Describe the brief from the client
With the number of visitors decreasing drastically, the National Library Board wanted to create a series of posters that encourage Singaporeans (especially primary and secondary school students) to read more by visiting its public libraries.

Describe the challenges and key objectives
From video games to social media, we have more entertainment options today than we did just 10 years ago. Because of this, we wanted to remind people about the simple romance of reading, which lets our minds create a world based entirely on our own imagination: something only books can do.

Describe how you arrived at the final design
We invoked a sense of nostalgia by using the classics we all know and love. For many, these are the first books they read and through this campaign, we’ll make sure it won’t be the last.

Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The posters were only placed in public libraries and schools early this year, so it's still too soon to determine overall results. However, the schools and libraries are already asking for more copies of the posters, making it a first step in the right direction.
