Old book new : initial brief


Brief:

Old tatty books are often forgotten about, they sit in charity shops or shelves of older relatives gathering dust never seeing the light of day. Find a way to re invent the old book into something new, spreading the awareness of a book that was once loved but now forgotten. 

Looking at old books is something that I enjoy. I enjoy the look of the old paper and that they are authentically old. They have been around for such a long time that that book that houses a story also hold a story of its own, where it's been, who's owned it and much more. Old books have so many individual quirks that make them special which is why I believe people should not forgot about them especially in today's digital age. The purpose of Old Book New is to highlight to people that there are some really interesting old books waiting to be found in charity and junk shops like little treasures. By making the book new it will then get a persons attention and they will pay attention to old books.
