We partnered with The New York Public Library to bring classic works of literature where they’ve never been before, the Instagram feeds of thousands. The design for each novel takes a contemporary approach to make the text feel especially relevant, both to Instagram and to the 21st century. Each book was animated by a different artist, each with an unexpected and conceptual take.
