Storybook Favorites

After browsing through the storybooks for this class I have chosen a few that really caught my attention. Here are some of my favorites.

Temple of Doom (Link)
This storybook instantly stood out to me because of the interesting title. When I saw it I immediately thought of the Indiana Jones movie and i had to click the link and find out what it was about. The design of the page is great. Beautiful and crisp images serve as links to the the sections of the project and the background is a rolling thunderstorm that actually moves as you surf the page which I found to be very cool. The introduction starts with dialogue which got me to continue reading but didn't really grab my full attention. I chose this storybook because of the great design.

The Entrepreneur (Link)

I chose to click on the link for a couple of reasons. I am majoring in entrepreneurship so just seeing the word in the title caught my attention, and then as I thought about it I wanted to see an entrepreneur had to do with Indian Epics. When I clicked the link I was very impressed with the design and layout of the page. The overlaid images that move as you scroll is a great look, although it can be a little bit confusing. The introduction was a little bit boring in my opinion. It did really grab my attention or hook me in more than any other story but it still got me to want to read the story mostly because of my interest in the topic of entrepreneurship. 

CSI: Indian Epics (Link)

When I came across this title I immediately clicked it because I wanted to know how CSI related to Indian Epics. As soon as the page opened and I began reading the introduction I was hooked. One of the first lines reads "If you are reading this it means I am dead." I had to find out what that meant and definitely wanted to keep reading. The design was interesting. The page is made to look like writing on a yellow notepad which corresponds the to the story being told of someone finding a journal. As I continued reading past the introduction I was very impressed with the detail of the story as the author described the death of each person, evidence gathered, etc. I really liked this storybook.
