Summative Questions

        For my summative project, I want to link Architecture with Graphic Design. I want to make a flip book of images. When you flip through my book at high speeds, you would see something like a cartoon video of a 3D walkthrough of one of my houses which I designed. On the back of those images, I want to make a collection of my works – Kind of like a portfolio. This would include sketches, floor plans, and some other stuff I have done for my portfolio.


1. What is your book about?
Architecture – I want to show a visual representative of my works in some kind of visual flip-book.

2. What makes your content choice specific to you?
I want to explore architecture and graphic design. I would like to be able to put it all my way, in my own unique way.

3. How are you going to represent your content?
I want to make some kind of visual walk-through of my work. Perhaps some kind of flip-book of a walk-through (Kind of like a Cartoon/Comic) of one of my houses I designed.

4. How do you intend to communicate the content?
It would be a flip-book and the user would flip through my work. One page you’d be flipping through one house and on the back would be another house.

5. What content editing methods will you use?
Photoshop will be a big one, but I will also be using Softplan to generate my 3Ds. InDesign will be used to layout all my pages.

6. What media are you using to make your imagery?
Photoshop and Softplan.

7. Why are you making this particular book?
I am making this book to show all my work in the smallest possible way.

8. How does your choice of content suit your skills, experience, and interest?
I want to get into Architecture and I feel this book will push my limits in architecture and my skills in Graphic Design.

9. Describe the style and look of your book and how it is linked to the content.
My book will be very colourful giving it visual appeal.
