Origami
West Side Story Volume 54 Issue 5, April 22, 2022
I adore origami, so I was ecstatic when I got the opportunity to share my love of origami through instructional design. My process started with making the pattern of the square origami paper – located at the bottom of the page for readers to cut out. I then printed these myself to fold mock-ups, which I could then use as references for my illustrations of each step. I did this to ensure that when someone is going through the steps, not only will the general shape of the paper match up with what’s in-front of them, but the pattern will line-up as well.
Additionally, if pictures aren’t enough for the reader to understand, they can scan the QR code for video instructions that I made on how to fold a different – more beginner friendly – origami flower.
