There's something about the stories that involve the 21st century aspect that always catches my attention. Here are the three storybooks that were my favorite from the Mythology and Folklore submissions.

1. Love at First Retweet

This storybook took a spin on the classical tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It was interesting to see the story told from a 21st century perspective organizing the different social media platforms that college students use today. This is what really caught my attention. The self-made generated images were such a great addition, and made this storybook that much better. The introduction really drew me in, the design kept me wanting to know more. I think it still would have been cool to try different elements like different social media platforms and their images or maybe a story that could relate to another age group as Tinder may be targeted just towards college students. 

2. Camp Olympus

This storybook really took a different turn on how to explain a lot of the key characters in Greek Mythology. I really liked it, and it honestly made me think of a book or movie I had seen before. I can't quite get the exact name in my mind right now... but I will be sure to edit this blog if I remember. I think the introduction was very good about detailing what will happen and what the stories will be explaining. However, I do think there could have been some better images used just to help readers make some connections with the story instead of relying on solely imagination to think of how this may be taking place. However, I loved this storybook.

3. In The Digital Age

This storybook also took a perspective using elements from the 21st century. What I really liked about this storybook was that it didn't focus on a certain group of characters, or one story. It incorporated a number of different stories under an umbrella theme. I really liked how this design and layout of the website was well thought out. The introduction was really good about getting readers interested in each story that would be coming up by giving tiny snippets and previews. This really got my attention, and was also a favorite Storybook.
