Old things

   I love the detail that use to go into hard back books with small patterns (celtic like)



I love old things, I like the idea of items that have been loved and used so much they start to wear out. Also because I am starting up a business on creating sketchbooks I felt that antique books are going to be a main influence for me and my designs. However my plan is not to copy these old worn out books I will develop them and make them my own, giving them a new lease of life. I also found these pictures on google in images. I put the picture of the paper in with the books because it is linked to the old hardback books, I just think that the old rugged pages give a book a unique feel making it individual.

I also found this image on google however I wasn't expecting to see an old globe, I love the look of this image it just pops. I love the colour of the old globe I feel it makes it look dated but suits it's era, I think the tints of colour make it more special as it's just hinting of the idea of water and land, reminds me of the map made for Lord of the rings.
