Final Project: POP UP parsons paris card with LED

 

For the final project I want to make a pop up greeting card with light. For the topic of this greeting card i choose parsons and paris. For the past three month I been live and study at a different country for parsons paris. And it had gave me lots of great memories. I want to use these little memories and happiness in my life as elements for this greeting card. So when people see it, it is not only a card but also like a book with light and music that can telling the stories of my life .
