us are rushing for coming Final year graduation Rintis showcase but we stil trying our very best to complete our happiness project so that it can be exibited during Rintis showcase.
