Costumbres y tradiciones del cantón Guano, propuesta de una serie de libros pop-up para los niños del cantón.

Abstract

In this research a proposal of a collection of books Pop-up for children of 7 and 8 years old of Cantón Guano about their customs and traditions was designed. The main problem is the lack of documented information becoming difficult to spread to future generations. In the collection of information two axes were taken. The first one, people of the Cantón who give truthful, sustainable and above all reliable information about their customs and traditions. This was collected through surveys. The second one, a sample of the children to whom the investigation was directed, applying surveys to know their tastes as far as the chromatic range, style of illustration and typographic readability. It is considered to take the Design Methodology proposed by Bruce Archer, where it provides three phases according to the need of the project, allowing to order the information from an internal part, that is, from a familiar part towards the society, in the hierarchical order according to the child's learning. Three books were designed, the first one, about customs for children of 7 years old. It includes topic regarding family and religion. The second one, about traditions for 8 years old kids with topics regarding paganism, the economy of the Cantón as well as the social part, and the last one, in its stories includes paper toys and stickers for 7 and 8 years old children, For designing characters and settings some conditions were taken from the Wacom Company, with an acceptance of 98% of the target audience, concluding that teaching using pop-up books is more effective compared to conventional teaching methods. It is recommended the implementation of this type of material for children to have a greater learning.
