Origami Tesselation Folding Folders – Kelli Anderson

…a folder of pre-scored auxetic folding patterns  …about the technical life of folds This folder contains eight fold-it-yourself RISO-printed posters (Two of each design: 1 scored/1 unscored.) Each features a different folding pattern with mechanical auxetic characteristics. (Meaning that if the sheet is stretched L/R, they also expand up and down, like a multidimensional paper spring.) Printed with fluorescent ink, the backs are geometric patterns, while the fronts show custom-drawn type, which deforms-and-collapses according to the planes of the pattern. The text provides folding instructions, as well as the tech uses (and potential) of each pattern. (origami mechanics have been…

…a folder of pre-scored auxetic folding patterns  …about the technical life of folds

This folder contains eight fold-it-yourself RISO-printed posters (Two of each design: 1 scored/1 unscored.) Each features a different folding pattern with mechanical auxetic characteristics. (Meaning that if the sheet is stretched L/R, they also expand up and down, like a multidimensional paper spring.)

Printed with fluorescent ink, the backs are geometric patterns, while the fronts show custom-drawn type, which deforms-and-collapses according to the planes of the pattern. The text provides folding instructions, as well as the tech uses (and potential) of each pattern. (origami mechanics have been used in everything from nanotech to spacecraft design.)

These prints just won an award from the Type Director's Club for their abuse of typography. woo!!!
