London Book Fair



A trip to London signified our mandatory visit to the London Book Fair, for research for our projects. I found the day interesting as it allowed me to understand the variation in recent and popular children's books. I found this trip linked a lot with my previous research at the beginning of the module. Here are some examples of some stalls and children's books that caught my eye:

Booki World's incorporation of digital media


Baker & Taylor Publishing

Old Pond Publishing


Wonderful simplistic designs

AzBooks

Azbooks' examples of puppetry/cuddly toy books for younger children

Azbooks' use of pop-up animals in books

Incorporation of sound in books, realistic imagery

Use of coloured paints to paint the story with - really love this idea as it fully involves the child, the story becomes part their's. This has some noticeable similarities to my designs.

Pop-ups

A book that turns into a mask - again, really involving the children with the book, fun activities!


Intelligent use of layering pages in books - works great with Non-Fiction and Reference  books.
