In this second edition of our Social Media Round-up we have some great pictures to share from the Movable Book Society Conference that took place in Boston this year. Talented paper engineers from all over the world came to show and demonstrate their latest projects and publications. We’ve also found some new works on twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram. We think that you’ll enjoy this edition of our Social Media Round-up that’s packed with scoops and full of surprises!

Arsenal Stadium Pop-up book by David Hawcock

David Hawcock shares high quality video’s of his impressive pop-up books on YouTube. All video’s show a preview of one page per book. His latest video A Pop-up Celebration of Arsenal’s Highbury Stadium, is one of the many well made video’s on his YouTube channel you really should follow.


The work of Colette Fu

Paper engineer Colette Fu shared this video of a pop-up two weeks ago on her Youtube channel. Colette makes beautiful pop-up’s from photo’s. Her work is very impressive and we thought you might be interested in her work. We’ve seen all kinds of pop-ups but the combination of real people’s portraits in pop-up’s that pop-out and animate is refreshing! You can also follow Colette Fu on Facebook.
