My Storybook Favorites For Future Reference

The first project that I read wasMermaid Tales of The World. The title was a good gateway into what the stories were about. I really enjoyed this, and it was something completely new to me. I was especially intrigued by her introduction and origins. I liked how she put it from a mermaid’s point of view, and I also really enjoyed how she gave some background information. I think that was necessary to fully get her stories across. The layout went along with the topic, and gave the overall feeling of being underwater, where the stories would take place. As for design, I liked the index being on the side, but it also made me think that I may want another way to just click to the next page.

The next storybook I took a look at, and really enjoyed was The Insider to the Royals. It was such an interesting twist on the stories we all loved and grew up with, and took the familiar a little farther. I originally decided to read it because I love reading about kings and queens, but when pleasantly surprised when it was about the cartoon royals we all know. I really liked the simple layout, and this might be something I look into when I am doing my storybook. I also thought the introduction and title were nice entries. They gave the explanations they needed to.


Lastly, I read Tales of Mount Olympus High. The introduction flowed with the rest of the story, which intrigued me! This was different than the other two I read because it was one storyline all the way through. I think I may want to do this for my storybook because I like the setup of every section being like a new chapter. I liked that her index was laid out across the top of the page, instead of the side. The layout and pictures of this one nicely combined to look very well put together, which is now something I will recall when creating my pages.
