Book Interpretation Borrow an Non-Fiction book from someone you know (flat mate, friend, relative etc.). It can be about anything. The subject is irrelevant. It can be any size, can be instructional, historical, bibliography, poetry, craft etc, as long as it’s nonfiction. Don’t go looking for something specific, just get a book immediately. The only rule is that you can gave it as a physical copy. When you have a book photography the cover an put it on the padlet, there is a column call Book. This book is the information you will be working with for this brief. Read and examine the book, read the content. Can you understand the subject? Is all the information new to you? Examine the book, for example, what condition is it in? What does the condition tell you about the book/ subject/or the people who have loaned it? What type of stock/ font has been used? Is it image or mostly text? What is your opinion of the book/subject? Do you see the book as information, narrative, object, language, etc? Your brief is to interpret your book from your personal perspective. Your outcome must clearly communicate this interpretation of the book.
