- Aug 22, 2023-

When books are no longer written only by words, but with paper as the sound, the creativity of paper is interpreted into picture books, changing the tradition of conveying information to readers through words and illustrations, giving picture books a unique artistic visual charm. The popular three-dimensional picture books show three-dimensional scenes and staged heart-warming dramas on paper, opening the dual doors of readers' visual and tactile senses through flipping and interaction, leading the interactive communication between readers and books. Three-dimensional picture books with different styles and vivid three-dimensional images attract children's interest in reading. Through the analysis of paper materials, paper structures and paper art techniques, this paper combines examples to study the creative design and application of different forms of expression in three-dimensional picture books.
Keywords: paper; Three-dimensional picture books; The idea of paper has been used since ancient times, from East to West, and paper as one of the four great inventions has been used to this day. In books, paper is the most widely used. In contemporary society, paper, as the main carrier of book design, is no longer limited to light paper and flat fields. Japanese book designer Yasuhei Sugiura and Chinese book design master Lv Jingren have both put forward the concept of "five senses design" of books, they believe that books are not only a carrier to provide readers with information, but also a "still life with feelings" that communicates with readers from five aspects: sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste. The five senses do not exist in isolation, but are interconnected. The concept of "five senses design" actually emphasizes the all-round communication and interaction between books and human senses, and the proposal of this theory expands the dimension of book binding design.
With the diversification of cultural communication methods, designers make full use of the ancient and young material of "paper" in the exploration of book design, so that the display form of books is becoming richer and richer. Among them, interactive three-dimensional books are presented to readers with a new form organization and form changes, especially to bring children a dynamic reading experience. As the page flips slowly or quickly, a boat hidden in a picture book can flow along the river, a cuckoo that tells the time can pop out of the clock, a rocket can be blown by a flamethrow... Many "fun" interactive elements make the flat book three-dimensional and changeable, mobilizing the multiple senses of young children. In addition to seeing, touching, and even listening when children read, this new comprehensive dynamic stereoscopic visual experience has always been the way forward in the field of book design. Three-dimensional picture books, also known as three-dimensional handmade books, are a combination of literary picture books and three-dimensional paper art.
This kind of book has changed the previous picture book narrative method of combining text narrative with flat illustration, and subverted the two-dimensional spatial form of traditional books. The whole three-dimensional picture book is like a three-dimensional building, the magic lies in the moment of opening and closing, the picture changes from flat to three-dimensional, with strong visual impact and sense of space, leading readers to interact and communicate with books, bringing readers a new reading experience. In the current information age full of various electronic products, three-dimensional picture books, as a unique form of paper art, have become the highlight of the children's paper book publishing market with their three-dimensional design language that cannot be replaced by electronic products. Children's reading habits are different from adults, they will not start reading from the first word, picture books as an important book category for children's early reading, you can break through the limitations of words, trigger children's imagination and thinking. With the popularity of children's reading picture books, the creativity of picture books is reflected in both content and form, and the forms of expression also show a trend of diversification. Simple graphic design can no longer meet the overall requirements of picture book design and the needs of the public, more and more modeling concepts can be integrated into picture book design, among which three-dimensional paper art provides more possibilities for picture book design. The combination of a variety of three-dimensional production processes and paintings, through high-quality technology and exquisite handwork, makes the three-dimensional picture book design have rich presentation effects.
With the development of modern technology, the display forms of three-dimensional picture books are becoming more and more abundant, and the design includes flip books, hole books, touch books, etc.; The materials include cloth, coated paper, mirror paper, etc.; Topics include emotion management, safety education, experiments, etc. Some interactive types of three-dimensional picture books do not even provide story text, let children make up their own stories, children are the author of the book, after opening, the original static picture through the children's own hands "moved", providing children with a diversified reading experience, arousing their curiosity, stimulating their interest in reading.
With the gradual increase in the attention paid to children's education, today's three-dimensional picture book creativity is endless, and there are countless excellent cases. As a major progress in human civilization, paper has been used to this day. In addition to being used for writing, paper is also an excellent art creation material, with rich creative space, "paper art" is the visual embodiment of "paper" as a raw material to be artistic. Because the paper itself is light, easy to make, and has many types, diversification has become the biggest feature of paper art. There are many kinds of modern paper art, such as paper cutting, origami, paper lace, quilted paper, three-dimensional paper carving, paper weaving, etc., and different paper art works are also unique because of the different papers. The development of paper art culture provides the source for today's artistic creation,
