About Budapest Giftbook Daumenkino

Budapest Giftbook ist ein Daumenkino, das Budapest, Ungarn, in einer Reihe von Illustrationen präsentiert. Durch das schnelle Durchblättern der Seiten entsteht die Illusion einer fortlaufenden Bewegung, sodass das Buch sowohl als gedrucktes Objekt als auch als Kurzfilm funktioniert. Jede Illustration lässt sich zudem für sich allein betrachten. Das Buch umfasst 360 Seiten und misst 146 mal 107 Millimeter. Das Wappen auf dem Umschlag ist mit Silberfolienprägung ausgeführt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Souvenir, eine Inspirationsquelle und ein kompakter Stadtführer.

Budapest Giftbook is a book and a film, a source of inspiration and a minimalist travel guide, a work of art and a souvenir. Graphic identity of the city.

Production Technology: The crest (main symbol) on the book cover was produced with silver foil printing.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part of the designing process was to test and create motion and editing of the subsequent pictures in a way that seamless animation is presented when flicking through the book, but the pictures can be enjoyed individually, too, by the viewer.
Research: For the design the typical symbols of Budapest were studied (e.g. landmarks, architectural elements, cultural artifacts), and for the creation various animation and editing techniques were explored.
Inspiration: The design was inspired by all that one loves about Budapest. The atmosphere, the ambient streets, historical buildings and busy squares. The Danube, a river that is international to the core, divides as much as it connects the two individual parts: Buda and Pest. The cultural impressions (landmarks, buildings, cuisine, nightlife and arts) were the main motives during the designing process.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2019 and was finished in June 2019 in Budapest.
Operation Flow: The design of the book comes to life through interaction with the user, as by his act (i.e. flicking through the pages, something which may be familiar for all from their childhood), the animation and the movements happen. Besides being a nostalgic, interactive gift enjoyable by anyone irrespectively of age, the book also doubles as a practical tour guide. This complex nature granted that after its introduction, the Budapest Giftbook was received with a great success in the social media, as well as by the professional critics.
