The Challenge

Design an Interactive Fold Book Using Song Lyrics

The kickoff project in my Typography class was to create a fold book that represents a song, poem, or quote. I decided to choose Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. This song from the 80s has reached a new peak of popularity from its use in the Netflix show Stranger Things. I decided to use themes from Stranger Things as well as my own interpretation of the song to guide the design for my fold book.

The Work

Running Up That Road

Setting the tone with a mood board that attempted to capture the essence of the song’s ambient, complex, emotional, and otherworldly sound.

The Results

Running Up That Hill

A better way to view this PDF is through a tile-by-tile layout so that the story is clearer. The physical copy of the book is folded accordion style and spreads out for the viewer to read. Use the zoom feature on the embedded PDF and scroll horizontally to read the fold book.
