The story of Ravana
This storybook is very interesting, especially if you have little to no knowledge about Indian myths and folklore. This storybook was told through the eyes of Ravana's grandfather. The storybook starts out with some background information regarding Ravana, and then continues to tell the story from his birth to his death at the hands of Rama and his thousands of soldiers. The story is told very well, but the web page itself is fairly bland. The page consists of a dark background with white characters, and a few pictures here and there, but that's about it. While this doesn't take away too much from the story as a whole, it does fail to grab the readers attention.
Rama and Sita
This storybook immediately grabbed my attention, as the aesthetic of the page was executed flawlessly. This story is about the love story between Rama and Sita, and the web page reflects this this by telling the story with a faint gray background and light green text. There is also a tree branch with some flowers on it at the top of the page. All of these represent the themes of nature and life, which are present throughout the story. Like the story over Ravana, this story also includes little pictures throughout its pages. The storybook takes from multiple stories about Rama and Sita and combines these bits and pieces into one story.
Ganesha loves his food
Without a doubt, this is the storybook that caught my attention the most, as the title of this storybook was much more relaxed and fun than the storybooks above. The other storybooks had bland titles that shouted what the story was going to be about, whereas this storybook's title is more relaxed and doesn't outline the coming story. This story had a bland white background with black characters and it continued the pattern of 1 picture per page. This storybook did offer something new, which was a header picture for each page. I liked this tactic, as it gave you a visual hint of what you were going to read before you started. Lastly, this storybook had its contents written in a lot of quotations and paragraphs. This made it difficult to read for me, as it was so dialogue heavy that I couldn't get a good grasp on the setting and descriptions of the characters.
