Crossed-out Classics
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Press & Outdoor / Press Campaigns / 2021
With so many forms of entertainment (movies, tv series, podcasts), books are losing ground each day. Project Gutenberg is one of the biggest ebook libraries of the world, with over 60,000 free titles – most of them all-time classics. To show why reading books is more relevant than ever, The Community tapped into the most important part of stories: the content. Project Gutenberg analysed, compared, and then crossed out classic titles in comparison with their screen adaptations to show how much of the story is lost when a book is turned into a movie.
