Period Prop

For this project I could choose any story or come up with one to create a period accurate prop for. I chose the story of Howard Carter and to recreate his excavation journal. Following the excavation of Tut Ankh Amon tomb in 1922, in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

Based on the original journal and drawings by Howard Carter. I recreated the written and drawn pages and notes from the journal, as well as a a storyboard and a concept visual.
