Explosion Book featuring multiple layers
Scope and Contents
This structure features an “explosion” of inward folds that reveal themselves as the spread is opened. The explosion fold adds a whimsical feature to the book. Explosion folds can be added anytime there are two or more text pages together or two or more heavy pages together. The artist can make this fold more complex by nesting smaller and smaller explosion folds within each other or varying the color and texture of the paper.
