Project Overview
Transforming a book named Home Rules into eBook format. Instead of going back and forth searching for references, we’ll introduce elaborative links of the features in an app. While keeping the original texts of the book, we were to make it more interactive for the readers to engage in reading it while they get to choose where and how to learn more about the book more effectively. Replacing the image of a black and white book, we were to bring a colorful visualization to readers reading experience and make it more engaging and visually pleasant, in order to create a better learning experience.
