Typography
paper craft is the use of paper to created a new style with font/type. Many designers have explored different solutions of fonts/type to mainly create
a three dimensional effect or illustration. This process brings a new perspective that is
not only new but interactive with the viewers. For example, pop up cards
contains three-dimensional paper cut of either illustration and letterform that are
appealing to the viewers.
The mixture of typography and paper allows the designers to play, manipulate and build type/fonts using traditional medium. The link video is an example of designers using paper to create a front page website design for their client's agency.
The use of Typography paper craft can also be
knowledge to understand three dimensional in computer as well. I will be introducing different
