WOW FACTOR: I used a theme throughout my flipbook to keep it organized and lively. I used unique fonts and pictures that included all the labeled items that are related to the system and much more. I included a table of contents that is attached and linked to each system. The interactive flipbook elaborates and covers all the concepts of each and every system.
