London Book Fair!

3x INNOVATIONS!

1.High Contrast Mirror books for babies and toddlers.
You would think that high contrast books and other objects are not very suitable for young people, but these hello baby books are very interesting.

1. The design is innovative in terms of cut outs and materials used. These books are not cheap, but very qualitative.
2. I consider them to be innovative for one simple reason: the company is using plastic mirrors with high contrast simple forms to get the books noticed of their unusual form. The primary colours are used well enough to lead eyes into the middle, and then the viewer's face is mirrored onto it. Very intelligent.
3. The innovation is used very well and accompanies the design beautifully, although if it is perfectly suitable for babies and toddlers, somebody should consult a general practitioner or a children's psychologist.



2.

1. The innovation has manifested itself in cut-outs, geometric forms and colour contrast.

2. I consider the books to be successful, because they introduce children to very useful geometry knowledge in simple pop-ups and cut-outs. The latter makes surrounding design quite complicated, but the spreads are simply beautiful and comprehensible.

3. The design is more than appropriate for children: simple, minimalistic, higher contrast, though lower that the previous one. And all the attention goes onto the pop-ups, that is the main point of the books.



3.

1. Vishy Books has delivered a lot of innovative composition in books. The main innovation is form of the book (in the picture), that has a layout of a simple linear reading experience, though no binding, thus requires folding.

2. The innovation is not so new, but with every different book design and illustrations, it looks new and fresh. The accordion composition lets children be interactive on their own, while unfolding and folding it again.

3. The design has been done very well, offering a linear reading experience with a twist.
