Paper Toy or Papertoy?

by Matt Hawkins

Feb 4, 2008

As many of you know I'm working on a book about designer/urban papertoys. I'm thinking about using "papertoy" as one word as I've seen it done (and I've been doing lately) instead of two words "paper toy". As a way to make a differentiation about what we do as opposed to say the toy a kid would cut off the back of a little Debbie's cupcake box. Since this is the first book (at least that i know about) on the subject of designer papertoys it might be a good place to set that president. What do you guys think 1 word or 2.

    Papertoy with Capitalization! Its own category just like Origami, Kirigami, and Pepakura. Except those are Japanese.

      You lot are way deeper than I, I'd never thought about it. Y'all have gone and got me thinking, I'm with the majority, 'papertoy' is better. Maybe I'll try and make some changes on my site, switch everything to 'papertoy'. I like the 'urban paper' name too, but I live between the countryside and the sea, there's nothing 'urban' here so I couldn't call anything I do urban, could I?

      Could you say 'PaperToy' with capitals, but together like that? I wouldn't know.

      And to conclude, the book in question, by Mr. Matt Hawkins, will rock.
