Design inspiration from the British museum ancient egypt room

// May 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // Photography, Photoshop, inspiration

I was last weekend at The British museum ( London – UK ) just to take photos and get some inspiration from the ancient egypt room , I love the old style of the ancient Egyptian civilization, by just looking at them, more than a million ideas and designs come to my mind, it is just full of inspiration ,

Have a look on some of them (I resized them to 800×600 but if you want to have the original size ( 3648×2736 ) then please contact me.)
The last photo is a Free wallpaper I made with resolution of 1200×1600 and I used these six photos

To see some of the photos I took at that day:
