The Book of Mystery
Web Design
The Book of Mystery is a web design project that reimagines the traditional book as an interactive, fun container of information. The website uses a special effect where the text disappears as smoke when the mouse hovers over it, adding to the interactivity and interest of the site. It includes illustrative artwork that matches the aesthetics of the web, mimicking the texture of print and enhancing the visual experience. In addition, the design replicates the typography of a novel and the yellow colour of old book pages, creating an immersive and nostalgic atmosphere. Users can independently rearrange the text to create new words and meanings, and simple page-turning interactions can reveal hidden information and add layers of exploration. By changing the direction of the flipbook, users can experience different interactions, making the project a dynamic blend of creativity and engagement.
