Week 1, Storybook Favorites

The first story book I chose was "How to Acquire Divine Wisdom: The Journey of Jack
." I chose this story because I have always had an interest in the supposed divine wisdom found in the Indian culture. Have little knowledge on the subject I figured this was the best place to start. The introduction does indeed grasp my attention and I believe the way the story is put together wold not only keep me entertained but also educate me. I found the overall layout of the pages to be very pleasing in the fact that they are put together in a series of well laid out chapters. The random paintings also help make the pages more ascetically  pleasing.

The second story I read was titled "Paranormal: The Ayodhya Files." The title grabbed my attention because I find the paranormal rather interesting and have researched the subject in the past. On reading into the story I found the title did not disappoint and indeed does tell of the paranormal. After reading the first couple paragraphs I had been drawn into the story completely. I found the descriptive qualities throughout the story to really drive my imagination and my desire to continue reading. While I didn't mind the page layout, it came off as a little cheese. I believe this story and its layout will persuade me to use a more professional design.

The third story I read was titled "Dr. Kamadeva, Love Therapist." I was attracted to this story because I know the Indian culture focuses a lot on love and the human passions so I wanted to learn more. After reading into the story I found that the title did indeed fit the story and I was further drawn into the story. I really enjoyed the lighthearted style of writing the author uses, it makes the pages easier to read and puts the reader at ease.I also found the layout to be very satisfying in the fact that the pictures and colors were not overwhelming. I would definitely use this type of layout on my project.
