Pop-ups and Card MechanismsPop-ups and Card Mechanisms
What are Pop-ups?Pop-ups are used in greetings cards and children's books. They are made with a mechanical action and are designed to be dynamic and eye catching. When you open a pop-up something should happen to attract interest. Pop-ups are easy to make with card and paper.

What are card mechanisms?Card mechanisms are basic mechanisms that are used to create movement. Most types of mechanism involve the use of a fixed pivot and a floating pivot.
A fixed pivot involves attaching the moving part to the base card, usually with a split pin. The moving part or lever will then pivot around the fixed location.A floating pivot is a pivot that is allowed to move, again often attached with a split pin. The movement created depends on the type of mechanism.

Bought-in componentsBought-in components
Graphic products are often combined with other materials and components to produce a product for a particular purpose.
Examples of bought in components may include light bulbs (LED’s) batteries and wires to create an electrical circuit which may be used on a point of sale stand to attract attention.
Components can be combined with any appropriate materials to enhance or add structure. Products on the market often have a mix of graphic product, materials and added components like fastenings to meet the design need.
A jigsaw for example could be designed and stuck to a pre cut MDF jigsaw piece.
