Why we chose Smore
The technology we chose was smore, because smore is a simple way to express yourself. The tone of the book was sad and depressing so we thought the smore would be an easy way to show that side of the time period. Since we chose character vacation, we needed a website that was able to contain all the information we needed to include. We chose this background for our flyer to show the gloomy yet beautiful storyline in this novel. The color scheme of this flyer goes along with the theme of the book to show the that even the darkness (a.k.a the gray) there is still hope if you look at it in the right way (blue).
