I have a thing for pop ups

At my specialization review, all four professors were really digging the pop up aspect of my brochure advertising a tire inflating product. So naturally I thought this video (that i borrowed from my friend's blog...) was beyond fascinating!!!
I went to Books A Million yesterday and bought three really cool books, one by Paul Jackson called The Pop Up Book which teaches you how to make them,one called Creating Books & Boxes by Benjamin D. Rinehart, and one called Books Unbound by Michael Jacobs... I really need to learn how to make books so that when i redo my projects for August's (or December's) specialization review...my books will be much improved!..and with the pop-up book..maybe i can put in a little extra to my portfolio for the review!! The department chair thinks that I have a lot of potential..I want to be able to further exemplify that.... :) These are my summer projects..I hope they will turn out how I envision them...
I might do one of these for my senior thesis project......except maybe have more colors or maybe tell a story or something freakin' awesome.......or maybe i'll combine graphic design with illustration and even some spanish (all my interests so far at Winthrop) and make one awesome pop up, bilingual, well-designed, illustrated book!!!! LOL...how ambitious.... heh. If i want to do that...I should probably get started as of right now! lol...
