My 4 sketches for the design of the book cover. I had to make different sketches to try and find the right design that reflected my flip book. Mad helped me with a concept that reflected my flip book with changes made to making some of the words look like tape and the word WALL look like it was written on tape. I chose to write my letters with a San Serif with wide lettering and the word WALL done in black with shading towards the bottom. Instead of writing the word fly I chose to draw a fly instead. Let me point out that this was a long process of taking photos of these images and creating a book out of the 40 images. Each of these photos were done with a app that allowed up to take it in video format but slowed the frame rate down to grab each image. Once my cover was finished, I bounded the book with PVA glue. I collated and clamped the pages together and filed score marks across the side of the spine and used PVA glue to secure them together. This is called a perfect bind. Once it was fully assembled and you flip through the book like in the video, you can see the persistence of vision, you can sense the flow, like a video. Just like time lapse photography, where you take so many images per second.
