Overall Impression
This is a collection of over 70 models from seven members of the London Origami group. It comes
as a CD-ROM, containing an attractive interactive Flash-based menu system showcasing each artist's work, along
with biographical details. Each model is accompanied by the artist's thoughts about its design process. You
can even listen to original music composed and performed by Robin Glynn while browsing the menus.
The diagrams can be accessed through the menus, or picked from the CD's folders in PDF format.
While many of the models may be available elsewhere, there is still a wealth of material exclusive to this CD.
