Facts and fallacies of a Dead wood archive (ISTD)

The brief required to celebrate a book which is to be found by means of the Dewey system, incorporating your own birth date. By dissecting the brief it became apparent that this project was about life and death; to celebrate the life of books and libraries as they might be facing a dying era.

Assuming the brief was to persuade you to find factual information by having fun and an adventure within a library milieu, instead of just using the Google method. I perceive knowledge to be power and information as being a treasure, but the million dollar question was; how does one celebrates knowledge?

A typographic archive, in celebration of the book Facts and Fallacies, consisting out of index cards. This displays a design journey, which highlights key discoveries. This 
is based on the concept of nothing as it seems. The title, Facts and Fallacies of a dead wood archive, was chosen to celebrate the book, and the archive is literally a dead wood archive. 

The archive symbolizes the adventure of finding the book at the library. This also emulates the process of design, and the process that you are going to follow by digging deeper to unravel the facts and fallacies. The reason for illustrating my design journey was that I questioned, every step, which is how you separate fact from fallacy.
