Storybook Favorites

The three storybooks I found most interesting all had to do with legendary creatures. https://sites.google.com/site/chrispunlap/introduction Discussed your typical evil legendary creatures, like vampires and werewolves. It also took a very interesting approach for the introduction, telling the story of a monster hunter in a format that I found very interesting. https://sites.google.com/site/seamonsters3043/introduction took this same approach in the form of a monster hunter at sea. I particularly enjoyed the background graphic that the first storybook used, while I thought the graphic of the ocean and all its tides was a really cool way to link to monster hunting there. The third storybook took a different twist to the story, instead looking at humans from the perspective of monsters: https://sites.google.com/site/ahumanencountersconvention/introduction. I enjoyed this twist a lot because it was a very atypical way of telling the story. As a whole, I felt the aesthetic of the pages worked really well with what the authors appeared to be trying to accomplish. The first one definitely gave off a serious and spooky vibe, while the last was the complete opposite. I think I'd also like to do a background that stays put while the words scroll, that was the most interesting background to me. I also think I'd like to repeat the organization that the storybooks used, I felt that the table of contents in the top left made a lot of sense to me. One tweak I might want to make is putting a link to the next story at the bottom of the previous story so it seems like the stories are continuously flowing. I do think I would be most interested in a topic similar to those written about by these authors, especially the one who wrote about the ocean. I find monsters a very interesting concept and I would like to specifically look at monsters in the context of mythology such as the hydra or gorgons.
