What happens when we die?
Humans are endlessly searching for the answers to life's biggest questions and whether an afterlife exists is the ultimate unanswerable question. For those who don’t believe in the existence of an afterlife, thinking about what might not await us after death can bring an intense feeling of dread.
My project provides a remedy to this in the form of an afterlife for non-religious individuals named 'The Hereafter'. This afterworld is brought to life through a combination of illustration, graphic design, letterpress and narrative environment. Each outcome takes on a different part of a person's potential journey to The Hereafter; from life, to the transitions through death and finally arrival in this afterlife.
The Hereafter Welcome Kit – A collection of graphic ephemera to welcome the recently deceased to the Hereafter (letterpress, risograph and digital print)
The Hereafter Welcome Note – Letterpress printed with typewritten elements
The Hereafter Ticket – Letterpress printed
