"Sometime create is based on some previous dull ideas."
In this
lesson, I need to make a creative book to present a short story. I though a
long time to design a creative book. Then, I decided to make a 3D book with
character and background “Pop-up”. It is quite difficult for me. After 5 hours
of work, the book is 75% complete. I stopped working and look at the book. I
realize the book is just like a traditional 3D book that can be found in any
bookshop. I cancel the original plan and start a new plan.
But
before I start to design a new book, I need to know more about the creative or
interactive book. I search on the Internet and bookshop to see other peoples’
book. I find that there are some common thing among them. They are all designed
in flipping paper to read and there is no “user input”. So I designed a triangular
prism shaped book and there are two different ending for readers to choose.
After
this lesson, I learn how to think creatively in a scientific way. First, I need
to become familiar with the thing I need to create. Although it is easy for me
to guided by traditional things and create some old-school ideas. I can stop
working and stand back one step to compare my work. So I can make another plan
before it is too late.
