Storybook Favorites

The topic of this storybook is to focus and tell of the different stories of creation from the Bible to stories from Norse mythology, except this storybook does it from a perspective of one creator creating multiple planets. I enjoyed the intro but it was definitely confusing before reading the authors notes on each planet's page (the inspiration behind each story). I liked each images in the intro as well as the format, they were all similar style and visually appealing. Using these images helped paint the creation and visuals for each planet.

I liked the visuals on this site a lot, the red and black really create a gothic look that pairs nicely with the gothic vampire stories told by the author. The intro gave a quick look into what each story was about and how they connect with each other. The storytelling format of both the introduction and each story page was fun to read and well written. I liked the idea of linking each story within the introduction but it looks like the author forgot to do the other two aside from the very first story. I particularly liked the titling and header to the site instead of a plain title, having it look more artistic and creative gave more UMPH to the stories themselves.

This was probably the coolest formatted and told storybooks I found. It read like a script or as if it were a conversation of someone walking you through each haunted place. In my head, it played out like a TV show. Formatting the Indian ghost stories into a script like format made them more  readable. The introduction itself gave us background to the characters and why there were in the places they were in. I particularly like the image of the plane as a means of explaining they were on the way to each of the story destinations. This storybook also linked their pages in the intro, something I really liked.

Introduction to a Horror Movie Lover

Hello everyone, my name is Callie Simonton. I'm a Film and Media studies major currently in my final semester at the University of Oklahoma. I love movies, specifically horror movies. That's a strange niche I know, who in their right mind would choose that genre over the rest? Maybe it's due to the fact that I grew up with them and find even the low budget and cult movies to be an enjoyable experience. Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 7 Story: Adventure Amongst the Clouds

Ari desired more than what his life currently entailed. He wanted to live it to it’s fullest. Ari was a simple man, but being simple wasn’t enough. One day, he saught his fortune from a local psychic, who in turned told him to travel to the mountains and honor the gods to find his destiny. Ari prepared a large backpack and some humble meals for the long travel. He already was a religious man, so he had easily packed all his praying equipment. So began Ari’s long journey up the mountainside. Every morning he would pray and meditate for 3 hours, he’d brought offerings, enough for every day he woke up in the mountains. It was one morning when Ari was meditating when he heard an animal approaching. It was a boar, with anger in it’s eyes and an intent to kill. Ari looking longingly at the boar, it had been a while since he’d had a decent meal, and his offerings to the god during his morning rituals were diminishing. A boar would be a feed him and his praying for the days to come. S...
