With this book, I did not want to stray too far from the actual imagery that the children would see while in the museum. In doing so, this re enforces the memories they would make there.
The icons I created were based on pictures I took of the artifacts that I traced over with the brush tool in Illustrator to create a "handmade" feel to. I made sure that all of the main artifacts / references would have an icon to go with them, such as the mummified hand, offering table, and stela.
By creating these points of reference, it was easy to place the content alongside it to create an incredibly memorable experience for the kids viewing the exhibit.
