AUDIENCE
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
Based on the understanding of the subject and the context, we conceptualised and came up with several possible approaches for the campaign of National book Week, directed to the children. These are outlined in the following pages.
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
APPROACHES APPROACH ONE EVENTS AT NBW • Communicating the significance of books and reading. • Introducing reading as a regular hobby. • Ideas dealing with amplifying ‘the fun that comes with reading books’ and the adventures that stories bring us.
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
APPROACHES APPROACH TWO READ BOOKS; AT NBW 2O13 • Promote National Book Week by publicising their book reading events. • Focus on the various events which are taking place and use them as a platform to eventually promote the love for reading.
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
APPROACHES APPROACH THREE KICKSTART READING AT NBW • This one is a middle ground between the first two. • Communicating how important reading is and at the same time stating that it is never too late to pick up a reading habit.

CONCEPTS With the processes above, we are providing you with two alternate approaches Based on the selected approaches, the visual styles can be applied to all the deliverables The textual content used is open to further modification based on the selected concept
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
CONCEPT ONE
FIND WHAT YOU SEEK From Volcanoes to Icebergs; books tell you everything. The idea of this approach was to capture the expanse of where books can take you It uses binaries to illustrate different subjects that books cover and the knowledge one gains is almost like chancing upon hidden treasure...
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
The series can be extended to more of these binaries— From the skies to the seas, From Jawaharlal Nehru to APJ Abdul Kalam, etc...
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
The idea is to have a series of three small visuals on each page of the newspaper – say – on page 3, 5 and 7, and on page 9 the concluding visual which connects the story and announces the National Book Week 2013. The overall content will be largely visual directing all traffic to the website, which shall provide all details of events and schedules.
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
POSTER LAYOUT a series of posters adapting the same visual language and directing the target to the website which contains all details about the event.

VISUAL STYLE Tactile Art Papercut illustrations Connecting binaries

CONCEPT TWO
IMAGINE, DREAM & GROW This approach talks of a child’s imagination which, fuelled by books, goes in to the wildest adventures. Adventures in space, or underwater, or even sunny skies, every story read will kick-start a new journey...
National Institute of Design. 17 October 2013. NBT
Starting with ‘Imagine if...‘, this campaign urges children to pick up a book, because that’s where the best stories await The newspaper ads have elements that ‘fly’ off the grid, showing that imagination knows no bounds...
