My Storybook Favorites

Storybook One

Social Media in Ancient India

I absolutely loved this storybook. I was extremely impressed with the creativity that took place when creating this assignment. I thought the tumblr post captured exactly what the average mind (with knowledge of the internet, of course) would expect when reading a tumblr post while also giving clear information on the story. I thought the Facebook posts as well as the iMessage conversation added to the overall creativity to the project. That definitely was appealing as I could appreciate the hard work put in. I also really liked the instagram post with the filtered listed. I thought that was pretty funny. Overall, I really enjoyed this storybook because it added a modern twist on The Ramayana. It was very unique in the cluster of storybooks.

Storybook Two

Demon/Afterlife Anger Management

I thought this storybook was really entertaining and might be my favorite out of the three I picked. Some of the lines in the introduction had be laughing to myself as there was a certain sense of humor that seemed to fit perfectly with the overall projection of the piece. Dr. Phil is clearly an entertaining program and for The Ramayana to be added into this makes for an exciting piece. By doing this, I think there was an opportunity for the reader to identify a sense of humility among the characters that may not have been evident otherwise. I thought the creator of the storybook did an incredible job in portraying the first person point of view of the characters. I really felt as if I was listening to a confessional from these characters which was an interesting turning of the tables. Overall, I enjoyed the creativity in this storybook and the ability to expand on the ideas.

Storybook Three

Oscars: The Heavenly Academy Awards

This storybook had the broadest design out of the others. I thought as if it was the best portrayal of an awards show. The wide variety of colors definitely allowed the storybook to stick out. I really enjoyed how all of the stories were similar in name and played into the theme of an awards show. Like the previous storybook, I thought this one also did a wonderful job with the first person point of view dialogue. I felt as if I really was reading dialogue that was said by these characters. Overall, I enjoyed the storybook because of its unique theme.
