British Museum - How the Ancient Egyptians Understood Death




With the poster illustrating the findings of my research, i tried to have the eye travel through each level in the background while tracking the progress of the bandage down the page, attempting to simulate the journey through these levels that the Ancient Egyptians believed they would each undergo in death. I feel that this effect could have been realised with greater success using a longer, more overtly vertical page. However, it was interesting to find how the loops in the bandage slowed the eyes progress down the image.
