The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker is something I am very familiar with. I consider it a yearly tradition around Christmas, whether I go see the ballet or listen to the soundtrack from it. I even danced in The Nutcracker when I was younger. Ballet is very important to me and that's why this Storyboard grabbed my attention. The Introduction does a wonderful job of portraying the topic and prompting me to read the story. I particularly liked how the Introduction reflected the core of the original story of The Nutcracker with a little twist. The layout and design of the page was pretty and clean, from the layout and design it did not hint any change in the original plot of the story. I liked the fact that there weren't too many pictures, so I was able to interpret and imagine the story through my own perspective.



Real Housewives of Greek Mythology

The Real Housewives of Greek Mythology immediately grabbed my attention because of its title. One of my guilty pleasures is Reality TV, therefore I had no hesitation deciding on this Storyboard. I love how in the Introduction there is reference to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Atlanta, and New York. That same theme carries on throughout the pages. The story is organized by Season and Episode. I think that is a great idea and really draw viewers in. Those are some design features I could potentially use in my own project.




Witches of Oz

 Witches of Oz is a quirky and cute spin off of The Wizard of Oz. I really like the idea that Princess Ozma is the ruler of Oz. The Wizard of Oz is a complex story to begin with and many backstories play a role into bringing it all together. It really grabbed my attention when reading through the Storyboards. I really enjoy the thought of getting to know the witches from North, East, South, and West. I think the Introduction does a great job of explaining the topic and portraying the theme. I like the details and layout of the pages.
