Storybook Favorites
As I was searching for the stories that would interest me, I noticed that every single storybook that was created by other students were incredibly deep and well made. The level of other students completed storybooks were very amazing that, I thought I was browsing through some famous authors blogs. After my research was over, these are the three stories that got me hooked.
1000 Ways To Die: Demon Edition focuses mainly on Ravana, Thataka, and Bhima from the Indian Epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Just like the title of the storybook, the main episodes are split into three chapters/sections and it mainly focuses on the evil deeds of the demons and how they were killed by righteous heroes. I was not familiar with the source materials since the idea of the Indian Epic was not generally covered or studied. As I was reading the storybook, it made me interested and eventually led me to read a whole wikipedia page about it. Introduction of this storybook got me hooked and interested, since boys generally like to read about action filled stories. Design for this page was very simple and the color of the text and the page fitted very nicely with the story itself.
Memoirs from the battlefield is a story about the Mahabharata, one of the most famed Indian Epic. The story book mainly focuses on the Kurukshetra War and the introduction does well explaining the back story of the storybook. The page layout is bright and filled with the ancient Indian arts which fits very well since the arts themselves are very colorful.
Epic Indian Battles focuses on what guys like the most, battles. The main character of the storybook is Joel, and it is written more as a observation journal of Joel as he follows Rama and all of Rama's battles. Introduction was witty and funny as it was written as first person view point of Joel. Page layout and design was rather simple and could have used more work. Overall nicely written and interesting.
