Diseño de material didáctico con técnica pop up como material educativo de la fauna endémica de las islas Galápagos

Abstract

The current project began as an interest in increasing and transferring knowledge regarding the Galapagos Islands, its characteristics, history, unique and millenary species in an innovative, fun and tridimensional way; symbolically betting on our planet through using our senses to learn about it, respect it and even better to protect it based on changes.

One of the main aspects of this project is the illustration of each endemic species of the islands starting from the basic shape and drafting it to use this as the starting point to obtain a variety of landscapes, species and complements.

The design process applies techniques from mobile books; this technique uses paper engineering to produce a tridimensional effect based on the previous study of fundamental topics about illustration, color, typography and publishing design focusing along a project conceived for the target public allowing to create in a joined, correct and coherent way each piece of knowledge which the book wants to transmit; allowing the reader to enjoy this activity, the integral learning process and the increase of knowledge generating an harmonic relation among the activity, the knowledge and the surrounding world.
