The first storybook I chose was the
“Real Housewives of Greek Mythology.”
Although I have never watched the actual show, I am familiar enough with
the Greek stories to see how well the drama could translate to a more modern
interpretation. The introduction drew me
right into the story, with its depiction of maybe a leaked or official script
from the show, which was an amazing stylistic choice. The website design itself was clean, but I
wasn’t a huge fan of how the Google Sites put the different sections
horizontally across the top. It was a
little counterintuitive to navigate.
The next story that captured my
imagination was called “Choosing Paradise” and although the title piqued my
interest, it did not illuminate what the story would be about. However, the introduction quickly cleared up
my confusion and drew me into the story, which dealt with some of the
interesting aspects to creating artificial intelligence. The author wrote that they were inspired by
Westworld, which is a very interesting show and I could see the relationship. I
really like the writing style of this one, as it used short, simple sentences
for great effect. The design of this one
was very similar to the other, with a clean layout and interface, but with the
same horizontal navigation that still seems somewhat inappropriate for a
story-based website.
The final storybook that I chose
was called “Queen of the Underworld” and was about some of the adventures of
Persephone in the realm of Hades. The
introduction framed Persephone in a captivating and almost relatable light,
while each of the stories drew in the reader to relate with the character’s. The design of the website was notably dated,
and it lacked the slick modern look of the newer Google sites. However, I really liked the navigation, which
was simply in a sidebar with all the available sections.
