As the handheld book struggles to keep up with modern demand of instant reads such as the kindle. It’s important to highlight how many second hand bookshops will be finding it difficult to keep up. So with this exercise i want to highlight the buildings historic features alongside a 3d model of each floor and each section labeling the a-z in each area.
I started this exercise by doing a basic drawing in illustrator from an image of an old Victorian terrace house labeling the different levels of the bookshop.
Before then doing an outline of each level in more detail i will then add the bookcase in a different colour and add what the section includes.
See below the finished piece i’ve kept this very basic and easy to read but still shows the elements of the house and where bookshelves are and what sections are where. I wanted to keep sections to only two areas per room, with the current social distancing rules implemented for the foreseeable future i think it’s important to keep people apart as much as possible, that and long term i find it easier to find things i want when i know exactly where to go for example if i was looking for Novels i know to go into the back room on the ground floor, back shelf. Almost like if i looked on google to see where a certain shop was and how far i need to walk/drive to get in and out quickly as possible.
