Book Making Process 04

Because I think squeezing through bubble wrap is a stress reliever for many peosple. I added bubble wrap to my book to show the comfort zone concept and explore about the tactile feel of the book.

I find some visual references using bubble wrap as a visual element:

Typography for Empire Magazine by Andre Beato

Prepackaged, oil painting, 14" x 11" by Adam Vinson

Goldfish Bubble Wrap by Daisuke Akiyama

In these examples, bubble wrap can create an entirely new look and feel when placed on top of images.

I cut the bubble wrap to the size of a book page and taped it to each side of the inner test to enhance the tactile feel of the book.

Readers can release pressure as they squeez through the bubbles.
