Summary:
Paper is a readily available and inexpensive sculptural media. Pliable, ephemeral and easily manipulated with simple tools, it is a medium with which the artist can form three-dimensional shapes quickly through precise folding and cutting. Artist Richard Sweeney leads you through the three stages of his process, from the initial conceptual stage (whether drawing on natural or architectural forms for inspiration), to the basic shapes (modular, in column, or dynamic), and finally to the folding techniques, curved folding, parallel pleating, faceted pleating and radiating pleating. The author also discusses tools and types of paper best suited for this art form.

Summary:
This publication chronicles the flourishing of American decorated paper arts beginning in the 1960s and extending to the 2000s, with an ongoing legacy today. As knowledge and skills were shared across a grass-roots community in the 1960s, decorated paper became increasingly popular, with centers for the study of the book and paper arts emerging across the United States, and artists developing new, innovative styles of paper. The book begins with an introductory essay outlining the history of decorated paper arts in America up to the 1960s, followed by a chronological narrative, which surveys the development of the field and introduces the artists working from the 1960s to the 2000s, and an illustrated reference section with essential biographical and professional information for each artist.

Packplay is a reflection on user-centred design. Nine schools offered students packaging projects that put users at the heart of the design process, reversing a flow that would typically start with production priorities. Understanding how users experience a brand, and product, helps determine the success of packaging. Broad guidelines allowed the addition of other topics and teaching objectives. This is the official book of Packplay (Fall 2014) at the UQAM Design Centre. It’s a collection of the best student work along with thoughts provided by some of their teachers.
