Storybook Favorites
The first Storybook I read was Greek Myth Retold: Women. I am familiar with a good amount of greek mythology, but I was somewhat unfamiliar with the stories of Medea and Antigone specifically. The title of the Storybook was what really caught my eye. I was very interested to read about two women from a genre of stories that focuses primarily on men. As for the aesthetic of the Storybook, I think it had a very good use of pictures mixed with text. It used traditional Greek art of the women, which I think was a great choice for these stories, as opposed to any more modern or abstract photos.
The second Storybook I looked at was Death's Final Story. I initially looked at it for the title, but this one actually grabbed my attention because it was in second person, which is rare to find in any story. There were not many photos in this story, and the ones that were included were ominous and vague. But I actually think this was very appropriate considering the subject matter and the eerie and mysterious manner in which the story was written. I would definitely consider using second person in my stories, because I think it added something to the overall impact of the story.
The third and final Storybook I read was The Stories of Hans Christen Anderson. I've always loved those fairytales and I thought this was an interesting take because it included the fairytales within another story about a town celebration. I think this post could have used more pictures, or at least more pictures that had to do with what specifically was happening in the story. Overall though I enjoyed the stories and the unique way they were presented. The navigation of the Storybook was very easy to use, though the blue font was sometimes hard to read and the font type was sometimes inconsistent.
