ABC3D

Joris — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 06:42:42 +0000

Without any doubt the most innovative and smart pop-up book I have ever seen.

Prepare to be amazed. From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands all the way to the Z, ABC3D is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book. Each of the 26 three-dimensional letters move and change before your eyes. C turns into D with a snap. M stands at attention. X becomes Y with a flick of the wrist. And then there’s U…Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come.

Made by the French graphic and book designer Marion Bataille.

Enjoy!

Let’s Play! An introduction to Gamification

Gamification, an introduction:

Gamification is the process of incorporating game play elements into non-gaming applications such as products, services, websites, software, processes, marketing and communities in order to drive participation, engagement and loyalty. Gamification’s main purpose is to help people to get from point A to B in their lives: whether it be for personal growth, societal improvement or marketing engagement. It tricks people into believing that there’s a simple way to imbue their thing. With the psychological, emotional and social power of a great game.
